Model Overview
When you first pick up the VOX V845, what strikes you is the sense of robustness. Built from solid metal, this pedal leaves no doubt it can withstand countless rehearsals and gigs. It features the unmistakable slanted housing — the classic silhouette VOX has become renowned for.
But the real magic lies in its sound. It’s bold and rich, yet clear and transparent. With smooth movements of your foot, you can shape a soft, subtle purr or unleash a sharp, piercing scream. This is why the effect has become adored by guitarists across genres — from funk to metal.
Another key benefit is its simplicity. No knobs, no unnecessary switches — just instant, intuitive control. Want to add emotion to your chords? Simply rock the pedal to the rhythm. Need to make your solo shine? A few moves, and your guitar bursts into life.
The engineers have preserved that signature vocal-like character that made the effect iconic back in the ’60s, but the pedal has been refined to meet the needs of today’s musicians with its practicality and accessibility.
