My house is starting to look like a Fender/Vox/Marshall dealership.This afternoon I picked up a new hand-wired Vox wah wah pedal,after just buying Vox amp No. 6-an AC 15- just 2 weeks ago.This is part of my Christmas present from the Missus,I had intended to get a T-Rex Gull pedal but when I saw the lovely Vox sitting next to it,I had to have it.I ran it through my AC-15 along with my Tech-21 RotoChoir and Way Huge Green Rhino with my Jimmie Vaughn Strat. I played Voodoo Child(slight return),some of Machine Gun and the wah saturated Brother Louie lead part by Ian Lloyd and Stories.This is the best Vox wah I've used-with the exception of my old '67 Clyde McCoy signature wah.These wahs beat the Dungplop pedals in every way.I looked at the Dungplop Jimi Hendrix wah for 2 seconds but I absolutely refuse to buy anything that Janie hendrix has her greedy mercenary hands in.Jimi's blood siblings Leon,Joseph,Pamela and Kathy Ira have never gotten one red cent from that cow that calls herself Jimi's sister when she only met him a handful of times for a very short period of time-but I digress.I took the cover off the pedal and looked at the guts of it and I must say that it's the neatest tidiest most well done piece of electronics I have ever seen.Every soldered connection on this pedal is incredibly neat to the poing that it looks machine made and the circuit board is laid out obsessively neat and clean.As in the original Vox wahs from the 60s and early 70s there is no provision for battery access unless you remove the entire bottom plate plus their isn't a jack for a 9V adapter.One neat addition they have though is an acrylic plate to use on the bottom so you can show the neat wiring job to others when you gig.

Congrats...nothing like a good Vox Wah...I use one of those myself. I think I have had it for well over 10 years now...works like a champ, very well built piece of equipment.
