Best looking pedal ever. Disappointing tone.
I already have two Crybaby's (GCB95 and 95Q, which I love to death), but I always have had G.A.S. for a Vox wah pedal, because it has a different tonal character and it LOOKS so deliciously stylish.
I've tried them side by side for a couple of weeks. Here are my findings.
The good: the V847A's clearer/less coloured sound makes it fantastic for clean licks and 70's funk. Cool for some blues too. Looks are super sexy and retro-correct. It has a much better input buffer/bypass than the older Vox wah's (less tonesuck).
The bad: alas, it doesn't exactly sound like the warm old 60's wah pedals. It has a much thinner and treblier timbre, with muddy lows and piercing highs. Which sucks for distorted tones. Really disappointing.
To conclude: I didn't keep it. Will stick to my Crybaby's!
Edit: I just bought an older made in USA V847 (second-hand) and it sounds SO much better and warmer than the new V847a. It's fantastic with overdriven sounds!! Go for the old one!

Vox Wha
The pedal looks pretty good.
Sonicaly, it does what its supposed to do for the money.
I expected a deeper wha effect, though.
I operated it on battery and it will last for about 20 hours before it runs out.
This Vox is made in China and it keeps squeaking all the time and do some weird "Bip" when I am halfway pressing the button.
I wouldn't buy one again .
