Ease of Use : 7
Pretty easy to use. However, there is a little red button on the side of the unit to turn on the Fuzz. As previously stated this could be a problem for live performances. It's just too damn small. I might make a switch for it.

2 Strats (One with Texas Specials and the other with a SeyDuncan and a Dimarzio Fast Track 2) with a Z00M 1010 Precessor going into a Marshall Valvestate 102R. It's sounds pretty good and the fuz is great. Both effects combined also sound real good. Try it before you buy it.

Reliability : 10
I think it is very reliable. It's built like a tank

Customer Support : 1
I give it a 1 cuz from what from what I hear from other people they need to get their act straight.

Overall Rating : No Opinion
I like it, I wanted a Wah and the Fuzz was like a bonus. I have been goofing around with the guitar for about 7 years and I think this is staple. Try it before you buy it.

Pretty simple to use. My only complaint is that to turn on the fuzz you have to press a little small red button on the side of the pedal (Not recomedable trying to do this with your foot in a performance).

Sound Quality : 7
The distortion is pretty much your average fuzz pedal. Nothing too fancy. The Wah is pretty good but the range could be better.

Reliability : 10
It's lasted me 2 years so far.

Bought over internet.

If your are after a true wah sound, get a cry baby instead.

This pedal is pretty simple to use, just set the fuzz volume on the bottom of the pedal, and play away. Then activate the fuzz by clicking in the button on the right side. You can also set the fuzz intensity on the side of the pedal. The wah pedal is a little difficult to push in at first.

Sound Quality : 7
I play this through a Fender 112 Deluxe, and it sounds good. The wah sounds like it bottoms out sometimes, and there is a harsh picking sound if you rock it in the right timing with your strumming when the fuzz is on. I wish the wah sound was a little wider tonaly (if thats a word).

Reliability : 5
My pedal is currently broken. The wah has stopped working every now and then when you rock the pedal. It sounds like someone is turning it on and off while I am playing. It worked fine for exactly a year.

Customer Support : No Opinion
I am in the process of dealing with the company about fixing it.

Overall Rating : 6
If I had a choice to buy this again or not, I wouldn't. I would buy the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz and the Crybaby Q535. I think that would give me more of a true Jimi Hendrix warm fuzz than this pedal and a wider wah range.

I love this pedal, yet I have several complaints in this area. One, the fuzz volume is on the bottom of the pedal. What were they thinking when they put it there? Two the button for the fuzz faces out on the side of the pedal. It takes some getting used to until you can turn it on reliably.

Sound Quality : 9
The wah wah pedal itself is unbeatable. Really great for that classic sixties and seventies sound. The range of the pedal is huge. It opens to a ridiculously fat sound. The fuzz leaves more to be desired, I think you need to get an origional Dallas Arbiter if you want that true tone. The fuzz is pretty nice and bluesy from about 0-3/8. For a true Hendrix tone try 1/2-6/8. Above that it's just a bunch of noise. The fuzz itself is very brittle. Not as warm as Hendrix.

Reliability : 10
Definately a dependable pedal. Very sturdy construction. No problems here. I think all Dunlop products are made very well.

Customer Support : 9
Mine was actually broken out of the box. The company was a little slow replacing it, it had to be sent to Chicago, it took two weeks. However, there were no questions asked and I got a brand new pedal?no charge.

Overall Rating : 10
I really love this pedal. If you're a Hendrix fan, buy it. It might be hard to turn on the fuzz, but just kick it in the side and it will work. I would definately buy it again, even for just the wah. I'm going to try modifing the fuzz, that might help. However it's really not that bad. One last note: If you're a Beatles fan, the fuzz on 1/2 and a little compression captures the later Harrison and Lennon sound PERFECTLY. I'd recommmend this to anybody who actually took the time to come and read this posting. You're obviously interestead, so buy it.

it takes some time figuring out, there is a setting for fuzz-wah and wah-fuzz, i prefer the second, and why is the fuzz volume on the BOTTOM ? and they two sideways buttons are harder to use then stomp buttons, this is especially irritating when i try to activate the fuzz, and but it is possible to adjust the fuzz intensity while playing, best played in stocking feet.it takes some dialing in before you can find appropriate settings.

Sound Quality : 8
the wah sound is great and i can get really intese high piched squeals, like any wah the volume drops some when it is activated, i'd like a bit more wah range, i think my plain cry baby had more range, the fuzz sound is weak, and too bassy, there should be a fuzz tone control, it is s'posed to have the dallas arbiter fuzz face guts. it sounds too fuzzy and not at all like jimi hendrix's fuzz tone, but i like it in conjunction with another distortion unit which i place AFTER the unit. i like to turn on my flanger, the wah and the fuzz and send it through my distortion for over an over the top solo sound

Reliability : 10
totally reliable, though on some crybaby's the ac input which is soldered to the board can come loose with use, but it is easily mended

Overall Rating : No Opinion
I think i may have paid too much for it but i needed a wah
