Dude your youtube game is getting much much better. Great work
Thanks so much mate, trying to improve every upload 🎸📈
I use to live with and play in a band with the late Preston Hubbard of the Fabulous Thunderbirds,he had one of SRVs wah's that he gave him back in the 80's,I use to jam it on gigs,it was awesome
Wow that’s amazing! Please write to us by email if you ever want to sell it 🎸❤️
He stops waffling and starts playing @3:32
Duuude, awesome playing! So....expressive! You manage to....like......surf on a wave of sound when you are playing. Great gift!
Haha thanks so much 🚀🎸❤️
Prefer to hear the wah alone as well
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.
Definitely mate, and thanks so much for that
Sounds fantastic - that Rainy Day, Dream Away/Still Raining Still Dreaming wah tone is the ultimate for me. Old stuff is great, keep up the good work.
Wooooo! Totally!! & thanks so much for that 🤗
So damn nice! I'm the one that messaged you about the '70s Vox bag yesterday for a 68 Clyde Script. From what I could tell about the inside of yours here, the '68 (haven't bought it just yet( is the same thing. Hopefully it sounds as good as yours here.
Awesome!
Edit: I pulled the trigger and it's on the way
Rainy Day Dream Away is extreme. I have original script I bought for $20 used in 1970.
I think Frank Zappa was the first one to use a wah in public. Jimi got the idea of the wah from Zappa
If I remember correctly, Jimi in an interview stated that "tales of brave ulysses" was his introduction to the wah. Of course he then acquired one and mastered it!
Love the Clyde Mcoy Vox silvertops in general my favourite wah. But id say most of the magic is in the frequency range of the pot, thats what makes you like your wah pedal. Or not imo.
it has such an interesting filter sound! great video as always, your playing is killer!!!! thanks man
What a fantastic video I actually enjoyed it
Closest modern take of this is the vox handwired v846
The Pedal Pawn unit sounds premium as well.
i bought the reissue. i played about 10 wahs. that's the one i liked best. pricey but worth it.
Love that Strat!
LOVE "Rainy Day"!
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!
Yeah, those grey ones curiously had the inductor, transistors and capacitors wired in a in a line across the board similar to the extremely rare Vox EF-EL ones made in Italy for a short time before the fasel Jen made Era .
@@arfboucher3855 Yeah, my friend's one had the components in a line. Last time I saw him, I asked if he still had it and he said 'somewhere'! He'd moved to Germany! I had an Italian Jen for a while but sold it when I got the Vox
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.
Gary clark Jr when my train pull in, that wah work is insane.
Best sound you’ve ever done.
Thanks a lot mate
Keep up the good work!
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.
Hey man,, you’re pretty good… one of the best on UA-cam … first time I have heard that tone proper since the original Hendrix records
Can’t forget Charles "Skip" Pitts - check out his tremendous wah tones on “Shaft” live at Wattstax 1972
The best wah song ever
Recomend a listen to 'Clyde McCoy - Mr Wah Wah' think its 1953 but has some trippy delay effects
like the sound of the pedal 👍
I just acquired the Wah Clyde McCoy picture version and I wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts. It's truly impressive.
Amazing mate! Congrats on that score 🎸🚀
Pedal Pawn Wah! Pedal Pawn WAH!! Pedal PAWN WAH!!! PEDAL PAWN WAH!!!! 😆👍🏻🎸
🤣🙌❤️❤️
👍awesome channel!
Sounds incredible! Although do you know if this pedal was owned by srv as well? Since he also used a Jimi Hendrix owned wah pedal 😀
Great Hendrix / SRV tone, i wonder besides the wah and fuzz, what else are you using?
Really need a pedal Pawn Fuzz. Have a good germanium Fuzz I've been looking for a really good silicon fuzz and I think you guys make the Best I've heard.
Thanks so much mate, really appreciate the support 🚀🎛️
Come on, build a nice wah Pedal Pawn
Just use a Slash wah. The one that’s all old looking. It’s epic
Hi my friend, I kind of accidently just bought, what I thought was a Vox 847A but i believe it to be just an 847, no AC port and definaltly the old circuity, do you know roughly from when this pedal model was produced, I cant find anything on the net, looks identical to McCoy model here but doesnt have the plain production bottom cover, Id apreciate if you could help me out?
Also if youre interested in it, let me know
90s?
I was born in 1967
Good year 📈🎸🚀
Thanks for making great gear videos!!!! I was born the day light my fire went GOLD
Sounds freakin awesome!
Now then, I hope you and your posse’ are gonna reverse engineer this sucker and manufacture for us mere mortals?
👍🇦🇺
JH STRAIGHT AHEAD
I had one and they are great pedals. Regardless of value you wouldn’t want to sell it if you had one. Mine burnt in a house fire along with most of my guitar collection and most of my amps and other gear. If you collect pay to keep your collection somewhere other than your home. Trust me!
Thanks a lot for the nice comment mate. Really sorry to hear about that 🎸❤️
I owned one. Sold it 20 years ago for $500. Def regret it.
I do prefer a Maestro Boomerang tho...
Please make a pedal pawn wah. We need this type of tone reissued I’ll pre order now
Thank you so much❤️
@@PedalPawn can you do a video possibly on treble bleed circuits and how they work with your fuzz face? Iam sure you have one installed on your guitar would love to hear difference with and without. If you can still get that glassy tone without a bleed and volume rolled off
@@xfighter1117 I don’t actually have one installed mate 🎸
@@PedalPawn how about Jessie daveys SRV tone switch? You ever look into those? My old strat anything below say 7 on the volume maybe 6 it gets so muddy not even useful. I’m hoping your pedal can bring back some of that treble and glassy tone when I roll it down
@@xfighter1117 nice one, those switches are awesome! Yes, indeed, I think that’s what our Pedal does best 💎🎸
SOMEWHERE by Hendrix
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.
But Hendrix ran his fuzz after the wah
Mimi Hendrix used it for his music
I'm not spending big money on a wha just because it has a picture
random question…. how much money yearly does ur UA-cam generate if you don’t mind me asking lol
Thanks a lot for the question, this might be a video we do soon with a little breakdown, so far.. not enough to pay for the new cameras 🤣📸
This is all well and good, but these purchases had better inform future designs.
LOL I made one using a ben wah pedal 60 dollars hehehehe changed the switch to rock switch 2
and adjusted the throw.. Or you can buy this HYPE and take a chance for several thousand dollars on something that might or might not get the right one.
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..
Which he promptly sent cause id expose him otherwise ...
but lookie what money can buy.. look at me look at me how special I am ....
NOT........................
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.
That’s a good take, thanks a lot for watching and the nice comment 🎸
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.
Very fair take! 🎸🤠
