Independent shopping perspective
VOX’s V863-CA is a hybrid wah pedal that covers treadle-controlled wah plus two automatic modes. Pedal mode keeps the effect under foot control. In envelope generator mode, the wah action follows the attack and decay of the input; envelope follower mode instead reacts to picking intensity. Attack, sensitivity/decay and transition-time controls let you shape that response, while the polarity and mode switches manage setup and operation. With one 1/4-inch input and output, it can be powered by a 9V battery or an optional AC adapter.
