Vox Offers Enhancements To Legendary Wah-Wah Pedal [ Winter NAMM 2007 ]

NAMM SHOW, ANAHEIM, CA, January 18, 2007 — VOX Amplification announces the new V847-A Wah-Wah pedal, an enhanced version of the most famous guitar effects pedal of all time. Based on the specifications of the original pedal developed by VOX in the “60s, the new Wah-Wah offers guitarists the same legendary tone with the addition of AC power capability and a buffered input jack for preserving the unprocessed guitar tone when the pedal is not engaged. The pedal’s inductor has undergone a redesign to be closer in specification to the original VOX wah inductors, for improved dynamics and tone. These additions will benefit players of all genres who use a wah pedal as an integral part of their sound.

About the Wah-Wah

VOX developed the world’s first Wah-Wah effect during the “60s in an effort to allow guitarists to emulate the sound of a trumpet being muted — an important musical ingredient of the day. VOX’s original Wah-Wah pedal quickly gained widespread popularity and its unique sonic characteristics have encouraged further experimentation by guitarists ever since. Having made spotlight appearances on some of the most famous recordings of all time, the Wah-Wah is still considered “must-have equipment” for guitar players of all levels and abilities today.

The VOX V847-A Wah-Wah pedal will be available April 2007 with pricing TBA.
