In 1967, guitarists from around the world rushed to embrace the original V846 Wah Wah Pedal, known for its inimitable VOX sound. The V846 has more than earned its place in rock history, being used on countless legendary performances, including the famous playing of Voodoo chile at the Woodstock Music & Arts Fair in 1969.Now in 2011, over forty years later, the V846 has been reborn as the V846-HW Hand-Wired Wah Wah Pedal. While its classic tone is undeniable, the V846-HW was not created to simply repeat the history of the past, but to write new chapters in the future. As its name implies, the V846 Hand Wired boasts hand-wired turret board construction. But VOX didn’t stop there. Every component, including the inductors, resistors, capacitors, and the potentiometer has been carefully selected for premium fidelity and tone. In fact, a tone-preserving true bypass has been added to the original design. Outside, the die-cast body features a sandblasted exterior with crepe finish. The V846-HW is a perfect combination of VOX’s world-famous technology, with classical yet modern specifications, surpassing any previous Wah Wah pedal in history by delivering the purest sound.Hand Wired ArtistryThe 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 BypassDesigned as a premier pedal for the tone purist, the V846

Craig Rouse –
It’s a good vintage-style pedal. However, note that the unit is made for battery only, so there’s no 9-volt connection. Nonetheless, it’s perfect if you’re going for that 60’s sound. It sounded very similar to my standard Vox V846 wah, except the hand-wired version seems to produce a slightly bright sound. It has a solid built with an all-metal frame. I would appreciate a little more control over the range of the effect, though.
