fond memories

I have an earlier version with red lettering... it was the first effect I ever used. We had to do a song with wah wah guitar in jazz band when Iw as in jr high and this guy Jay who played electric bass lent me his wah/distortion. The distortion helped with the cheesy jazz fusion solo theyw anted me to do In the middle.The guy didn't ask for it abck for a while and I got realy attached to this thing. Its like an optical wah and volume with an mxr distortion+ after it. I eventually gave it abck. I bought an identical one when I was older but it never made me smile like that original one did in the 90s. Its got a sound though. Good to have around.
