Below average Wah and Fuzz

The Fuzz is okay, not a lot of character. The wah, even though has a lot of knobs for tone control, really isn't that great. I prefer the Dunlop Bass Wah. The Fuzz and Wah together is terrible, just a muttled mess. It looks cool, but is style over substance. Tends to have some hiss. Bootsy is a legend, but he'll put his name on anything to make a buck. Last time I check, even Bootsy isn't using this on his board.

"I don’t normally use pedals, but I’ve been doing this sort of experimental/psychedelic project with Brian Kassan (who I played with in the band Chewy Marble). For that, I’ve been using the Bootzilla Snarling Dogs Bass Wah Wah, Boss Bass Overdrive, Digitech Digidelay and a Behringer Ultra Tremelo pedal."
