Description
However, fortuitous but revolutionary use with the electric guitar transformed the Wah pedal into an essential ingredient for artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, leading to the creation of now-legendary performances and compositions. From the 60s, 70s and 80s to the present day, the Wah-Wah pedal has become an indispensable tool for guitarists.
Early wah-wah pedals are now vintage collectors' items: not only rare but also sought-after because of their unique sound. However, their high cost and component reliability make their use on stage risky. They can also be expensive to maintain due to the cost of replacement parts.
That's why VOX engineers have worked hard to unlock the mysteries of the original wah-wah. After years of research and multiple prototypes, VOX is proud to offer a range of new wah pedals designed to meticulously reproduce the exact tonal characteristics of the very first wah-wah pedals: the Clyde McCoy Wah and the V846. Indeed, a year after its release, the Clyde McCoy was renamed V846 for rights issues, it has in the process undergone slight variations in components that have nonetheless influenced its sonic character, with a lighter peak in the treble, thus becoming less sharp.
VOX therefore presents two new Wah pedals: the VRM-1 and the V846 Vintage, as well as a superb limited edition of the VRM-1, entirely covered in chrome, the VRM-1-LTD.
