Vox V847A Wah

Unknown brand · pedal

The Vox V847A is a reissue of the classic 1960s and 1970s Vox wah, delivering the same vocal growl era rock guitarists relied on, with a warm, throaty character that's slightly darker than many modern wahs. As the treadle rocks, the sweep morphs smoothly between a low-pass and high-pass filtering character, almost analog-synth-like in its motion, giving it real vocal expressiveness on lead lines. It suits rock, funk, and blues players wanting an authentic vintage Vox wah voice for both cutting leads and clean, funky rhythm chop.
