Hand-Wired Wah — Wah Tone without Compromise
VOX has always stood for authentic tone, and the V846 Hand-Wired Wah represents the most uncompromising expression of that legacy. Built with turret board construction and carefully selected components, it delivers unmatched clarity, warmth, and fidelity in every sweep.
Every detail has been considered: carbon-comp resistors, premium capacitors, a carefully voiced inductor, and a hand-selected potentiometer come together for the most articulate sweep VOX has ever produced. A Carling true bypass switch preserves your signal when the pedal is off, Switchcraft jacks ensure rock-solid and reliable connection, and its sandblasted, die-cast housing feels every bit as refined as the tone it produces. The sound is smooth, full, and precise—everything a player could ask for in a high-end wah.
Designed for guitarists who demand zero compromises, the Hand-Wired Wah is ideal for expressive players who lean into every nuance of their phrasing. Think of the clarity and control of Jeff Beck’s lines—where warmth and articulation blend perfectly. While informed by VOX’s legendary wah pedals of the 60’s, the Hand-Wired Wah has a voice of its own that caters to today’s player.
Over forty years after the original VOX Wah forever changed the sound of rock music, 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.
