Ease of Use

Simple to set up like most wahs, input output, on/off switch at toe, 9v battery/adaptor. However with a very small sweep it doesnt really make much of a wah sound. it doesnt sound like theres a wah wah pedal, it sounds like theres something going wrong. only works withvery specific amp settings

works best with strats but still doesnt have much use. it doesnt mix with any effects or even distortion very well at all. i love my carlsbro combo amp, you'd think its a valve model. this is the reason i tried the carlsbro wah, but im disapointed.

i wouldnt consider using it in a gig. i wont even play it in front of people normally its poor. the on/off switch broke the day i bought it and has always been hard to switch on or off, even before i replaced the footswitch. it is VERY noisy as you move it. its mainly dust getting into the pedal but even after a thourough clean it will happen again after an hour.

Simple plug in and play pedal. The only bad thing is the switch. It's a bit feeble, and sometimes you really have to stamp on it to get it to switch on. Also, there's no LED, so you're never certain whether it's on or off.

Using this with my Line 6 POD. Tried it before the POD and after the POD. Either way it is poor. It doesn't have alot of sweep. Not much range. Apart from the lack of range it's ok. It's not scratchy.

Because I don't like it, I've never really used it, so can't comment much on reliability. The pot driving rack is plastic, so make your own mind up!

I play mostly metal, some blues. This pedal is not really up to that. It's better with clean sounds.
Been playing for 12 years, using Marshalls/fenders etc. Now using Line 6 POD for practicing.
I would NEVER buy one of these again. Simply not good enough. You'd be better off buying a genuine crybaby or any Morley wah pedal. They're worth the extra money!

Vintage style wah pedal.With on off switch.The sound does not have such a wide sweep as a jim dunlop cry baby.But does have a very smooth sound all the same.....with little noise.Heavy unit looks very good in chrome.

Now this is where the unit will let you down.The on/off switch is simply not up to the job and will jam on you!Plus i suspect that the lug on the underside of the pedal that actuates the switch does not come down squarely and causes the switch to foul up.....a design issue i think.Have already tried 2 with no luck.It let me down while playing live.

Dont buy it.Look for other options.A real shame as the unit could be made good......just because of a simple design fault
