David Gilmour

David used a Vox Wah pedal with reversed connection to get the "Sea Gull" sound used in "Echoes" and in live versions of "The Embryo". Replaced by a Crybaby in 1974. David purchased this pedal in 1968, so it's likely to be the V845 model.

Description

An updated version of one of the most famous guitar effects pedals of all time.

The Vox V845 Classic Wah Wah Guitar Effects Pedal is based on the specifications of the original pedal developed by VOX in the '60s. The V845 Wah-Wah offers guitarists the same legendary Wah-Wah tone in a new sturdy but very affordable design. The fitted AC power connector saves on batteries and the outer case is coated with tough all-black finish making the VOX Classic Wah-Wah a perfect choice for your pedal board.

VOX developed the world's first Wah Wah effect during the '60s to give guitarists the ability to sound like a trumpet being muted-an important musical ingredient of the day. VOX's original Wah Wah pedal quickly gained widespread popularity and its unique sonic characteristics have encouraged further experimentation by guitarists ever since.

Cool wah, Sucks some tone

It's a cool wah, I like it better than the Crybaby pedals, you can tweak the range same way as in a Crybaby, and in my opinion it's a bit nicer sounding when you're on the lower position (less high frequencies) It's a wah, what can I say?

its an easy mod to convert a vox wah to true bypass and boost the effect output up to unity (or even give it a few dBV of boost)

Why did I get a wah pedal?

I still don't know, but I got rid of my Crybaby and missed having a wah so I bought this. Looking back, the Crybaby pairs better with other pedals. Complaint: I've used three different ones and they all sound dirty, like they need to be cleaned internally, right before hitting full heel.

forward is a bit bright for any thing other than tones with a fuller bass

Forward is a bit bright for any thing other than tones with a fuller bass. Otherwise this is a decent starter wah

Third and final musical gift from Christmas in 2017. Got from my grandpa who was in his band The Door Jams. Great guys. Really took songs and solos to a new level for me.

Reasonably good wah

I've had a few issues with the build quality on this pedal of late. I've had it about three years, so maybe it's nearing the end of its life anyway, but recently it moves far too freely and sometimes starts squealing when engaged. However, when it was working properly this was my go-to wah when playing Medicine Club's song, Build Me Up.
