Vox V845 Wah-Wah

Not brilliant either, but not bad. Run from a PSU rather than battery, there is less 'tone suck', but suck tone it still does. Sensitive to location in the pedal chain. Before OD/Dist/Boost and it sounds a little flat, after, it can overpower in the treble range on all my amps.
To alter the 'range' of the sweep, merely alter where in the pot the sweep occurs. Simple instructions are readily available, but in short, jiggle the rack position on the pinion. Easy job and reversible.
Activation whilst standing is easy. Sitting down to play, less so. At least it can't easily be switched in and out, it does require some pressure.
Sturdy case/treadle construction. No worries about being heavy footed, it'll cope. Easy to modify.
For an occaisional wah user, this'll do. For someone who wants to wah a lot, there are many better options out there. Still, it is inexpensive and does the job quite well after the sweep range tweak.
Dropped a mark as it is now noisy. Servisol to the rescue, but the pot is already crackly to the point of annoyance as I'm use a fair bit of wah now.

My first wah pedal ever. Not as great as i expected, but it does the job. It has a good sounding wah effect and it works well together with distortion.

However, it changes the tone drastically even when not activated, and I totally don't like that. It also has a very "sensitive" area around input and output ports and it makes a loud noise when you tap on them.

All in all, I would recommend this pedal, it is cheaper than most, but I have not tried others. This is a good buy to get started on learning how to use the wah and expanding your pedal collection! :)

This is my first Wah pedal and I love it. There was a small problem but it can be solved very easily.

This wah has no knobs or anything like that, you cannot adjust the tone of it but you dont need to, it sounds perfect the way it is. I mainly use it to get a Kirk Hammett-like wah tone for my guitar solos but you can also use it to get a nice funky clean tone or anything.

The problem I had with this wah is that the potentiometer inside the pedal is completely exposed, there's almost nothing that would cover it up so dust can get into it and if it does it will make a scratchy sound every time you use the pedal.
I used some WD40 to clean the potentiometer and I completely covered it up with lots of tape. Now the scratchy noise is completely gone and the pedal works perfectly. Other than that this pedal is perfect.

Personally, this is my first wah pedal, and honestly I don't use wah a lot. But when i do, I really like the sound of the one I have.
Pros:
1) Sounds good and clean.
2) Handled with care.

Cons:
1) If you use a high-gain distorion, like I do, you might experience a breaking point with it. It just happens to be that when you lean in on the wah with distortion really slowly, there's one part, where it just skips a lot ot the wah range.
2) If it matters, It's big.

Even with the one bigger downfall of it, I don't really feel as if i feel out of love with it. As I said, I use it rarely, but when I do - It delivers.

A very basic and well build product. It fits well as introduction for new beginners as well as experienced players.

The product itself is very durable. It has a nice rubber finish on the pedal itself which means it can handle rough on stage without wearing off the finish easily. The pedal itself is made of metal so you won't worry about accidentally damaging it

I had mine for over 5 years now and still it works as it did the day one purchase.


As for the cons there is not much to say, besides its lack of extra features and. Although I wish the battery solution would have another approach instead of the basic 4 screws under the pedal. Unmounting the screws doesn't take much time as it might sound, but faster change of batteries wouldn't hurt. Other than that there is not much to complain about.


If you're looking for a good introduction for wah pedals you do not need to look any further. It has all the fundamental quality features of a wah pedal for a great price. This product is a great investment in you guitar gear collections which will serve you in many years to come.
