Vox V846 Vintage Wah Effects Pedal Reissue - V846VINTAGE

OVERVIEW

1967 is back – the new wah pedal from the original creators

First introduced in 1967 by VOX, the Wah-Wah pedal was originally designed to mimic the sound of a muted trumpet, stemming from the Midrange Boost feature of a VOX amp. However, it quickly gained popularity among rock guitarists and was rebranded as the V846. Legend has it that renowned artists like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton unintentionally revolutionized the use of the Wah pedal with electric guitar. Today, it remains a crucial tool for guitarists, standing the test of time since its 1960s debut.

Experience the accuracy of the vintage V846 wah sound with the new V846 Vintage wah pedal. Our VOX engineers have meticulously replicated the tonal characteristics of the original model down to the component level. The V846 Vintage boasts an assertive and fully extended frequency sweep, highlighting high frequencies and providing the perfect accompaniment to fuzz for iconic rock tones.

This pedal stands as the ultimate version of the revered wah sound.
