Battle of The Two 'Cheapie' Wah Pedals!

Okay folks

I only really need a wah in my current band for two songs but I also use it for Pearl Jam/Jimi/SRV Blues jams at home. I want to buy either the Vox V847 or the Jim Dunlop GCB95 both priced here in England at £59 or £58.99 respectively.
Which one is it to be? The Crybaby at 1p cheaper or the solidly 1p more expensive Vox?
Thanks Greig

I prefer the sound of the Vox. I use an older Buddah however.

Out of these 2, I prefer the Vox as well, but it's close. I had the Vox for a year or so and liked it. Try listening to some clips, or watching demos on Youtube to see which you prefer.

I've been playing the Crybaby for almost 20 years... but I'm looking at going to an 847a soon. I'm not sure why though??? LOL

Are these new products done with surface mount resistors and capacitors? The deal with Wah's is that they can be tweaked easily, as long as they have leaded parts.

Save yourself the heart ache and get a BBE wah. Cheap price and tone second to none. none.

If you end up going for the Vox try to get an older one you'll be able to easily modify it to true bypass. The new 847a is surface mounted, what you want is the plane old 847.

Between the two Current Vox pedals,the V847a and V845,I liked the V845.Liked the way it was voiced better..The Current Dunlop Crybaby is a good well built wah.Be hard to pick between the 3 without a side by side..I got all 3 for comment sakes..
