VOX V863-CA Pedal Wah เอฟเฟคก้อน

The VOX V863-CA is an innovative wah pedal that masterfully blends traditional functionality with modern versatility. It addresses the common guitarist’s dilemma of choosing between a manual wah and an auto-wah by integrating both into a single, robust unit, all while preserving the iconic VOX wah tone that has defined generations of players.

Features & Functions

• Hybrid Operation: The core of the V863-CA is its three distinct operational modes:
  • Pedal Mode: The classic, manual wah experience where the player has full expressive control over the effect by rocking the treadle.
  • Envelope Generator Mode: An auto-wah mode where the effect is applied to every note played, even during high-speed passages. This creates rhythmic and dimensional wah sounds impossible with a traditional pedal.
  • Envelope Follower Mode: An auto-wah mode where the effect’s intensity responds dynamically to the player’s picking dynamics, resulting in a smooth, organic wah that syncs perfectly with the performance.
• Seamless Transition: While in either auto mode, the player can instantly take manual control simply by moving the pedal. Upon releasing the foot, the effect smoothly fades back to auto-wah control at a user-defined rate.
• Side-Mounted Controls:
  • Mode Switch: Selects between the three operational modes.
  • ATTACK: Adjusts how quickly the wah effect engages.
  • SENS/DECAY: In Envelope Follower mode, this knob controls the sensitivity to picking dynamics. In Envelope Generator mode, it adjusts the decay time of the effect.
  • TRANSITION TIME: Controls the fade duration when transitioning from manual back to auto mode.
  • POLARITY Switch: Reverses the sweep of the wah, allowing the effect to start from either the treble or bass end of the frequency spectrum.

Highlights & Strengths

• All-in-One Versatility: It’s the perfect all-in-one solution for guitarists who need both classic manual wah and modern auto-wah sounds without cluttering their pedalboard.
• Authentic VOX Tone: Despite its advanced features, the pedal stays true to the legendary, warm, and musical VOX wah sound across all modes.
• User-Friendly for All Levels: It’s an ideal tool for both beginners and seasoned professionals. Novices can easily explore wah effects via the auto modes without needing precise foot control, while experienced players can leverage its deep customizability to craft unique sonic textures.
• Robust Construction: The pedal is housed in a sturdy metal chassis, featuring the classic VOX logo and a durable, aesthetically pleasing treadle.

Application
