Classic 60's Wah Sounds..
Andre_t 03.02.2014
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.

Basic, completely reliable, matter of taste.
Tubedriver 03.05.2020
Excellent quality, sturdy reliable build, a simple effective wah that does exactly what it promises for a very reasonable price. Good choice for the beginning wah-user without all the tweakin-bells-and-whistles of the more expensive models. The voicing is a little bit warmer and less poignant than the ubiquitous Dunlops, so looks and voicing for someone who wants to be a little cooler than the next guy.

Vox wah review
coppingerdavid 29.04.2015
This pedal has become a permanent fixture on my pedal board, there is always a new usage to be found from it. The build is rock solid, it is quite a heavy case on the bottom of it, I couldn't imagine breaking it. Its very simple to operate, just plug it in and step on it and you get the sound. Its a classic effect but it does interact well with other pedals, so it can be used to get some new tones that haven't been heard before. I use it with single coil and humbuckers and both respond well, it works well with all my different guitars.

Still the best-sounding wah
melpadden 24.01.2022
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.

Great classic rock wah
Colm 06.12.2017
I bought this as a replacement for a Dunlop Mini Wah which had proved totally unreliable and a poor model in regards to other Dunlop Wahs that I have owned in the past. I owned a Vox Wah nearly 25 years ago and really loved the sound and it lasted nearly a decade with heavy use. Having gone back to using a Vox I can say that the fat and lovely classic 60s/70s Wah sound is still as good as I remember. The only downside is the travel of the pedal seems a bit shorter than the Dunlops but I have gotten use to it. There is very low noise and it switched on and off fairly easy (unless you are sitting down). A great wah at a very affordable price. Thumbs up!

Very Good Wah
johnsqua 21.01.2021
Decent enough, ever so slightly high on the treble but not an issue once you work out your tone. Very aesthetically pleasing

First wah wah
Deprezie 22.02.2023
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

A pleasure to use
rp2709 18.01.2021
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.

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

Classic VOX Wah Tone!
Peter Tamas 06.01.2015
One of the greatest wah pedals, beautiful wah tone. A real vintage wah pedal with its defects.
Some players might find short the movement of the pedal but it's easy to get used to.
Another problem I found, the potentiometer is not covered so all the dust and dirt can easily get in to the pot. After two month of use my V847 started to make those well-known scratchy wah sounds.
However, you can solve this problem pretty easily with some duct-tape. (just cover the salient part of the pot with some tape)

Apart from this, it is a great sounding vintage-style pedal. I recommend it everyone who is into the old '60s-'70s tones.
