Decent home cooking Wah
This wah pedal tonewise is like home cooking, nothing too fancy but nothing too unexpected either. The plastic enclosure is nothing I'd worry about, it seems sturdy and durable. The activation switch is a bit stiff, which may get better with age, otherwise some WD-40 could help. The range of the effect could be a bit bigger, but you can get some funky tones out of it as well as some Kirk Hammet soloing stuff.
