Vintage 1968 U.K. VOX WAH-WAH (Grey-Wah)


This is my Collection

Vintage 1968 U.K. VOX WAH-WAH
Called "Grey Wah"
Serial #: 6831

The VOX production "WAH-WAH" was made few version by three countries and difference in looks and internal circuit - U.K., U.S. and Italy. U.S. and Italy version has black painted body.



John Lennon and George Harrison used same one as you can hear the sounds in "Across The Universe" - Let It Be album track.

This U.K. Grey version is most wild tone and widely sounds in the VOX WAH variety.
I think this is the top of the WAH model ever made.
The other WAH be go to trash when you have great chance to using the Grey WAH.
