Frequently Asked Questions
The Real McCoy has a more nasal, vocal quality than a typical Cry Baby, with a more pronounced midrange and a slightly darker overall tone.
Vox has clearly prioritized recreating the original’s build quality; the 3D scan and attention to detail suggest a similar level of solidity, although long-term durability remains to be seen.
While it accepts a standard 9V DC block, it's designed primarily for battery operation, and using a power supply might slightly alter the nuanced tonal characteristics.
