Vox Wah Pedal (General)
Vox · pedal
The Vox Wah Pedal represents Vox's classic wah-wah lineage, the circuit family that originated the wah effect and became a foundational sound in rock, funk, and blues starting in the 1960s. It delivers an expressive, vocal-like sweep as the treadle is rocked, sweeping a resonant peak from a dark, muted toe-up position through an open, cutting toe-down position for classic crying and quacking wah textures. It suits funk, blues, and classic rock players wanting the vocal-toned wah character that defined the effect.
