VOX Real McCoy Wah Pedal (Limited Edition Chrome).

The New Wah Pedal from the Original Creators

1967 is back in a big way with the chrome Real McCoy Wah Pedal from VOX, a meticulous recreation of the original VOX wah pedal. Delivering iconic nasal tone and the same warm midrange that made the original pedal so legendary, this new pedal sports true-to-spec components and a body molded from a 3D scan of the vintage model.

Painstaking effort was taken to perfectly reproduce the vital tool that drove now-legendary performances from artists like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. All the components, including inductors, transistors, potentiometers, resistors, capacitors, and wiring are either newly designed to perfectly match the original specs or hand-selected to deliver the performance of a true holy grail unit. This pedal can operate either on 9V power supply input or a 9V battery.

Historic Pedigree

Introduced by VOX in 1967, the wah-wah pedal stemmed from the Midrange Boost feature of a VOX amp design and was initially marketed as a way to emulate Clyde McCoy's trumpet mute technique. However, an unintended but music-changing use with electric guitar turned the wah pedal into a vital tool for renowned artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, driving the creation of now-legendary performances and songs. From the 1960s to today, the wah pedal has become an essential tool for guitarists.

The Pursuit of the Ultimate Vintage Wah

The journey to the Real McCoy wah pedal was started by acquiring a mint condition vintage McCoy wah from 1967, referred to at VOX as the Holy Grail—the epitome of the ideal unit. Exhaustive A/B testing was conducted, systematically comparing its frequency response against that of other more conventional vintage units. This exploration unraveled the alchemy inherent in vintage components that collectively shape the unique frequency curve characteristic of the holy grail unit.

The new Real McCoy wah is unlike any wah on the market today, it's built with custom-designed parts to fully replicate the original. This includes newly designed inductors, transistors, and potentiometers, with hand-selected resistors, capacitors, and wiring to complete the circuit. This exact recreation extends to the exterior as well, with a body molded from a 3D scan of the vintage model, and a focus on detail down to the screws and font on the underside.
