Feature:
Real simple to use with the optical on-off. I haven't experienced the 'noise' issue others have in the ratings, but I did experience the pedal not switching off automatically when I removed my foot. I opened the case (from the bottom) like I had to do with my old Morley and pushed the optical 'eye' down just slightly and BAM, problem fixed. So...I don't know how long it'll hold up with gigging (I've found myself being a little more tender with it now when moving it around), but there are very few moving parts so it'll be an easy adjustment if something goes outta whack. The plastic casing is fine.
Quality:
I've had Crybaby's/Morley/and Ibanez and they've all had 'issues' of some sort, so the fact I had to minimally adjust the optical eye is not an issue to me. It's been fine ever since and sounds awesome.
Value:
Absolutely fantastic. It IS, for all intents-and-purposes, the Dimebag Wah (for $150) but for $29 (minus the metal dime-o-flage casing).
Desirability:
Well...I chose a nine because it looks like every other standard wah...nothing more special (or less).
Sound:
I absolutely love the sound of this pedal. I (like most of us) am very meticulous with my sound and this Hellbabe pedal really hit the mark. I'm able to use it quite comforably with Damageplan, BLS and Metallica-style covers. I also use the Ibanez Weeping Demon - a good pedal, but the Ibanez sucks a little tone (still good for less 'heavy' uses), whereas I don't have that same issue with the Hellbabe.
Support:
I haven't needed it...that's the best kind of support.
Overall:
If I totally break (or lose) this thing, I'll definitely replace it with another Behringer Hellbabe....definately.

Feature:
The boost and Q range for tonal quality is a plus for this pedal.
Quality:
Hard plastic that is sturdy. I have dropped several pedal by Behringer and haven't had any crack or stop working, so I imagine this will apply to this pedal as well. I don't have any backup pedals as these Behringer's seem tank worthy. Remember the old Fisher-Price toys that are made of plastic that your kids couldn't destroy. Well, these can be compared to those toys.
Value:
Best value for any wah pedal! With the boost and Q-settings make this even a better value than any wah pedal.
Desirability:
Excellent addition to my gear. Not sexy, but is a technical marvel. Haven't seen anything else out there like it.
Sound:
Does not suck tone. Very impressive wah sound with other features that make this pedal worth every penny. The boost is activated with the pedal slightly pressed forward, the wah is activated by pushing the pedal more forward. The range is very limited, but this can be overcome by modifying (voiding warranty) the board attached to the foot pedal inside the unit. This gives it a fuller useful range. The mod makes it a 10.
Ease of Use:
Same as any other wah pedal - press pedal and it is activated.
Support:
I had two of these pedals come in not working properly. Behringer and ZZounds are quick to answer and resolve the problem. I give both a ten(10), very rare these days.
Overall:
If stolen I would replace it, I notice that the price is going up.
