Yep I'm a gearslut and still looking for prey.
This is imao the lushest sounding wah (ignore the 10, it should be 11!), i compared it with a Dunlop Cry Baby and a Vox, but these were blown away in sweeeeeetness.
A lot of lower mids that warms any blues and soulsound up to boiling point (Think SHAFT!!).
The others are somewhat more hi-mid tending, thus some harsher.
But there is a nice A-B one on Youtube

Reliability : 10
Please people, it's handmade British from the 70's.
No crackly potmeter, and all original parts are still in it.

Now it can do a senior's job in a mixing studio

Customer Support : No Opinion
There is a company called Macaris Musical Instruments of London that does the business in Colorsound, but i had no contact with them, so for this one i can't rate.

Overall Rating : 10
Specially for Soul and Blues this one is very nice, but due to it's wide throw you can tune in on the frequency range you want to handle, so it also does the trick in Metal and Rock.

A (blue) wah and volume (swell) pedal. Very easy to use. I believe it's from the 70s. The chrome is bit rusty.

Sound Quality : 10
I like the sound very much. Vintage and warm sounding. I use it clean, or after my distortion. Funky, Shaft-like as well as Hendrix-like sounds are all possible.

Reliability : 10
It seems very reliable. Must be over 30 years old and still going strong...

Customer Support : No Opinion

Overall Rating : 10
