The Chase Tone Vox Gray Wah Replica is a hand made replica of the 1969-70 Vox gray wah, built to reproduce what Chase Tone calls the "1969-70 Authentic British 'Dazed' Wah Wah Voice." It is a limited production pedal listed as coming soon, so it is not yet available to buy. Chase Tone builds it with vintage new-old-stock parts, including the original inductor, and pairs the circuit with its own wah output buffer.1
Parts and construction
Chase Tone's product page centers the replica on period-correct components. The parts the maker names are1:
- VINTAGE NOS Original Inductor, the part the maker describes as the featured vintage component1
- Original Exact Polystyrene Capacitors1
- Original Iskra resistors1
- Ultra Lightweight Aluminum Shell enclosure1
- Replica Tall Angled Feet, matching the original pedal's footprint1
- Military Grade Plated-Through-Hole Hybrid Layout circuit topology1
The polystyrene capacitors and Iskra resistors are the kind of period components that modern reproductions often substitute with current-production equivalents, so their use here is the core of Chase Tone's vintage-authentic claim. The vintage NOS inductor is the part most often singled out in wah circuits for shaping the pedal's resonance and voice.1
Output buffer
The pedal includes the Chase Tone Wah Output Buffer, which the maker lists as a headline feature. Chase Tone also sells the buffer on its own as the Chase Tone Wah Output Buffer Upgrade for players fitting it to other wah pedals.1
Availability
The Vox Gray Wah Replica is listed as coming soon and as a limited production run. It is not yet shipping, and a limited run means it may not remain available once the initial production is gone.
