Description VOX V847-A
When you’re looking for a pedal that combines vintage character with modern reliability, halfway down that road you’ll discover the VOX V847-A — the perfect balance of unmistakable signature tone and dependable performance on stage.

Why choose this model?
- Classic wah-wah sound, a benchmark for guitarists across genres

Model Description
Simplicity on the outside, yet the VOX V847-A unlocks a wealth of expressive possibilities. Every subtle foot movement is translated into articulation, as if the pedal itself is “speaking” with your guitar. This makes it perfect for emphasising single notes, adding drive and drama to riffs, or elevating solos into powerful emotional statements.
Its build quality deserves special attention. The rugged metal casing not only looks classy but ensures longevity, even with regular live use. Input and output jacks are positioned for convenience, cables stay out of the way, and non-slip feet keep the pedal steady underfoot.
Another major advantage is its ability to retain your guitar’s natural tone. Unlike some pedals that colour the sound, this model is designed to maintain tonal clarity. So, even when the effect is in full swing, chords remain crisp and defined — crucial in a band mix, where each instrument needs to be heard distinctly.
The pedal runs on either a 9V battery or a standard power supply, meaning it’s always ready for action — whether you’re practising at home, tracking in the studio, or playing a packed gig.
Who is it for?
The VOX V847-A feels just at home in the hands of a beginner as it does with an experienced guitarist. If you’re just starting out, it’s a brilliant way to explore expressive techniques and encourages you to experiment with your sound. For professionals, it delivers that classic “wah” effect with ease, adding depth and emotion to your playing.
Session guitarists will value its versatility — equally at ease in a jazzy comping part or a searing rock solo. Sound engineers and producers, too, will find it a creative tool for recording unconventional guitar tracks or designing experimental textures. It’s one of those rare pedals that shines both in the studio and live performance.
