I liked it but I've never been overly impressed with it.

I'm with you on that. I don't play on it much anymore, but I used to think the range was too high--not enough sweep down low and a little too much scream up top. VOX is the other big name, but I haven't played one.

Tell ya what I don't like is that Steve Vai crazy horse or whatever wah. It's activated by stepping on a button on the side of the pedal, then you have to get your foot on the actual pedal to use it. It's nearly impossible to time those two steps correctly on a beat. Also, the pedal itself is spring loaded to always stand up tall, so you really only need to depress it down. It feels terrible. The whole thing is shite.

Yeah, it's just so.....blah.

I have no idea how to describe it. The low end just gets muddy and farts out. Doesn't do much for me.

The only one I have used, so I guess I don't know any better, lol.

Bold part is not true though. It does have a contour wah button, but it works as more of an over drive feature. Don't have to use it.
