VOXWAH V847 - Classic Wah-Wah Guitar Pedal

I just got this as a replacement for my Cry Baby, which had started crackling and was seizing up. This is great! Not only is it nice and smooth, I prefer the tone to the Cry Baby too. Only had it about a week so we’ll see how it stands up over time, but so far I’m very happy.

I have been through a lot of wah pedals... I've had great ones, but there's always been something lacking. I've found it now! Sounds awesome, very easy to engage so my preference for switchless has now gone, built really nice, just all around incredible pedal. Buy it!!!

Many years ago my dad took me to a guitar shop for my birthday. I bought a Korg recording desk and I wanted a Vox wah. They didn't have one so I left with a Cry Baby standard.Now I've gigged and played that pedal for well over a decade and it's been great, but there were a couple of things I didn't like about it. It sucked a bit of tone, not a lot, and it always seemed to add a few decibels of gain. Once you turn it off it seemed like your dry signal was super quiet.The Vox solves those two things. It's got a little less gain in it and it has a smoother sweep with a little more low end.These details are very subtle however. It's not night and day when I a-b them.The look, the construction quality and the feel of the pedal is excellent. Mine was a bit creaky from new but I moved the grease around a bit and it's settled down.

Good quality budget wah pedal, Vox’s cheaper model but still has solid construction and classic Wah tones (Vox Wahs sounds slightly different from the other classic, Crybaby Wah - listen to YouTube comparisons to see which tones you compare). Sounds great on my pedal board along with my fuzz and tube screamer clone.

I went down a hole of Wah options... This thing is great! I'm really enjoying it! Is it better than all the others? Maybe, but that's irrelevant, this one's mine and I'm having great craic with it!

Amazing pedal highly recommended

Got as a replacement for a 70's crybaby that has gone awol, but I wanted something slightly different for when it turns up... (I know it's somewhere but had a gig I needed one for), and the look, quality and sound of this is excellent. TBH, they are the same thing as VOX and Crybaby share dna, but you really cant go wrong. Very happy.

It's an interesting question: what is more important, authenticity or sound?The issue raises its head here: I won't question this device's authenticity, but is it worth this device being authentic, if it does not offer true bypass?Well the true test is when you try it: for me, I can hear a noticible cut in some frequencies resulting in a thinning of the sound. Maybe with your set up, you might not notice the difference, but in my rig (62 reissue Strat/Duncan SSL-1 pickups/EH clean boost/Ibanez TS-9/Fender Hot Rod), it undoes all my work optimising my tone....most ironically, when I'm not using it!It is possible to hack a bypass at the cost of a new footswitch, a foot of cable, some soldering and and hour of your time, but this should not be necessary.So what to do? Build a wah that's not authentic? It is a quandry for Vox. And to be fair, that is probably why they charge half for this than The Other One.In other respects, it works well and seems robust enough for life in the road, so the real question is, what should you do?Perhaps instead we could ask: what would Jimi do? Well he had access to plenty of creative guitar techs who'd do custom wiring jobs, like rewinding his pickups (which is how a young Seymour Duncan got his start, I understand). So yes, if you're handy with a soldering iron (like me), then knock yourself out. You could also invest in some A/B switches and rig up some form of physical bypass.But I think were Jimi alive today, he'd just buy a better wah.But hey, it's your call. I just think you shouldn't have to compromise, and that Vox missed a trick here.

Had a cry baby and gave it to promising young guitarist 12 years ago. She made it big time in the music industry, you don’t know her name but you’ve heard her guitar. This VOX is really great! The sounds I get from my starter guitar are unbelievable. I run it from my guitar , then an Ibanez Ts9, then through an effects platform that I kept from 1993. For a $100 well worth it. Came in nice box, un damaged in timely manner. The range or sweep of pedal is tight, takes a little time to get comfortable.

I love the tone and sweep range! Has lots of bite and a nice filter. I have owned other wah pedals before and this is my favorite by far, especially at this price point. There is no unwanted noise nor crackling, especially that I play with lots of distortion. My only nit-pick is that it's hard to click when you are seated and there is no light showing if the wah is engaged. I read other complaints that there is no volume swell option, but honestly I don't care, as I have never used that effect with my other wah pedals. Don't waste your money on expensive signature models...This one I highly recommend!

Se escucha muy bien tiene los efectos esperados

Pedal Wah Wah bem construído e robusto.

Hasta ahora es el mejor Wah de Vox que he tenido, he probado el 845 hecho en China, 847 hecho en China y 847 hecho en USA y el 846HW los supera a todos (en mi opinion) por el sweep del potenciometro; se siente como cambia la frecuencia en todo el trayecto del pedal sin sonar nasal, funciona para cleans y distorsion sin problema, ya incluye un switch true bypass asi no tienes que comprarlo aparte, incluye una tapa transparente por si quieres ver circuito sin abrirlo (que por alguna razon no aparece en las fotografías pero se agradece la sorpresa), la funda tiene un look muy vintage que personalmente me gusta mucho y simplemente el look del pedal es excelente, es raro encontrar un pedal de Wah con buen sonido recién salido de la caja y este supera las expextativas, si acaso el único detalle es que no incluye jack para conectarlo con eliminador pero fuera de eso lo recomiendo muchísimo.
