i would say the value is great for the range you get. many types of wah sounds and distortion. a great value.

Desirability:
very nice!..smooth and fluid movement of the pedal makes it superb

Sound:
the sound is great! so many to choose from...wow!!

Support:
i had no previous problems with boss products...don't know..which is good..

Overall:

Boss PW-10 V-Wah Pedal Customer Review

Overall:

Feature:
For the price, they should include an AC adapter.

Desirability:
Should appeal to gearheads. Lovers of classic Vox and Crybaby sounds may be interested but will swear by their analog standbys.

Sound:
All of the sounds are great - excellent no-noise simulations of popular wahs with customizable Q and memory. The novel Voice and Filter are unique and interesting

Overall:
There are two major design flaws - 1. when the overdrive is engaged, there is no hard bypass. Even if you switch off the wah function, there is a gain boost, and thus far, I have not been able to find a way to bypass it if it is on.. Therefore, you have to commit to drive on your memory settings, even if the wah is off. This is not an insurmountable problem - you can put the whole thing on standby, which does bypass everything, but if you activate it at all by touching the pedal, the drive will kick in. If there was a hard bypass for the pre-amp/ gain function, you could preset a sound with gain and wah, kick it in for your solo or whatever, and then turn it off to return to your clean sound, a function I would like to see in the next version of this pedal. 2. There is a millisecond gap when you turn the wah on or off. If you aren't playing, you don't hear it, but if you want a smooth segue, forget it. It still sounds great, and if you are using amp or pedal distortion, you should be OK with this machine.

Quality:
Twice the pedal has loosened so the foot part just drooped down...and I simply fixed that with an allen wrench. One important drawback!!!: If you do NOT have one of the overdrive settings on, the volume of my guitar signal goes momentarily to zilch when I foot press the wah on or off!! This is bad, but it does not happen when I have the overdrive engaged, if even just a little bit.

Desirability:
The variety of tones is great. The Univibe setting is amazing.

Sound:
Excellent sound quality and variety.

Support:
N/A

Feature:
The only thing missing is an on-off switch that would let you bypass the pedal completely such as found on the Vox Wah, and preferably also shut off the battery or a/c power to the pedal when it is in the bypass mode. The lack of an on/off/bypass switch is an irritating inconvenience to the user and a foolish oversight on the part of Boss, especially if you forget to unplug your guitar cable from the pedal when you are finished playing. Failure to unplug leaves the pedal on and depletes the batteries. Irritating as this oversight is, it is not a fatal flaw, however.

Quality:
Seems very robust and solid and should last a long time, especially due to the infrared sensor which I believe replaces the mechanical device which links the pedal to the pot (rheostat) which controls the wah effect. Nothing to wear out. Also, the pedal appears to be noiseless and devoid of the soft scratchy static embedded in the signal to the guitar amp so often heard with other pedals when they are moved up and dow--especially as they age and the pot gets worn or corroded. For the price, I'd much rather own this product than any of the various wah pedals it emulates.

Value:
A very good value. I think the typical asking price of about $135 US from discount houses is fair for what you get, especially when compared to the prices of competitive pedals, but you can do better than $135 if you look around, as I did.

Desirability:
If you need a wah pedal, this is the only way to go when you compare this wah pedal and all it can do and emulate versus other wah pedals regardless of their brand or pedigree.

Sound:
Great sound. I also have a Vox wah pedal(which I now intennd to sell) and I can't tell the difference between it and the Boss pedal in Vox mode.

Support:
Have not had to contact Boss so far...and I don't anticipate having to do so.

Overall:
I don't expect to replace it any time soon.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
As what I say.. it has many features, like the distortion etc. but not all of them is great. It is first of its kind wah pedal where you can program or store up to 3 different settings.

Quality:
It is a BOSS quality is on the top compare to other brands

Value:
Boss usually are expensive pedals but they are worth for the price, but not this one.

Desirability:
Actually the product doest have a sex appeal the shape is weird like 30th Century pedal for the future and its bulky. Dunlop pedals is more sexy than this.

Sound:
This product is simply need an upgrade. Talking about a true-bypass, this one alter the sound in my whole set-up when you dont put it custom mode and turn the Drive Knob down. It is really a big issue for me. It has great features but none of them is really usefull. The distortion which is the Drive Knob doesnt create any fuzz wah but a muddy sound. I'm fan of Boss Pedals because of its quality and great sound. I have quite few of them, but this one really put me down.

Support:
If I have a time maybe I will contact them regarding this issue, I've never contact Boss so far regarding a product support. Maybe this one I will.

Overall:
Some say it is the best sounding wah.. but the bypass problem is really a big concerned against this pedal. It is not really the perfect wah pedal for me.

Feature:
This comes with batteries, you have to buy an adapter.

Quality:
Another rare one for the boss line up is the connection through the input is not secure very strong. I have had mine in the shop twice to get the adapter connection working again. Otherwise this thing is built like a tank and will last for years to come!

Value:
Like most boss products you get a lot of bang for the buck. Definitely worth the price

Desirability:
Of all of the wahs I have played, i would not want another

Sound:
Generally better than the plethora of pedals that are out there. Problems with the sound can occur if you bump the drive dial when packing/unpacking the pedal. This is a common occurance with me. Once you have figured that out, you can get that clean wah sound you like. Some of the settings sound a lot a like though. U-Vibe mode one of the best univibe emulators that I have heard

Support:
I have had some positive reactions from the support staff at roland.boss
