Ease of Use
:
10
This is a custom pedal Greg did for me. It seems simple to me, of course, it was my idea in the first place.
Sound Quality
:

I did not want any sound coloration or volume change from this pedal. It is a combo splitter mixer that lets me control the depth of any external effect by mixing in a controled level of the "clean" guitar signal.
It delievered exactly what I wanted.
Reliability

I've only had it for a few weeks but it feels rock solid. I use a power supply 99% of the time so I'm not too worried about the battery, but when I first got it 2 things did surprise me:
-you have to take off the back panel with 4 screws to replace the battery - not suited to quick replacement in low light conditions
-the battery was not secured in a clip so it kind of rattled around inside
Like I said, this not an issue for me since I don't use a battery, but it would concern me if I did.

I saw Greg's add in a local website advertizing some of his home made "clone" pedals and some simple a/b loop switchers. I emailed him with my idea of a custom pedal that would be a combination mixer/splitter.
He was very responsive in all correspondance including keeping me up to date on progress.
The final result was a little different than I had specified, but that was just as much my fault as Greg's for making some assumptions. He was quite willing to work with me on fixing things to my orriginal spec, but in the end I found I liked his idea better and kept it "as delivered"
I would be happy to do business with him again.
