Members apostrophe Posted September 28, 2006 Members Share Posted September 28, 2006 It doesn't have the "wahness" that I need it to! I always thought it had a great, long sweep with a nice funky quack. Lately I had been noticing it was loosing it's wah so I replaced the battery. It still sucks! It has a loud, annoying, trebly quack and the sweep is almost non existent. Frankly it's barely wah-ing at all! Also, it's noisy as hell! Toe down position is really staticy...so much so it's unbearable! WTF?! It's a stock Vox V847, about a year old.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is definitely something wrong! Even my wife was asking why I can't funkrock it like I did a few months back! I mean, it sounds like it's not even on! There is very faint wah, with no real sweep. It's kind of like just a toe down sound and a toe up sound and nothing in between! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members comfortablynumb Posted September 28, 2006 Members Share Posted September 28, 2006 "Honey, you don't seem to be funkrocking any more.. What's wrong?"Sorry, I thought that was hilarious. My Snarling Dogs wah did this a few years back. I opened it up and I found the input jack casing was cracked pretty badly. Maybe the input jack itself came loose from the board or something. That's all I could figure it was. I still don't know, though.. I never bothered to get it fixed. It was a terrible sounding wah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members comfortablynumb Posted September 28, 2006 Members Share Posted September 28, 2006 By the way, if you just bought it a year ago, new I'm assuming, I'd give Vox a call (or email). I'm sure they would offer to fix it for you. Might cost you shipping, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 88mm Posted September 28, 2006 Members Share Posted September 28, 2006 I have had my inductor go bad. That caused mined to lose it's wahness. I think I have an extra stock inductor around. If you want I'll send it to ya no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members apostrophe Posted September 29, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 29, 2006 Might end up sending it out somewhere anyways to TB it and maybe customize it a bit. What's an inducter do?"Baby please! You gotta funkrock me!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
