Ease of Use: Very easy to use pedal! Just step on it, push to click it and turn the effect on and rock on! It's a straightforward pedal, pushing it down makes higher frequencies higher, and pushing it down, makes lower frequencies higher, it's like shaping a parametric EQ, if you ever saw one, like if you were passing a sea wave through it. The manual doesn't add anything you already knew, it's not difficult to imagine what to do with this come on! Mine is brand new, with no upgrades, just plain GCB95 made in USA. // 9

Sound: I'm using this directly from either my Fender Stratocaster MIM, or my Epiphone SG G400 Faded, to Ibanez TS9, Proco RAT2, with Boss FL-3, DD-7, CH-1 on the effects loop of my Blackstar HT-5RH. Also use it with the tubescreamer only to my Vox AC4TV combo amp.

Sounds amazing through both of them. Just sometimes has that f***ng radio noise because of freq filtering and my apartment openings catching those radio stations, but it is well known that this can happen and if you want, just upgrade it to call it off. You can get instantly sounds of every Classic Wah sound you heard of, millions of artists use it. Would've liked the radio problem being fixed from the beginning, but at least they tell you. // 7

Reliability & Durability: I'd depend on it 100 percent. It's heavy as a rock solid where you look it not a single sign of flaws. I'd use it on a gig without a backup for sure, don't see it breaking anytime. It's all metal built, good jacks, battery functioning if you like to, although I always recommend using some sort of power unit. You never know how long your batteries will last, and it's a pain in the ass changing them, especially if you're live, don't know what I'd do in such a case, people would start throwing their shoes at me if my Wah dies for battery dying. // 10

Impression: I play mainly Heavy blues, and metal, through some classic rock. It's great for any of those styles. Tried some funk, kick a-s Wah! I've been playing for around 13 years now and this is an essential part of my rig. I own 535Q too, and lots of stompboxes too. If it were stolen I'd chase to death the one who stole it and take it back, or just buy a new one. It's not that expensive. I love everything about it, its a straightforward must have. Compared it to the 535Q, and I think this is easier, just get this, and then see if you want more. Then think about any other Wah. // 9

This was the first wah I ever bought and it sounds amazing I also have the DB-01 and I set that to sound like this wah for my own national anthem. This is a great wah it will never get old and is built like a tank, i'm 240 and can stand all the way on it. great wah if you alreay have a good wah like db-01 or 535Q get this wah to its cheap and great.

at first i liked it, it was cheap and easy to use but not even a week after i got it the ****ing thing broke i was so pist

and its not like i abused it, i only used it for two hours and it stoped making noise i checked the battery and even plugged it into a wall but the damn thing wouldn't work, i don't advise anyone buying it, spend a lil more and get one that has more to it. this is so basic i wish i could control more of it. acuttually i just wish the damn thing would work lol

This is a really good standard wah pedal. But the only thing is that if you press it all the way the frequencies get to high and it makes a high pitch noise. But just milking it makes some good smooth wahs, overall its a good pedal. I got my moneys worth!
