NAMM 2024: Vox Are Bringing the Original Wah Pedals Back to Life

It’s time to funk it up with new wah pedals from the vintage master’s VOX! With Namm 2024 in their sights, they are bringing back the VRM-1 otherwise known as the “Real Mc Coy” and V846 Vintage, alongside a Limited Edition VRM-1 completely encased in chrome plating.

As many guitarists may be aware, wah pedals from the early days are now classified as vintage: not only rare but also sought after due to their distinctive tone. As a result, VOX engineers have kindly worked hard for us all to unravel the mysteries of the original wah. After years of research and multiple prototypes, VOX is offering these new Wah pedals designed to meticulously replicate the exact tonal characteristics of the ultimate pedals associated with the McCoy Wah and V846.
