    It's the depth of the wah tone and the midrange of the quack that these old halo inductor wah pedals have. Modern wah pedals sound alright until you listen to these old wahs. Awesome playing again.

    Awesome!

    Actually, the first VOX wahs were grey and made in UK at the Voxworks plant of Jennings Musical Industries in Erith, Kent. They had a thinner sound and a narrower sweep. Contrary to popular belief, they were not prototypes but production models. A friend of mine had one. I've got a rare, 1968 model (made in Italy) which is identical to a Clyde McCoy script. It's known as the Queen's Award model. The only difference is the base plate which doesn't mention Clyde McCoy but has a symbol with a crown on top from when JMI were given the Queen's award for industry in 1967. The entire circuit board is encased in resin to prevent it being copied. Mine (serial 7729) is pictured on the Vox Supreme site along with a load of other vintage VOX wahs. I won't put the link here as YT doesn't like that, but putting 'Vox supreme' into a well-known search engine will lead anyone who's interested there!

    I see that myth of magical inductor is still persistent. It's not the inductor, it's mostly taper of the potentiometer. As far as vocal characteristic of wah, potentiometer makes it or brakes it.

    I use a 15-year-old Teese RMC3 wah ... designed to sound classic Vox but adjustable with tuner pots on the inside, can get your sweep just the way you like it and fine tune it for particular pickups. Have an early 90s Les Paul Classic, wanted a tunable wah to deal with the insane hot pickups (500T and 496R) that came stock, then readjust for low-output single-coil Strat pups.. Definitely a keeper; I replaced the worn out rocker pot and footswitch a few years ago.

    If it's just about the tone, the objective comment would be: "There are builders out there building wahs that have the clyde sound for 1/10th of that price". But as always, vintage gear isn't just gear...you actually have to look at it as a collectible item. It's not just the tone, but the piece of history...it's not just an expensive pedal, but the legend status...

      I've heard the Fulltone Clyde is as close to perfect as you can get. I'm just a huge Vox fan and really love the late 90's early 2000's V847 ones that were made in the USA. The Made In China V847A pedals are absolute trash. Really sad honestly.

    I ordered one from Chase and paid 500 dollars and that was part for part supposedly spot on
    I tried it against the one I modified and asked for my 500 dollars back..

    Not worth 3 grand imo and if I bought it probably would put it in a safe and never use it lol. I find myself playing my cheaper guitars and leaving more expensive ones in the case for some reason. You are a badass player man and could make any wah sound good but if that makes you feel better be down. I doubt anyone listening to you could tell though honestly. I don't own many peddles but your passion for them makes me really like the pedal pawn company.

    Law of diminishing returns. Yes it’s probably better but by how much more? 5% better? I have had several wah pedals ranging from cheap to boutique. I currently have a GCB-95 Cry Baby that I bought second hand. Is it the best I’ve had? No. Does it do the job? Absolutely! So is that Vox wah worth the extra 5% better sound? That’s up to the player. For me 5% better is not worth 100x the price of admission. I would much prefer to stay on a working man’s budget and get pedals that readily available, that I can afford to lose and abuse.
