Introduced by VOX in 1967, the Wah-Wah pedal was originally intended to emulate Clyde McCoy's muted trumpet technique. However, the accidental but music-changing use with the electric guitar wah pedal turned into a crucial tool for prominent artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, leading to the creation of now-legendary performances and compositions. From the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Even today, the Wah-Wah pedal has become an indispensable tool for discerning guitarists.
Wah pedals from the early days are now classified as vintage: not only rare but sought after for their distinctive tone. However, high costs and the reliability of the components make them risky to use on stage. They can also be expensive to maintain due to the cost of spare parts.
As a result, VOX engineers have worked hard to uncover the mysteries of the original wah. After years of research and several prototypes, VOX is proud to offer a series of new Wah pedals designed to accurately replicate the exact tonal characteristics of the ultimate pedals associated with the McCoy Wah and V846.
There are two new Wah pedals, designed to cater for different musical applications: the VRM-1 and the V846 Vintage, along with the lavish Limited Edition VRM-1 completely encased in chrome plating.
