Amazing for die-hard Cliff Burton fans looking to recreate his.
I bought mine from The Trading Musician store down in Seattle. I am a huge fan of Cliff Burton and I am re creating his rig. This goes along with an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer, Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer, and sometimes some Delay (Working on getting an Ibanez HD1000/1500) in my signal chain. If you are trying to get really close to his tone, you will not be let down.

Best pedal
Probably one of the best wah pedals i've played on bass due to the boost and the easy customization.

In the early ’80s, I had the white Gibson Flying V, which is always my main guitar, and that would be going into a Morley Power Wah Boost and a Marshall – probably an early Master Volume JMP-1 from ’77. Lightning to the Nations is recorded with just that – it was all we had.
