The Sonus Fox Wahs
After studying original Vox, Crybaby and JEN Wah-Wahs from the late 60s, we made some discoveries which we reproduce in our Wahs. I have recreated these pre 1971 wahs with all the right NOS parts. These old parts produce a lively vocal tone, sounding more sticky and 'throaty'. This typical character is lost in modern wahs.
Jimi Hendrix was probably the first to use a buffer in his wahs as early as mid 1968 in the studio (according to Roger Mayer). We have included such a buffer with it's own true bypass switch and potentiometer. All neatly tucked away under the treadle. Un-buffered the sound is crystal clear with a more mellow transition, excellent for clean tone. With the buffer engaged it gets a more distinct transition and works with fuzz or distortion, the buffer lowers impedance resulting in a better wah sound with fuzz tone.
In addition the buffer also enhances the wah effect when plugged into an instrument interface for PC/Mac recording.
