The Vox wahwah pedal is pretty much just a basic wahwah pedal. I DO NOT mean that in a bad way. it has a great sound, a great roar when you push down on it, and you really cant go wrong.

People say that you cant replicate jimi's sound on thin thing. Well obviously you cant if you just plug it into a 30 watt solid state amplifier. you gotta have the equipment to go with it. And Being Jimi Hendrix qould help...

overall, a really great wah wah pedal for those who wanna have fun with their sound, and for those who want their sound to be spectacular.

i am very disappointed with this product. i bought one in early july. after it came, little less than a month later it randomly stopped working. I was sent a replacement pedal, which worked for about 2 months, then stopped working as well. I didnt do anything to it I wasnt supposed to, it just stopped.

Nice Wah-wah-Authentic 1960's Clapton wah tone!

This is actual wah-wah pedal that I own (I don't know the difference between the V847A and this one). If you read my review for the V847A, this what I was referring to. I love this pedal and have started using it again ever since I had the jack replaced (I was told jacks that jacks often need to be replaced). Again, this pedal is better for the Clapton/Cream songs. Another plus that I have noticed is that this wah-wah is better for arpegiated parts (like in White Room). Due to its nasal tone, this wah makes it easier to hear arpegiated notes which can be hard to hear with the Dunlop Classic wah (w/Fasel inductor). Both of the mentioned wah-wahs are great and this wah is very fun to play.

It's more for funk than for Hendrix. I still do plenty of solo work on this thing, but it's really just not the best for replicating Jimi's sound. And it's true, it really does rip the bottom end out of your sound. I guess you can just turn the treble down, but that's just an inconvenience. I've heard of people changing the pots inside their pedals to get different sounds. I want to find out what potentiometer Jimi used to modify his wah, because I really want my bottom end to stick around. A Strat just ain't a Strat without the thick mids.

I also suggest you get a noise-killer. I use a Squier Strat with my Marshall MG100DFX and I get no hum if it's just these two. Maybe it's just the extra cable I bought with this thing, but I get an annoying hum out of this thing when it's in the toe-down position.
