Vox Wah-Wah V847-A

This pre loved Vox Wah-Wah V847-A is in excellent condition and is a classic wah pedal that delivers the iconic vocal-like wah sound used in rock, blues, funk, and other guitar styles. It is an updated version of the original Vox wah design, providing a traditional sweep and expressive control in a sturdy pedal format.

Design and Build
The V847-A has a rugged metal chassis built for regular use on a pedalboard or stage. Its treadle pedal is smooth and responsive, giving precise control over the wah filter as you rock it with your foot. The pedal is designed to stay stable on the floor during playing, with a low profile that works well in pedalboard setups.

Circuit and Sound Character
The Vox wah circuit is based on the classic wah filter that has been used on countless recordings since the 1960s. The V847-A produces a wide, pronounced sweep that emphasizes midrange frequencies when the pedal is rocked forward, and dark, scooped tones when rocked back. The sound is expressive and dynamic, responding to playing intensity and picking attack.

Controls and Operation
The pedal operates simply: you connect your guitar to the input, your amplifier to the output, and use the foot treadle to control the wah sweep. There are no complex knobs on the pedal itself, keeping the interface clean and intuitive. A true bypass system ensures that your tone is preserved when the pedal is off.

Power
The V847-A runs on a standard 9-volt battery or an external 9-volt power supply (centre-negative). This makes it easy to power from common pedalboard power sources.

Tone and Applications
The Vox V847-A produces the classic wah sound associated with landmark guitar solos and rhythmic wah effects. It is suitable for rock, blues, funk, soul, and any style where expressive filter sweeps are desired. The sweep range is wide, letting you dial in subtle tonal shaping or dramatic wah effects.
