Vox VX V847A Wah Reviews

Just great

Clear wah sound, no issues!

VOX NOICE

So much better than ibanez, versatile

Very good sound for the price

Love it. Great sound and feel for the price. Would buy again!

Perfect!

i recently purchased this vox pedal because i have been wanting a good wah for a long time. İ’ve tried crybaby wah pedals but i wasnt that pleased with any of them so i decided to buy a vox wah. i got the pedal and it just looks so cool just like the ones hendrix used in the 60s with a case if anyone wants to have a trip with their wah. i recomend it to everyone who wants that 60s sound to buy this wah.

It's ok

For the price It's good but the sound is kinda meh for metal. And it doesn't come with a power supply or extra cables it's just the pedal wich kinda sucks tbh. Otherwise it's ok

First wah wah

It has a sturdy build quality and it looks great. My only negative thing about this pedal is that it feels like a bit to short in reach between the two ends. I am a beginner to wah wah pedals so don’t know if this is standard

Classic wah

Brighter than most other wahs from brands like dunlop. Great for funk.

Good enough for Jimi and Eric

Does what its supposed to do and does it very well.

It's a wah

Big, heavy pedal. It does what it's supposed to do. I am not afraid to put my weight on it.

Too stiff

Except for one major issue, it's fine. However, I would not recommend it if you ever wish to use it not standing up. I am not a small man, but even standing up I really have to push hard. That makes it extra hard to switch over to use smoothly, and when you have to expend so much effort it's hard to get feedback from the switch that it has actually clicked. For that reason I rarely use it, because it's just not fun to use. Hard to see how this would be of use on stage, with a lot of noise, movement and vibration it would be impossible to tell if it had clicked. Next time I will spring for something a bit more expensive, or try and buy something in person

Great pedal!

I love using this pedal so wah wah

Still the best-sounding wah

I've used a lot of different wah pedals, I love the wah sound. If you want classic wah tones with minimum fuss, this is wha you're after. 70's funk, Shaft-style, beautiful, lyrical leads a la "Sweet Child O'Mine", dreamy soundscapes like Hendrix.... this wah can do it all. The difference, as I see it, is in the voicing. Every wah has a personality, and this is sweet and expressive, without the overly scooped mid and biting top of the Crybaby. I've tried a lot of digital knockoffs as well, and none of them quite get it right. I've owned three of these wahs, because they keep getting stolen on me by jealous guitarists and unscrupulous musicians of all kinds. I'll always have one in my gear bag.

My favourite

I have Dunlp 535Q, MXR MC404, and this one... I like this one the best. Less versatile, but warmer sounding. Has a better sweet spot.

What you see is what you get

The circuit of this pedal is allegedly supposed to be more or less identical to the Dunlop Cry-Baby in the same price range. I have no clue if this is true, but I have both pedals and I definitely prefer the Vox. To me, it has more "snarl" in the sweep and therefore more character than the Dunlop, which I find to be a little too bland for my taste. If you want lots of features and options to tweak, buy a Fulltone or one of the high-end Dunlops. But if you just want a "meat and potatoes" kind of wah for classic rock and blues, this will do just nicely. Especially for the money.

Very Good Wah

Decent enough, ever so slightly high on the treble but not an issue once you work out your tone. Very aesthetically pleasing

A pleasure to use

But quite a pain to turn on and off. I have to put all my weight on it in order for it to turn on. I'd sometimes like to use it sitting.

Sounds good, really.

VERY NICE!!! Be creative...

The pedal is very well build, little bit heavy but at least stays on ground. If you want to change battery its very easy to do that. Just unscrew rubber legs (its possible with bare hands without screwdriver what i really like) and there you have it...

Well build classic for some hendrix tones. But you could use it as treble booster as well on full wah... If youre hendrix fan or even queen where brian may used treble booster you could buy this thing and boost some frequencies.

I could recommend that pedal, great quality, good price and old classic look as well :)

Best looking pedal ever. Disappointing tone.

I already have two Crybaby's (GCB95 and 95Q, which I love to death), but I always have had G.A.S. for a Vox wah pedal, because it has a different tonal character and it LOOKS so deliciously stylish.

I've tried them side by side for a couple of weeks. Here are my findings.

The good: the V847A's clearer/less coloured sound makes it fantastic for clean licks and 70's funk. Cool for some blues too. Looks are super sexy and retro-correct. It has a much better input buffer/bypass than the older Vox wah's (less tonesuck).

The bad: alas, it doesn't exactly sound like the warm old 60's wah pedals. It has a much thinner and treblier timbre, with muddy lows and piercing highs. Which sucks for distorted tones. Really disappointing.

To conclude: I didn't keep it. Will stick to my Crybaby's!

Edit: I just bought an older made in USA V847 (second-hand) and it sounds SO much better and warmer than the new V847a. It's fantastic with overdriven sounds!! Go for the old one!

Vox Whah V847A

Nice Wah great sonnd very robust will last for years

Jimi knew what he was doing

Perfect pedal for looking for that unique Hendrix sound. Very well made and easy to figure out and start jamming on. Very much recommend when looking for a Hendrix or SRV sound. Essential building block when creating a all round pedal board!
