Dude your youtube game is getting much much better. Great work

He stops waffling and starts playing @3:32

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

Duuude, awesome playing! So....expressive! You manage to....like......surf on a wave of sound when you are playing. Great gift!

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.

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.

I think Frank Zappa was the first one to use a wah in public. Jimi got the idea of the wah from Zappa

Closest modern take of this is the vox handwired v846

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.

What a fantastic video I actually enjoyed it

it has such an interesting filter sound! great video as always, your playing is killer!!!! thanks man

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.

Gary clark Jr when my train pull in, that wah work is insane.

LOVE "Rainy Day"!

i bought the reissue. i played about 10 wahs. that's the one i liked best. pricey but worth it.

The Pedal Pawn unit sounds premium as well.

Love that Strat!

Can’t forget Charles "Skip" Pitts - check out his tremendous wah tones on “Shaft” live at Wattstax 1972

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.

Hey man,, you’re pretty good… one of the best on KZfaq … first time I have heard that tone proper since the original Hendrix records

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.

I just acquired the Wah Clyde McCoy picture version and I wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts. It's truly impressive.

Best sound you’ve ever done.

👍awesome channel!

Pedal Pawn Wah! Pedal Pawn WAH!! Pedal PAWN WAH!!! PEDAL PAWN WAH!!!! 😆👍🏻🎸

Recomend a listen to 'Clyde McCoy - Mr Wah Wah' think its 1953 but has some trippy delay effects like the sound of the pedal 👍

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.

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 😀

Come on, build a nice wah Pedal Pawn

Great Hendrix / SRV tone, i wonder besides the wah and fuzz, what else are you using?

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

Just use a Slash wah. The one that’s all old looking. It’s epic

I was born in 1967

Please make a pedal pawn wah. We need this type of tone reissued I’ll pre order now

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!

JH STRAIGHT AHEAD

Sounds freakin awesome! Now then, I hope you and your posse’ are gonna reverse engineer this sucker and manufacture for us mere mortals? 👍🇦🇺

I owned one. Sold it 20 years ago for $500. Def regret it. I do prefer a Maestro Boomerang tho...

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...

SOMEWHERE by Hendrix

But Hendrix ran his fuzz after the wah

Mimi Hendrix used it for his music

random question…. how much money yearly does ur KZfaq generate if you don’t mind me asking lol

I'm not spending big money on a wha just because it has a picture

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.

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........................

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.

This is all well and good, but these purchases had better inform future designs.

Frank Zappa...
