    Wha is a simple. lean and it's what. no boost.

    UTILIZATION

    The button is hard enough to snap. positive not activate it for nothing. negative, um sometimes it not activate as you press hard enough. but I do not care if I support, I support

    SOUND QUALITY

    By clean is great, it's the real vintage wah, distortion, and it almost looks like a talk box if you know or just use it if you know to use it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Cheap, the legendary wah, that you ask for? more robust because after some time has an annoying background noise in the action. but if it knows it can turn into a volume pedal

    Everything has been said, it's a wah setting possible without externally

    UTILIZATION

    Usage is very simple. A manual for what?
    Some point to the problem of engagement of the end, it is possible to better adjust the switch very easily (especially if it is changed, see below).

    SOUND QUALITY

    After several tries, this is my favorite wah, less aggressive, with a preference for clean sounds.
    I advise "just" to change the switch to install a true bypass, the losses are too large for my taste when the effect is off (I never plugged in for the pieces for which I used). It is a pity that this was not standard, given the cost of the operation. But it gives pleasure to do yours…

    Overall a very nice pedal, simple and solid.
    A little regret for the bypass to change.

    - Reissue of original vox wah

    - Buffered bypass

    - Rubber grip surface, chrome sides

    - Sturdy enclosure

    - Powered by 9v batter - No adapter jack (about 100 hours of continuous use depending on batter)

    - Comes with vinyl carrying case

    - Side mounted jacks

    UTILIZATION

    As with most wah pedals, very simple to use. Step toe down to engage, do the same to bypass. It ain't rocket science. No knobs or switches to adjust.

    That said, there are a few issues worth noting.

    The pot can eventually wear out, and get scratchy, and may need to be replaced. I've noticed they aren't the highest quality components.

    As with most wah pedals, very simple to use. Step toe down to engage, do the same to bypass. It ain't rocket science. No knobs or switches to adjust.

    That said, there are a few issues worth noting.

    The pot can eventually wear out, and get scratchy, and may need to be replaced. I've noticed they aren't the highest quality components.

    The rubber feet at the base of the pedal make it difficult to attach to a pedalboard. The screws are a little too long to just remove the feet.

    The fact that it can't be adapter powered is another inconvenience. You can get a jack that will switch 9v battery to standard adapter input, and then run it out of the pedal.

    The rubber pads that prevent the top of the enclosure from clicking against the bottom come off pretty easily.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Really not the best sounding wah out there. Definitely useless with higher gain setups, just sounds really thin and fizzy. If you control the sweep really closely, and keep it relatively low in the heel position, it can sound alright for somethings. I found that in the toe down position it was stupidly shrill and piercing, pretty much useless.

    The buffered bypass is also pretty junky. I'm all for a good buffer, but this one just sucks all the high end out of your signal. To be fair, that buffer was an integral part of many guitarist's sound at one point, but if you're looking for something to preserve your beautifully perfected tone, this is not it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It is "Alright." Really nothing to write home about, and definitely not the best option out there. The questionable build quality, piercing highs, and shoddy buffer make for a very mediocre pedal. You would be better off with a modified crybaby. There aren't quite as many mods available for the V847, but the ones out there are definitely worthwhile. Stock, its just not that great. The older Budda Budwahs also seem to be going for a little less used, and sound incredible.

    I'd pass on this one.

    Wah-wah, in, out, or 9V DC in battery.
    Robust metal housing, access to the battery by unscrewing the 4 screws 3 below (can be done without screwdriver).
    Extremely simple, nothing to say.

    UTILIZATION

    I use it in my pedal board with a power supply. It works well.

    But:
    I would have preferred a slightly longer stroke and a switch over "plain", see a small LED indicator on / off. Let me explain, the "click" the switch is very quiet and loud noise situation, it is not always easy to realize if the pedal has been activated or deactivated.

    The wah pedal Rocktron Utopia G300 my package is better at this level. Best switch, small LED and the stroke length is adjustable.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound quality is very good. Perfect for rock.

    I use it with an Epiphone Les Paul (Seymour Duncan), an Ibanez and a JEM555 Fame Forum IV (Seymour Duncan) on an amp Hughes & Kettner Switchblade.

    The price / sound is simply excellent.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is an excellent entry-level pedal, sounding more than correct. Not true bypass but sufficiently transparent for my taste.

    If I have to buy one, I probably eyeing towards the higher end but it will unfortunately not the same budget ...

    Legendary!

    Alim per cell, no socket adapter.

    UTILIZATION

    The race is not so short that some may say, and with a little practice, you can leave it sounds excellent.

    I play funk, blues, stoner rock ... vox this goes perfectly with OD808!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I tried the cry baby, it seems that you will puke on it so it's dirty (it can please: D). The morley is awfully clean and personality, if a foot was meant to be.
    We will surely find better than the vox in the same style of sound (with adjustable ranges fq, boost ...) like Fulltone, rmc, wha probe of the Zvex, but at what price!
    In short, I found my wha.

    The Vox V847 Wah Wah has both a reissue and a vintage version, the former of which is the one that I have used.  Either way, this is an analog wah wah pedal that has 1/4 inch connections.  It can be powered by 9 volt battery and isn't rack mountable.

    UTILIZATION

    Using the Vox V847 Wah Wah is just as easy as using any other wah wah pedal.  It has simple connections and the effect can be turned on or off by pressing down on the top of the foot pedal as there is a button below that.  There isn't much more to this pedal and those who have used any sort of wah wah pedal in the past won't have trouble with this pedal.  A manual isn't necessary to use this, although I have never seen the …

    SOUND QUALITY

    The Vox V847 Wah Wah reissue is one of the better vintage sounding wah wah pedals that I have used.  It isn't the cleanest wah, but where it lacks that certain clarity it makes up for in its grittiness and depth.  It definitely has a warm and round tone, round being one of the best terms to describe the sound that I can think of.  I have used the pedal for recording with a Fender Strat and a '65 Fender Deluxe Reverb and the results are always outstanding.  While I can assume that the original V847 is better sounding than the reissue, the reissue sounds pretty great on its own.


    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using the Vox V847 Wah Wah for about two years for recording and it is definitely a great option for getting wah sounds.  It has a warmer and rounder sound than that of modern day Crybaby wah pedals and I love having both around for different situations to get different sounds.  The price of this pedal isn't all that expensive and is about right for a wah of this caliber.  If you are looking for a really warm sounding wah wah pedal, the Vox V847 Wah Wah is a great choice.

    Vox V847 Wah-Wah Pedal [1994-2006]Published on 04/15/09 at 11:12
    This is a pretty standard wah pedal, but it sounds pretty great. There's just the wah and a bypass which you activate by pressing the pedal down until it clicks. It's an old-school style pedal and it still works great. Nothing but an input and output, no midi or audio connections, but that's not really the point anyway.

    UTILIZATION

    The setup is pretty straightforward. The only thing that's somewhat annoying is replacing the battery. To do this, you have to remove the rubber feet with a screwdriver and take the bottom panel off. That's not too bad though. Everything else is just a matter of plugging it in.

There isn't much need for a manual. Make sure the wheels stay lubricated or else you'll have a hard time rocking it back and forth. This is generally not a problem for most people, though.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I particularly like the sound of this pedal. It's pretty bright, and without a compressor or some good EQ'ing it can be a little much when using distortion, but otherwise it sounds awesome. I think it sounds less cliche than the Crybaby, and other, later models tend to be cheap imitations with not as much clarity. Some models tend to overemphasize the wah by making the difference in the envelope enormous, creating a ridiculously obvious wah sound. This tends to ruin some of the clarity of the guitar you're playing. The Vox Wah wisely avoids this by making the shift less drastic and giving it a sound that focuses more on what you're playing than what your foot is doing.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had my pedal for about 8 years. I broke it once but I think that was due to negligence more than anything (I was young). I like the fact that it's simple and easy to use, and that it wasn't too expensive. It sounds awesome and it definitely puts most other pedals to shame with its tone and simplicity. The biggest complaint I have is honestly changing the battery, which is really just nitpicking. While there are other wah pedals out there that might be better geared for other people (namely guys who want a really obvious sound), I couldn't imagine playing anything other than this. I think Vox definitely nailed it with this one.

    This is a classic. True analog wah-wah sound with 'True Bypass' and a 'built-to-last' casing. These units have been around for years and are in my opinion still the best of their kind. The prices have come down because Vox (now part of Korg) is producing them in China now. Although I am usually picky about these things I believe it should be possible to produce an electronic device like this in the Far East without having to compromise on construction. The pedal I recenlty bought was of this make and I didn't feel like it sounded any different.

    Inputs and outputs are basic jack and you can power the unit either with a 9v battery (you have to unplug the device in order to prevent the battery from running dry) or an external power supply.

    UTILIZATION

    Wah-wah pedals are quite simple to set up. For those who haven't owned one just make sure to use it in the correct position. To me it sounds best after my two distortion pedals and all the other modulation effects - but before the reverb. It's a matter of taste if you want the delay before or after - just try out what you like. Remember that using the wah-wah after distortion gives you that huge sound you are looking for - putting it before often washes out the effect.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The VOX Pedal is quite warm sounding and you have a lot of control over the filter. The range is not as dramatic as it would be in a Morley Pedal and the Dunlop Original has more bite. I play with a Stratocaster and a Fender Twin '71 most of the time and bite is not the issue here...so to me most wah-wah pedals just sound too edgy. People should enjoy you kicking in the pedal not loath it.

    If you are into modern sounds and have an army of lights flickering in your rack when you start shredding then this might not be the right choice. For me I like the fact that I don't have to worry about finding thousands of sounds - I just get the one I was looking for and I can use it in almost any context.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I owned a Vox wah-wah many years ago and bought this new one last year. It is rock solid and to me there is just no comparison. The on/off switch is a lot smoother than on Dunlop pedals and I have a feeling that the pedal will not start squealing all of a sudden (this happened to me with my last cry-baby during recording). The price drop last year is icing on the cake - vintage freaks will probably go out of their way to get a model made in the UK...but to me they sound just the same.
