Introduced by VOX in 1967, the Wah-Wah pedal was originally designed to imitate Clyde McCoy's trumpet mute. However, serendipitous 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. The wah-wah pedals of the early days are now vintage collectors' items: not only rare, but sought-after for their unique sound.
However, their high cost and the reliability of their components make their use on stage risky. They can also be expensive to maintain because of the cost of spare parts. That's why VOX engineers have worked hard to unravel 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 replicate the exact tonal characteristics of the very first wah-wah pedals: the Clyde McCoy Wah and the V846.
A year after its release, the Clyde McCoy was renamed the V846 for rights reasons, and has undergone slight variations in components that have nevertheless influenced its sonic character, with a lighter peak in the treble, making it less sharp. VOX 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.
