Yea, but if you have the original v846, then I would put that aside for safe keeping and buy the reissue one for the road :shock:

I may get one if my old original Clyde McCoy bites the dust but after almost 45 years it's still going strong.BTW did anyone get a price on these little beauties?I suspect that they're a bit expensive but not as bad as having to spend $900 + for an original.If they were around $200-$250 it may be worthwhile getting on to save the wear and tear on the old pedal.

I think it would be less than that. Great idea to retire that McCoy from further wear and tear and this reissue would be a great replacment IMHO.

Check out the specially designed inductor.

This is what vox is saying about the electronics:

Quote:

Hand Wired Artistry
The internal circuitry of the V846-HW uses no printed circuit boards whatsoever; the hand-wired turret board construction requires a high level of craftsmanship, technical skill, and precise manual assembly. Labor intensive, this hand-wiring artistry creates an ideal and efficient signal path. Responding to every nuance of the guitarist's touch, the V846-HW is truly the ultimate Wah Wah pedal.

True Bypass
Designed as a premier pedal for the tone purist, the V846-HW provides a true bypass circuit to meet the needs of today's guitarist. Any coloration of the sound or loss in audio quality when the Wah Wah function is off has been totally removed.

Vintage-Spec Inductor; Smooth Potentiometer
The inductor is the heart of every VOX Wah Wah pedal. The V846-HW uses a specially-voiced vintage-spec Halo type inductor. The carefully selected magnetic core material and winding ensures a perfect reproduction of the original V846's Wah sound, the sound sought after by guitarists around the world. The potentiometer is a VOX original that features a distinctive response, and is sealed for durability. Thanks to a remarkably smooth curve, the region at the very beginning of the pedal's travel – a region difficult for conventional Wah Wah pedals – is assured sensitive response with an unprecedentedly fine degree of control.

Premium Components offer Maximum Sound Potential
Carbon composite resistors (made in Japan by KAMAYA ELECTRIC CO., LTD) are used for their extremely low noise and uncolored sound. As in the VOX Hand-Wired Series amps, high-spec polyester film capactitors are used. The high-quality footswitch made by Carling Technologies, was selected for both its reliability and its good feel underfoot. The Switchcraft® jacks are well-known and trusted for their sturdy bushings, simple construction, and high reliability. Together, these carefully selected components come together in the amazing V846-HW, the ideal embodiment of the Wah Wah pedal that only VOX can provide

Looks to be the real deal. Is it currently in production or are we waiting for it to land? Also, would you know if it's being produced in limited numbers?

From what I've read at the voxamp.com site, the wah is just about to be shipped, but haven't seen the retail price of it yet. Don't know if it will be in limited edition....I figure it maybe as it is hand wired. I will jump on this baby when it comes out for sure.

Funny, it looks just like the Trashcan inductors found on most wah's. At least modding the thing will be easier than on a PCB.

Here's a 67's innards

Hmm. True bypass may put off some of the purists.

And am I seeing it right - battery power only? That can be a pain for someone who is looking for a functional tool rather than a collectable for a display cabinet. Not everything got worse over the last 40 years, after all.

Still, those innards look beautifully built. I wonder who will be first here to buy one and post a pic of it on the Forum?

Cheers - C
