Feature:
there are different settings, dials, and overdrive

Quality:
very well made. heavy construction and strong material.

Value:
low price great quality

Desirability:
The pedal itself is a beginner, "must have" sort of thing. Great for beginers

Sound:
When the pedal is fully pressed down it gives more of a "rock" sound, sometimes i just play music with the pedal pushed down because the sound quality is better.

Ease of Use:
very easy to use. no trouble setting up or using

Support:
Shipping was extremely fast. i was fully satisfied with delivery.

Overall:
I belive this product will last years, and keep me rockin on and on

Feature:
I love the Q control the fine tuning(pretty much presence), and range. More features than any other wah i know. You can really fine tune your sound. There is also a boost, it does exactly that, boosts your sound. However, it is NOT an overdrive. It just boosts your sound a little bit like turning the master volume a quarter inch. can get muddy if all the way up.

Quality:
I just got the wah today. There where no loose parts. I was really surprised at the weight and sturdiness of it. It is metal.

Value:
Way cheaper than CryBaby or Vox. Also has great q control that i love. It is not a Crybaby or vox it is unique. And 30 bucks.

Desirability:
Sexy black and steel. Q control. i like it.

Sound:
When I first plugged the hb in i was a little dissapointed. But, after just turning a few of the REALLY useful knobs, (Q, range, fine tuning, boost) I got the sound i was really looking for. I have a Jackson dxmg with passive emgs, and a Crate GTD65. I play Metallica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden and this thing works well for solos. For $30, you can't beat it.

Ease of Use:
Pretty easy to use nice knobs for everything. wish the button for the boost was not on the side so you could actually use it live. I love the spring. I also love that you just have to put your foot on it.

Support:
Have never dealt with Behringer. ZZOUNDS IS AMAZING!!! They had it at my door in two days! i ordered ground shipping! Also great order tracking and support.

Overall:
I've been playing for 10 months more than half an hour 7 days a week. I love the price because i'm 13 and can't afford 100 for a wah. I love that i can play the Enter Sandman solo and have it sound good! If it was stolen I'd find the guy and beat him with the wah. if it were stolen i'd buy it again or wait and get the Pod xt live or vox tonelab because i've been wanting to get one of those

Feature:
Has a ton of options. Not sure they all work exactly as they are supposed to, but it has more options than many pedals on the market. I really like the default to straight guitar feature.

Quality:
Built well. Has some plastic that may not hold up well if gigging regularly, but due to the tone change I wouldn't even consider this as part of my stage rig.

Value:
$29.99, it's a great value. Perfect pedal for practice.

Desirability:
Nothing spectacular about it.

Sound:
Sound is where the pedal really lacks. First, it adds noise when in the up position (straight guitar). Next, even with straight guitar it changes the tone of the sound, adds a little too much treble. I've tried many settings and configurations and I just can't get it to leave my tone alone. The actual wah effect sounds good.

Ease of Use:
It's a wah pedal. Pretty easy to use.

Support:
I've never had to use Behringer support, but they do offer quite a bit online. Most of their products perform exactly as one would expect for the price being paid.

Overall:
I'll always use this pedal in my practice room at home. I won't ever put it on a stage. Seems to built well enough that I won't ever have to worry about it breaking. I've got other Behringer stuff and it holds up well.

Feature:
I found the fact that if you take off your foot, it basically defaults to straight guitar was not a good thing. In fact, I tried to adjust that factor outta the mix and just plain gave up on it. Sold it for less than I paid to get something else.

Quality:
built like a brick outhouse, but if you cannot count on it to work if your foot is off from it, why even worry if it was made outta paper mache?

Value:
My opinion of the pedal is this....buy something else..CRYBABY whatever.

Desirability:
Like kissing your sister.....butt ugly sister at that. EWWWWWWWW! no wait, I like that!not really just fooling.

Sound:
The boost of this pedal is very nice, could not get the blasted thing to work properly on wah setting, take off your foot, and the effect defaults to regular guitar sound......not good.

Ease of Use:
Maybe it was just me, but I wish I had just paid the extra money and bought a good old Cry baby, now there is a pedal that you can take your foot off, and lo and behold it will play for decades like mine, 30 yrs and still works like a champ, duct tape and all.

Support:
Here I gotta say that Behringer did do right by me when my GMX212 went belly up. Called em up, and they gave me a shipping number for ups and even shipped me a brand new one the next day. There I would say they went the extra mile. Maybe my pedal was defective. I guess I should have tried...I did not.....not their fault.

Overall:
I fiddled with it for over a yr and finally gave up.....I am not some brainiac, but I think the instructions are a might hard to cypher.....

Feature:
there are 3 diff. features in this wah that u can't find with others... 1. boost... u can set the main volume from the wah when ur using it 2. time delay... u can set time or i mean delays on turning it on/off in slower manner or in fastest way 3. range.... u can use it on BASS.... and u can make a very very hi pitch so that u can make ur guitar to cry easily 4. mechanism the spring....it has a spring mechanism which u can also adjust its tension...

Quality:
gud quality very eunique style

Value:
very affordable unlike demon wah, morley and cry baby pedal

Desirability:
i like all of its features

Sound:
yeah sounds gud cause i can use it on bass playing and many types of music... i can adjust also the delay of the wah.... i can make fading on the time when i turn on/off the wah.... i can make a very high pitched sound in a slow attacking mode eventhough i dont use s.attack

Ease of Use:
its very handy unlike other wah because it has 9v battery compartment and u can either use the adaptor if u want

Support:
yeah they are very friendly and honest especially the behringer people

Overall:
just buy it and im sure u will not reget

best thing is the spring back................variation of sound.. and its really friking cheap

Quality:
ahh its preety good.............but if u compare it to a crybaby you would just feel bad ......

price is the best ever

Desirability:
black is black u know but its like plastic with rubber all over it...........so that aint cool .............. looks great .....

Sound:
i would most probly gig with it ................but would not use it for recording ........best thing about this pedal is that u can change the sound/tone .......from muddy to clean babe kills it. another thing if u use a dis pedal its sound differers if u use it before oe after the pedal a lot .................so it depends ............sounds best with out any other pedal.just the babe and the amp .............

Feature:
It has a boost feature and you can change the ammount of wah you want. I find the springback feature on this pedal easier to use than the Crybaby style one, but thats just a matter of personal taste.

Quality:
It seems fairly rugged, however i would not be confident to stand on it. I think it'll last a few years but deffinately not for ever. But then it only cost £30.

Value:
Great value for £30. It will probably last a while and does the job just as well as a more expensive model would.

Desirability:
I'd rather have a crybaby but this is a great pedal for intermediate use.

Sound:
It sounds the same or better than all the other pedals i've tried. It has a knob that lets you change the ammount of wah which is useful.

Ease of Use:
Its a wah peadal. Not exactly complicated.

Support:
I dont know.

Overall:
Works very well for what it is, great value for money. It does everything I'd expect it to and when it breaks i'l buy another one.

Feature:
This product has a couple of features that let you adjust the amount of wah or the sound boost, and also some other stuff. You will really like the spring-back feature and the grip.

Quality:
It comes with a nice spring-back feature and sound boost controls. It also comes with other features that can control other aspects like the amount of wah in use. I am confident in it's durability in fact I would be fine with people jumping on it. It is built very well.

Value:
With the low price and great sound this is a must buy. Do not go and buy a wah pedal for over $100. I wouldn't even buy one over $50 because this sounds exactly the same.

Desirability:
This is a just a simple wah pedal. There is nothing really special about it other than it's great price and sound.

Sound:
This is the same sound you get out of any other wah pedal. It sounds great for rock music, jazz music, country music, or whatever else you may play. The settings can be slightly adjusted to change the boost of sound when using wah or the amount of wah. It sounds great on guitar, and you can play it on bass, but I would recommend a wah pedal made specificully for bass.

Ease of Use:
There is a learnig curve in using this product, but there is going to be a learning curve using all wah pedals. Once you get used to it it will be easy to use, with great playability. If you are playing an uncommon style of music it may be hard to get your specific sound you desire and you will have to rely on your amp.

Support:
I have never dealt with this company.

Overall:
I am confident that this will be the only wah pedal I will ever buy, until I break this one. Has great features and sound. If this pedal ever breaks, or something, I will get the exact same one due to the great price and sound. It gives me the exact sound I want.

Feature:
Many options, but not very usefull

Quality:
Not very happy, because it's made of plastic and top part of pedal is shaking and I'm afraid it will broke :|

Value:
Product worth its price ! I'm happy about ths pice, because I wanted to try out the Wahs and it had the best price of them all

Sound:
it's quiet normal, but sometimes it starts to crack or something like that

Ease of Use:
Quiet easy

Support:
it's normal

Overall:
It's not the best wah and it is not very resistance, but if you don't have much money and want to try out the wahs, then it's the best deal !

Feature:
it has a boost button w/ sum volume tone knob like things.it has a range knob which it plays with the tone.

Quality:
evn tho its plastic its vry durable.i would rely on it wit my life it is so good..it would be perfect for any gig

Value:
best wah for the price.it is just like dunlops dimebag crybaby.for evry1 with a small budget an want a wah get this1

Desirability:
it is perfect for classic rock,metal,u name it.its perfect

Sound:
the sound is perfect.the only thing is the click sound it makes wen u it powers on an off.it sounds awesome on amps 20 watts or higher.it can be used for bass but it doesnt sound that good

Feature:
Worst feature unfortunately is its low power comsumption,when plugged into a normal power supply,around 800ma,it clips badly losing much of its dynamic sound range(which really is quite good).I'd like to see it with own power supply built in,right now,(I use wall warts).Dont think it actually needed all that gain,but its handy,I guess.

Quality:
Seems solidly built,but I'm not that abusive with musical instraments,after thirty some years playing with minimal monies coming in a person learns to take care of things.

Value:
Kiler diller!

Desirability:
Well designed,well built,very responsive too my desires.Sh goes well with other mind candy,very compatible type,a nice personality that goes well its other traits.

Sound:
I dont know how I lived without it,even playin with myself its better than sex.

Ease of Use:
Just plug it in and get your ROCKS OFF!

Support:
Not yet.

Overall:
A while.It stands on its own merits.Wanted similar for quite some time but purchased things for other instraments,flute,and am now plenty glad that I found this one and think I would seek out another identical to it.
