Vox VX V847A Wah Reviews

Great classic wah!

I have this pedal since 4 months and all i have to say is, that it does a great job!

Built like a tank, very sensitive and if you like classic wah sounds, i would recommend this for you.

The only problem i have with this wah is that it "squeaks" sometimes. I don't know where it comes from yet, but you can hear it through the amp. But i'm shure that it is not a big deal to fix this. Also the switch is a little hard to press.

All in all i would recommend this one for everyone who likes the classic wah sound. This pedal can do that special kind of sort. Not less and not more. Just what some people want.

Brilliant scoop, incredibly well made. Lives up to its reputation!

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!

I love it

It's quite cheap Wah pedal, but it suits me very well. I think it is very good item for beginner - it is simple and very durable. I use it with my Fender Mustang amp and Vintage V100 and it's sound is great!

Classic 60's Wah Sounds..

As soon as I plugged this Wah pedal into my VOX VR30 amp it was very clear that it has a beautiful classic tone, and put me in mind of a lot of classic Wah solos that have that nasal driving sound. It definitely reminds me of the solo on White Room. VOX are marketing this as a classic 'reissue' of their original wah pedals and I would agree with that. The unit itself is sturdy and feels like it will last, with strong metal construction and heavy rubber fittings. Jack inputs feel secure and the input and output jacks don't feel wriggly like on some pedals, jacks insert with a reassuring click and stay put. Comes with a nice vinyl carry case, which some might find feels 'cheap' but I find retro! The only drawback is a short travel of the pedal from open to closed - another few millimeters would make subtle wah effects easier and more intuitive. It doesn't have controls for Q etc of some wah pedals but I prefer simplicity in amps and pedals so that suits me - its tone I'm after without fidgeting and this pedal has plenty of that. Recommended for a classic 60's wah tone.

Vox Wha

The pedal looks pretty good.

Sonicaly, it does what its supposed to do for the money.

I expected a deeper wha effect, though.

I operated it on battery and it will last for about 20 hours before it runs out.

This Vox is made in China and it keeps squeaking all the time and do some weird "Bip" when I am halfway pressing the button.

I wouldn't buy one again .

Nice one

This wah is not bloody expensive but worth more than any other signature wahs in market. Best wah ever tried. Period.

A good wah-wah pedal

Feels and sounds good. Had to fix mine a bit with some lubricant since it was squeeking when I was playing it. Would have liked some kind of control over the "Q"-value or some kind of frequency-options, but overall a good pedal.
