Impressive and solid unit at a great price.

So I play a lot of worship most often as a contracted worship musician. Initially this pedal felt like it was going to beat out a lot of others that I've previously owned in terms of feel, sweep, durability and size. Used it live a few times and quickly realized it has a couple of flaws. The sweeps aren't nearly as smooth as other VP pedals I've tried, it sweeps really quick and it took me a little while to find that sweet spot. Additionally after three worship sets the pedal started to squeak like rust had built up suddenly on the pedal. I don't for the life of ne know what happened since when it's not in play the pedal sits in my home studio. Outside of those gripes the pedal does function just fine. It works, it's cheap and small. Maybe I'm the odd guy out but to me this pedal still needs a little more tlc to become Great.
