I love this pedal, as a sound its extremely good for a beginner to diversify a bit. One issue with the sound quality , is that it thins out the leads of the higher end strings at points, to this end, I think a good compressor might come in handy, to control the volume. The knobs whilst sensitive provide a good range of Wah, but they're a little too small (given the size of the pedal, that was expected.) Can be hours of fun, and the build is quite solid and handy to carry. Its' not heavy at all. The only other issue is the fact that it uses a power supply rather than a battery. A physical battery would be helpful in this case , as the power supply's actually almost as big as the pedal, however this doesn't hinder any other features. Another good note about this pedal is the fact that it is a very versatile pedal, a lot of options on sound and combined with a good Amp, as I said it can be tons of fun, however for live playing, I'd say maybe avoid this pedal. Keep it for practice or just to jam. Nonetheless, as my first Wah Pedal, I love it and I don't regret Purchasing it. For 25 Euros, it offers much more value than ex pected. As usual Harley Benton did it again with these budget pedals. Keep- on Bringin em my way!!!
