V848 Clyde McCoy Wah Wah

The Vox V848 Clyde McCoy Wah Wah is a true icon of guitar tone, capturing the expressive, vocal-like qualities that made the wah-wah effect a staple of rock, funk, and blues. Designed by Vox in the 1960s, this pedal was the world's first wah-wah, inspired by the sound of a trumpet being muted. To lend the pedal his signature sound, Vox recruited legendary trumpeter Clyde McCoy, whose virtuosic playing style became synonymous with the wah-wah effect. This reissue of the classic Clyde McCoy Wah Wah stays true to the original design, with a custom-tuned inductor and a newly designed potentiometer for a smooth, responsive sweep. The pedal's iconic look, with its gray hammertone finish and Clyde McCoy sketch, evokes the golden age of rock when legends like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton used the Clyde McCoy to sculpt their signature tones. But this is no mere vintage relic - Vox has modernized the Clyde McCoy with true bypass switching and an AC adapter jack, making it a versatile and pedalboard-friendly option for today's guitarists. Whether you're laying down funky rhythm parts, carving out searing lead lines, or exploring the outer limits of psychedelic expression, the Clyde McCoy Wah Wah delivers the unmistakable voice that has defined wah-wah tone for generations.
