Ok -- I heard aboutthis when Bjorn designed the VCF filter.
I have been a wah fan since my very first crybaby in 1974.
And, I also like autowah -- hate being tied to my pedalboard working my foot all the time, so I have always tried to like autowahs, but most of them sound thin, shrill, have bad tracking -- or they sound GOOD but are HUGE, like a mutron III or Lovetone Meatball.
Ease os use is a 6 -- because there are four kobs, they interact with each other, and you NEED to learn to use it. This is not a bad reflection upon the pedal -- but it IS more difficult to use than most pedals. RTFM!!!!

seriously, this is a TEN -- I heard Bjorn designed this circuit originally as a rack mounted wah circuit.
it is the fattest, funkiest, autofilter wah I have EVER heard, and it has a small footprint on your board.
You can dial in the decay as well as the bias point of the wah frequncy. You can make is SQWAWK or you can make it sweet. It can get REALLY FUNKY and totally get ***** on you.....which I consider a huge compliment for wah.
Once I heard a few demos of this, I knew I ha to have one IMMEDIATELY -- just check the youtube vid demos fo this pedal, and you can hear it for yourself.

I am 100% confident with the Mad Professor build quality. I have seen the pics of their clean manufacturing facilty, and have taken a close look inside my pedal -- it's very well built. i depend on it for gigs, and it went onto my pedalboard immediately, and has been reliable since, and I gig a lot.

All manuals for the products are on the Custom-sounds.com website, and Harri and Bjorn seem happy to respond to tech questions or issues.

This is my favorite sounding and feeling auto wah/filter EVER.
I have had quite a few, and for a budget autowah used to like the little purple guyatone - but it had a much thinner, more synthy sound.
THIS is the sound of a REALLY good wah pedal, but with auto control.
There's a difference.....just go listen to the demos and hear it for yourself!
