Vox V847

Description

The Essentials to Know About the Vox V847 Wah-Wah Pedal



  • Faithful reissue of the Vox Wah-Wah with vintage feel, inspired by the iconic models of the 60s and 70s

  • Expressive sweep and legendary "growl": perfect for making the guitar speak, from funk to rock

  • Iconic look with chrome moving part, instantly recognizable on a pedalboard

  • Complete simplicity: 1 input, 1 output, plug and play



A reissue designed like the original: the Vox spirit of the sixties in your pedalboard


The Vox V847 brings back one of the most identifiable effects in electric guitar history: the vintage wah-wah with a vocal character. Designed to recapture the sound and feel of the pedals that marked the late 60s and the 70s, it focuses on authenticity, right down to its aesthetics with the chrome top and classic format. If you're looking for a wah with a retro temperament, the V847 goes straight to the essentials.



For whom, for which styles, and in what contexts?


The V847 is aimed at guitarists who want a wah that is simple, effective, and immediately musical, without menus or complex settings. It excels in funk (snappy rhythms and precise "quack"), rock, and blues (the famous cry in solos), but it also finds its place in psychedelic and garage to thicken the tone and emphasize attack. In the studio, it helps shape the mids to stand out better in the mix; live, its clear sweep makes accents very easy to control.



Controls and design: the efficiency of a classic wah


Here, no frills: control is foot-operated, with a sweep designed to go from a round bass to a sharp treble. The connectivity is straightforward via an instrument input and an output to amp (6.35mm Jack jacks). This is exactly what makes the V847 interesting: a traditional, intuitive wah experience that is quick to integrate into any effects chain (before a fuzz for vintage textures, or after an overdrive for more biting solos).



The sound


The Vox V847 delivers a vintage-voiced wah, with expressive mids and articulation that gives the sensation that the instrument "pronounces" the notes. The low end remains full, while the opening towards the highs adds the necessary brightness to cut through a band. Very responsive to playing, it highlights pick attacks, double stops, and bend phrases, with the organic and lively quality expected from a classic wah.

pedal well received in its beautiful box and cover. Very happy with the sound it produces, it gives me a slight crunch sound with all my equipment. really a very good pedal that I recommend to all 6-string guitarists. If I had to do it again, this is the pedal I would choose without hesitation, !!! Vincent.

High-quality pedal. The sound is a real killer for Hendrix fans. Delivered in a black leather pouch. Vox doesn't change, sober and effective.

Pedal conforms to what you expect from a wah wah. I could only test it by playing alone at low volume, the highs are a bit shrill, we'll have to see how it sounds in a group at high volume.

Good pedal, sturdy, good condition, visually quite nice. Downside is the lack of power input. The stop comes quickly under the foot, surprising at first but you get used to it.
