Title: Vox 847A
Post by: Jinskee on May 09, 2007, 09:28:27 AM

Hello, I was wondering if any of you guys could help me on this one...

I play a lot of low/high gain material; cream, Gn'R, SRV, AC/DC, etc.

I was wondering if the vox 847 could handle hard rock distortion considering that a lot of people have been complaining about how it doesn't sound as good.

Cheers.

get on ebay and buy a 70s Jen Crybaby - these are on par with the most expensive boutique wahs and you're only likely to pay £60 tops.  

I have two at present, a standard one and a 'super' crybaby (wider wah sweep).  I used to have a Teese RMC3 but I really don't miss it at all having these old wahs.

Let's keep the animosity to a minimum, shall we? Visionpedalboards clearly knows what the hell he is about, and there's nothing wrong with a little free enterprise. He has only posted 18 times and NONE are even close to spam!!

Trolling will not be tolerated! :evil:
