VX V847A Wah : Brilliant scoop, incredibly well made. Lives up to its reputation!

12 years ago

I've never really been a fan of the Cry Baby, despite its overwhelming popularity. When I tried a friend's V847 I fell in love with it right away. The scoop is fantastic, much wider than the Cry Baby which is great for using a "cocked wah" sound. I sometimes use a wah pedal as kind of a slow phaser as well, and I find the scoop of the Vox is much better than a Cry Baby.

I intend to modify this to true-bypass as I'll be using it in quite a big pedalboard, but when used on its own there's really no need to. Any "tone-sucking" is hardly noticeable until you put either very long cables or lots of pedals along with it.

All in all a great wah, and looks amazing too!
