better ability to shape tones with newer models.I got a Dunlop Crybaby a million years ago and havent looked back since, didnt realize there were such a large variety of them, I cant imagine what the real differences would be and why I would need another one.
Yea I hear that I had a V847 new in 94 then bought the one I have now in 99' in that time they changed to the sealed pot with the solder lugs on the back. And now I see they are chinese. Anyways directly compared to my Dad's 69' Vox Clyde the V847 is shriller but the vocal mod seemed to get it much closer into the ballpark to were I was happy with it.I have some how accumulated a small collection of Wahs now. I have always prefered the Vox "voicing" but realized the original Thomas Organ Cry Babys were the same thing, different housing.
My 1969 Vox V846 is my holy grail Wah
Vox v847 Chinese reissue, I actually prefer this time to the US reissue I gutted for the '69 internals. I am bummed that just 10+ years ago these were still made in the US. It has the vocality of the vintages wahs but the tone is shrill and bright AF compared to the vintage pedals.
