Feature:
This is the swiss army wah of the crybaby lineup. It has a sweep range selector, Q dial, and volume boost switch and control knob. The Ibanez Weeping Demon has a few other features, but lacks the Fasel inductor, which this wah has.

Quality:
I have gigged this pedal for three years, and it hasn't failed me yet.

Value:
It's got bells and whistles, so you pay for what you get.

Sound:
Just the classic wah sound. The plus to this particular model is all the cool knobs. The sweep range selector is just right so you get a good selection of sweep sensitivity. The Q dial is nice, but I keep it at the 12 o'clock position. The boost switch and dial are good for solos, but I personally don't use it because it adds a hiss if it's turned up too much. Overall it sounds great anyway.

Ease of Use:
Understanding the controls could be a little challenging to inexperienced wah owners, but once you figure it out, it works like any other pedal. Stomp and go.

Overall:
I think you could get away with a Crybaby Classic and be just fine, but if you absolutely HAVE to have the cool knobs, then here you go.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
The ability to change the "Q" and the range of frequencies is very useful for a variety of sounds.

Quality:
This is a ruggedly built unit.

Value:
While this is a well built wah that sounds really good, there is one big problem. This unit does not use a true bypass, it's a hardwired bypass that produces a pop almost every time the effect is engaged. Support acknowleged this is the case. If you are a professional, you will find that it may not the kind of wah that you will want to use live because of this popping. While in the studio I've found that its useful since I can punch in while its already engaged. One thing I can say is that it doesn't affect the signal when in bypass (which is a good thing)

Sound:
The sound is high quality.

Support:
I called the company and was reasonably able to reach a support tech.

The new models have the "Q" and "Boost" controls on the side, where they should have been all along, and the new ones also run on 9 volts instead of 18. I swear they even sound better! You can't beat these pedals - True Bypass, Infinite settings & sounds - Forget the pricey "Boutique" wah pedals - This is all you'll ever want or need.

Feature:
With all the tweaking knobs on this thing you can do just about anything with it.....theres a range selector, boost switch and other stuff on it too....id have to say its the most versatile wah on the market and my model in particular has a fasel indicator so everytime I step on the thing it just blows me away

Sound:
You can get this thing to have lush wah tone or you can make it wail....your choice.....it sounds amazing

Feature:
It has several settings that I haven't messed around with yet. But from what I can tell, it has a lot of cool stuff.

Quality:
From what I can tell, it feels really durable, and it sounds good, I don't see anything that I could comment badly about this.

Value:
This is a good pedal, I don't know a lot about pedals and prices, but I think that it has a good price for what it's worth (I bought it for $130)

Desirability:
It's very basic, but nowhere near an eyesore. It's simple in design, nothing fancy about it, just a pedal.

Sound:
I've been wanting a wah pedal for a while, I just got this one today, but from playing around with it I already know that it's amazing. The pedals sound is really good (I can't be very sure because I have a very basic Squier guitar and Fender amp) But it sounds great even with my not-so-great guitar.

Ease of Use:
I am an intermediate guitarist (maybe 6-7 months of playing) and I don't know a lot. But I took this out of this box, plugged it in, and was makin all kinds of cool sounds instantly. I would recommend this to everyone, even beginners. It's just so easy to have fun with.

Overall:
I can't see myself replacing this with another wah pedal anytime soon. I'm very satisfied with it.

Feature:
Well when I first got it, I figured I would be lost with the knob settings, but luckily it came with a book telling which knobs can make sounds of pro's settings. But I found a good setting myself. Although sometimes if you run it on battery and push down to fast it will cut out, even with a brand new battery. and it does squeak a little unless you put DW-40 in it and let it sit for a few hours.

Quality:
100% well made, no questions asked.

Value:
$129.99 isn't bad if your a pro who knows their sounds.

Desirability:
BUY this wah, don't get to original crybaby unless you aren't much of a wah user.

Sound:
This wah can go from Joe Satriani wah sound to Jimi Hendrix wah, great. Personally I have my wahs knob set 4 click away from me so its like 12 o'clock. and my Volume all the way up, boost pushed in an the Q is almost full, just to where it doesn't hiss.

Ease of Use:
A little hard to get used to at first. But Click and play is great.

Support:
I've never had to call them. Came close but didnt.

Overall:
Sleek look, but can be a little confusing.
