Tube Pedal. It has Level, Decay and Threshold knobs. It also has a switch with two positions to select wah type. Pretty standard evelope filter, not hard to figure out.
Sound Quality
:

I use a semi-hollow body through the funky box, then through an OD-3 and some other pedals sometimes, then through some rack processors, with a Lab Series L5, 100W 2x12's. I really like the sounds i get out off it. I prefer the 1 postion for the wah selector, haven't played much with 2. It has a very warm sound and you can really control the decay. I plugged it in with just my guitar and my clean channel and thought it sounded great. I would give it a 10 for wah 1.

it's fairly sturdy, but i wouldn't toss it around, or jump up and down on it.

Overall Rating

I have played with wah pedals for a few years, but never really got the sound i wanted. Bought a DOD envelope filter a year or two ago, but i thought it sucked. For sound quality this is about 10 times better. Perfect if you can't afford the Mutron, but need a better sound than the cheaper pedals can give you. After playing with it for a few weeks, i would have paid alot more for it. I believe it's what Warren Haynes uses in Phil & Friends.
