Sound: The chorus/vibe sound is sucky, litterally, it sucks your tone and there is noticeable volume drop like those crappy EHX Nano Clone. The only reason I liked it was due to the fuzz side. It had good bite to to a good crunch like a Big Muff but the Chorus sucks the tone. Feature: Three pedals(Vibe,Chorus,Fuzz) in one is basically great but way to much money for a tone sucker and a fuzz. The expression side is good but for the money it should come with a expression pedal too. Ease of Use: Just press the switch and adjust the knobs. Quality: It is made well but the one I order here was somewhat faulty as the SHAPE knob was popping out and could easily be moved around by accident with your foot trying to engage the fuzz switch due it the Shape Knob missing a nut and its funny because I returned it and I bought another one from Nova Musik and it wasn't missing a nut from the Shape knob but the serial number was just one more than the previous pedal and I dont know how just a small thing can slip away. Besides that issue the case looked strong but not enough to make me keep it. Value: The pedal is ehh, if you like the idea of 2 pedals in one because maybe these 2 pedal are the one you need but I think I will stick to my Boss Fz-3, Big Muff and my Boss CE-2. Much more bang for the buck and no sucking on tone. Manufacturer Support: I emailed DVK via there website, it took a day or two to get a respond but Brian was friendly and responded fast enough afterward about the SHAPE issue and helped out by offering me to send it back to there local USA retailer but then later asked me to send it to Australia. It didn't phase me as I just sent it back to zzounds and got my money back but the 2nd pedal from Nova Musik also featured the tone sucking chorus side. So I returned it as well and Nova Musik sucks as they have a 15% restocking fee and charged me the initial shipping fee and I wasted 9.00 sending it back to them too. The Wow Factor: The logo cover looks cool but mine looked like it could be peeled off and the red eye rabbit that blinks when you adjust the rate was cool, the small size of the pedal but looks don't mean much. Overall: I had to send it back twice, this pedal sucks. I do not need a crappy pedal to make my sound rock.

Overall: Okay so the quality of the fuzz sound was good, however the pedal itself is just plain noisy. I was getting interference through my amp whenever the fuzz was enaged, indicating that the pedal was not grounded well at all! (better have a noise gate for this one) Also, whenever I would flip the fuzz switch on I would hear a popping sound through my amp, indicating that either my impedance was off (which it isn't), faulty switch, or a possible transistor is malfunctioning. I hadnt noticed this on the vibe switch. And the blinking eye of the hare just got irritating after awhile. Overall, too many negatives on an expensive, boutique quality pedal. This one is being sent back. I'll stick with a fuzz face.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
