A Great Wah for a Great Price!

Being the original manufacturer and maker of the wah, Vox certainly has really done it with this newer version of the timeless wah pedal (contrary to popular belief, the Vox wah was originally called the Crybaby yet, for some reason, it was not trademarked...because of that, Dunlop was able to come along and rip off the name and they now claim theirs is the pedal Hendrix used--that's a lie!). Anyway, the Vox V847 is a very versatile wah. I've found that it's especially great for blues and rock but, if you want, you could certainly use it for jazz and country!

The only bad thing is that it does NOT include an adapter so you will either have to use a 9-volt battery or an adapter that you purchase separately. Other than that, the Vox V847 Wah is worth every cent!

This is great if your just experimenting with different sounds. I use it on my Line 6 Spider IV 15, and it rocks. I tried playing the intro of "Cyanide" by Metallica, and it sounded exactly like it off the record. Buy this wah!

Best Wah

I got this a while ago and it sounds great, I tried this side by side with alot of other pedals including the crybaby and this was by far the best. it is the original wah pedal used by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, they are why I wanted a wah to begin with. It is a fair amount more than the crybaby but I felt it was worth it. Plus it is the best looking wah pedal out there

Sounds scratchy with clean channel

The reason I decided to exchange this pedal for a Dunlop Crybaby is that, although the Vox Wah sounds awesome with distortion, it sounds terrible with clean. It makes a scratchy sound that comes out of your amp along with whatever you're playing. The Dunlop pedal does not do this and is a better pedal (and costs a little less than this one). I tried another Vox Wah, and it had the problem too. It seems they all have this problem.

Too Trebly

This wah pedal is simply just a bad wah pedal. My friend's dad bought it for him about a year ago and he never used it so he gave it to me and I have been upset ever since. When turned on there is a trashy sound every time you move on and it adds way too much treble to your eq. Not enough bass or mids and its not thick at all. I like a thick, meaty wah and this pedal does not have it. And this pedal is just flat out ugly. I mean gahly, why would you want such a dull pedal in your rig jeez. Save up and get a better wah pedal. As they always say, you get what you pay for.
