Ease of Use

Is there anything easier? Push down with your toes to activate. Rock the pedal. Push down again to shut off. You need a sense of rhythm to use it well, but if you don't have that, what are you doing playing music?

Wow. I'm the first one to review this pedal? It doesn't seem possible. I got it for Xmas last year, so I've been using it for 11 months.
I'm using it with 3 different amps (Fender and Peavey tube amps and a solid state Fender) 5 different guitars (Epi SG, no-name LP copy, Fender Strat, Ibanez RG220, and a BC Rich Warlock). It sounds good with all of them.
To me, it sounds almost identical to a Dunlop Crybaby. It may not be as smooth and vocal as a vintage pedal or boutique wah. But it's as good as any standard wah on the market.

It's as solid as any wah I've used. I'm a big guy (250 lbs.) and it's held up for almost a year now. I have no worries about it.

I've used a lot of wahs over the years - Crybabys, Morleys, a Fender Fuzz-wah, a Maestro Boomerang, a DOD, a Danowah, and a Behringer. The Boomerang is still my all-time favorite. It sounded slightly smoother and also doubled as a volume pedal. But the Classic wah is tied with the Dunlop Crybaby as my second favorite.
