foxx fuzz wah?

Sign in to disble this ad
A few questions regarding the foxx wah. Have they been discontinued? Their own online store is out of stock and the same goes for every online dealer I've found.

Is there a significant loss of low end as in other wah's made for guitar?

Is ebay the only place you can find one?

As far as I'm aware of they are discontinued. Foxx did a small run of their pedals 2 years ago. I own a fuzz wah and there is no low end loss. ebay or google searches would be your best bet. I might be selling mine in the near future but I have to get it back from a friend, if you're interested

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know what circuit is used the fuzz effect in these and the Jen fuzz wah pedals?

Was maybe thinking of getting a 3leaf GR2 and Bajo Mos booster or fuzzbox. Might be more practical with a envelope filter instead of a wah.

Ahh of course.

fOXX Pedals

Thanks for the tip, maybe a tech 21VT and one of these and I'm set.

adding them to these pedals should get me what I'm after.

meistersinger analog chorus
3leaf audio GR2
EHX booster.

Checked a few demos of the foxx tone machine and it just sounds a bit too over the top for me. If the EHX LPB nano boost doesn't cut it Im definetly getting a VT bass.

Rely happy with the overdrive I'm getting from my ashdown alltube LB30 head with my active bass but the passive needs some more growl at lower volumes.

I just got ahold of one of these off ebay, but theres a problem

The wah won't work

Does anyone know anything about these and how to fix the problem?

Everything else works great, I didn't think it was possible for just one effect to break in a multi-effects unit

Most likely it's the conductor coil. Is there a little round yellow cap with copper wiring in it? The copper wire must have come disconnected from the circuit board. I had the same problem, fuzz worked/wah was broken. It shouldn't be that hard of a fix if you're effects savvy. Let us know what's going on

I ended up sending the unit to Foxx to get fixed, recieved it today and still the wah and volume doesn't work! I'm so angry, I've ended up paying £90 something to get it fixed and it's still broke.

Does anyone know how to fix it and could you please send me instructions?
