Does the job
I got this pedal second hand but 'lightly used" when I started to explore wah. The workmanship is OK and it looks new, but the action on the pedal is very weak. It's the best sounding one I've tried though - that's a very subjective thing. It doesn't work well after certain pedals though I'm not certain why and haven't had it looked at. I may replace it with a multi effects unit and an expression pedal.
