  Characteristics

  The Vox Big Bad Wah is a wah-wah pedal designed by both Vox and Joe Satriani. The pedal goes beyond being just your basic wah, as there are a number of parameters on here not normally found on wah pedals. The Big Bad Wah has standard 1/4" TRS connections and can be powered by either a nine volt power supply or battery. This isn't rack mountable as it is controlled by your feet.

  Utilization

  Although more complicated than your average wah, I still wouldn't say by any stretch that the Vox Big Bad Wah is hard to use. As far as parameters go, the pedal has a knob for drive, a voice selection switch, an inductor button, and a button to choose between two different wah modes. After using the Big Bad Wah for only a few minutes, I was able to get a great idea of what everything did and how to use the pedal as a whole. For this reason, I don't think that you need a manual for this pedal unless you're new with wah-wah pedals.

  Sound Quality

  Having two different modes on the Vox Big Bad Wah is probably its best feature, as it makes this one of the most versatile wah pedals out there. You've got the first mode which will give you the original Vox wah sound, and then the second mode is one designed by Satriani which is a different flavor and provides you with a lot of controlling options. You don't have to be a fan of Joe Satriani to like this pedal, as the wah tones available will most likely be appreciated by most guitarists regardless. I like the sound of both of the modes as I find that both will work quite well in different situations...It's just great to have both of them at my feet within one pedal.

  Overall Opinion

  There aren't too many wah wah pedals out there that have as much versatility as the Vox Big Bad Wah does. However, this will really cost you the price of two separate wah pedals anyway, which is my only complaint about the pedal. Having said this, the pedal is made extremely well and should be one that lasts a while if treated right. I'd encourage anyone who wants a very versatile wah wah pedal to check out the Vox Big Bad Wah.

  M0rell0's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Very bubbly this big bad wah [container valve]"

  Characteristics

  When a virtuoso of the guitar meets the engineers at Vox was at the chain end product nikel.
  
  
  
  Two possible settings (red) or Drive Voice: like the sound of a talk-box view of a bass wah. The ability to boost the wah is enormous.
  
  
  
  You can also switch between the US to UK (green).
  
  
  
  It also takes a little more room than other wah, Watch out for your pedalboard measures: 130 x 253 x 78 (mm).

  Utilization

  It's a wah, the settings are super basic. I do not even know there was a manual. Small flat, you can not switch from voice to drive or to a US wah UK also in a song (there are ways bare foot, but the galley). I quibble, it would have been cool but surely unmanageable ...
  
  
  
  I for 1 year, I do not want to change but I had a small problem: the use of force, she began to whine (it happens with all my wah). After that it was limp and screw it boring.

  Sound Quality

  At the top you can go from a very dirty sound funky (in a good sense) easily, but the drive does not act as a distortion with a clear background and drive to make it not a terrible home I fender amp all rotten not include the frequencies of the wah. I do not know what it looks like a good tube amp. But combined with a good distortion or overdrive it sends a good pate.

  Overall Opinion

  I had a lot of wah (Jimi Hendrix, ibanez wh10v2, VOX, dunlop) but this one is by far the best wah on which I played. It cost me candy but it's a purchase to make, simply because it offers a range of sounds 1000 times more interesting than the standard wah.

  Characteristics

  A double wah couraging in collaboration with an amateur guitarist I do not know: some Joe Satriani.
  
  Trve joke, Vox Satch is associated with long-standing brand it has about an wah couraging custom name.
  
  
  
  We thus find:
  
  - A classic Vox wah but the scan is more fluid
  
  - A customizable wah with a Drive control, a voice or slecteur wah (approximating a voyelliseur) and a choice of two self inductions: one type English (United Kingdom) and another type amricaine .
  
  - Two LEDs to select resumed wah / voice and the kind of self induction
  
  - Powered by 9V battery or mains (adapter not included, as always!)
  
  - Tilt adjustable in stiffness and crmaillre short stroke, switch mcanique
  
  
  
  The pedals are solidly built and srieusement. The finish is black mtallise, plutt chic.

  Utilization

  The use is very simple. Many sounds available in the foot.
  
  Better to play without all of the same shoe to change up the self-induction or wah sound / voice.
  
  The passage of a wah and the other is really simple and well thought out.
  
  Personally I had a manual that came with.

  Sound Quality

  The classic wah trs beautiful. Vox amliore a standard.
  
  The wah is customizable multi-trs: UK sound smoother and more aggressive US, the choice between a wah sound and voice and then the Drive, which is in fact boost. All sounds are Russian and fit all the guitars and all musical styles.
  
  The strength of the pedals is best able to spend instantanment a classic wah wah a personalized and even custom settings to change almost steals.
  
  A beautiful Russianness.

  Overall Opinion

  A beautiful PDAL report qualitprix trs INTERESTED (175 euros).
  
  Sr Although some will find it lacks some rglages (Q and equalizer among others). But sincrement PDAL of such a quality with a beautiful simplicity to use, difficult to find rel default.

  Mode Wah Wah is a fixed one. It is based on the sound of the Vox Wah Classic

  PDAL this works just as well for bass and other so deadly.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a short week, considering the price approx (175 euros) and the report qualitprix is ​​good, of course twice as a classic wah (cry baby ...) but nothing to do with a simple wah wah you have several types of rglages (wah 1 / 2, gain ...)
  
  
  
  With these commands, you can create your own sound and easily switch from one mode to 2 using the foot switch
