Sound: Out of this world Feature: Instruction Manual Easy to use Quality: Very well built, this machine is bullet proof. Value: Well is not cheap, but is really a good buy. Manufacturer Support: So far so good The Wow Factor: I had to wait 7 years to buy one, cause in Europe is kind of hard to find one, I Bought mine in London, and it looks amazing in my pedal board, I think I'm the only one who as one in a 100 Km raid, Eh! Eh! Eh! Overall: I will never sell it, I bought just for my self (the guys in my band don't let me use it as much as I wanted to), I like a lot, bands like Parliament, Funkadelic, P-Funk and all the late 60's and 70's Funk, so I'll never replace it.

"Great tone from the starship Enterprise bridge to your pedalboard." submitted March 3, 2010

Sound: Great tone for both vintage wah fans and for those looking to experiment. Excellent, vowel-like wahs, screaming highs, feedback-provoking lows, it's all here! Feature: This product has enough features and controls to allow you to tailor your own perfect tone, while still keeping it simple. It will take some experimentation, but your favorite wah sound is in there. And the expressiveness is the best - use a really clean picking technique and each note will have a percussive wah sound, even with super fast runs, or else run the notes together more, and the filter will stay open as if you were keeping the toe down on a conventional wah pedal. Ease of Use: There are only a few controls here, it's not too complicated, but it does everything you need. Quality: It's built like a tank. Value: This costs not much more than those boutique quality conventional wahs or the competition's auto wahs, and it sounds and plays at least as good as any of them. Manufacturer Support: Don't know yet. The Wow Factor: It was good enough for Stevie Wonder on "Innervisions", Bootsy helped make it famous (or vice versa), etc, etc, what more do you need. It's one of the sexiest pedals ever made. I like the retro look - it really looks like something you'd see on the bridge of the original starship Enterprise. It also reminds me of the old Minimoog, with those rocker switches and primary colors. Overall: I think this will take care of my wah needs for quite some time to come.

Overall: Using circuitry that was tried and discarded by the inventor of the REAL Musitronics Mu-Tron III, this un-authorized "re-issue" has copied the outside design, unethically obtained the trademark, and mis-represented that musicians like Stevie Wonder and Bootsie Collins used this product to make their original famous hits. This product did not exist! when that music was made.So, combining deception upon deception, this fraudulently marketed product will have younger musicians convinced that is is the real thing. It is not, and it should be clearly stated that it is NOT NOT NOT the original product! It is a PHONY and it does NOT sound as good as the original by any means.

Overall: I'm a big fan of 311 guitarist Tim Mahoney and he uses a original vintage Mu-Tron on songs like; Beyond The Grey Sky, Amber, Champaign and many more. I was worried the reissue wouldn't achieve his results. Well, it nails it and I love this pedal. I also use my MXR DC Brick's 18v outlet and it works great, quiet too. Its built like a tank and zZounds's pay as you play makes it that much easier. If you're not familiar with this pedal or what i can achieve, then look up the song by 311 "Beyond The Grey Sky" and listen to the Mu-Tron in all its glory and thank me later.

Back to Product Information
Sound: The best for that Bootzilla, underwater, ultra-wet, funk tone. I always refer to it as the 'Boot-tron'. It is just super smooth and quiet. Feature: It would be cool for other users (Bootsy) to include their settings, for the effect, in the product literature. Quality: It's sturdy. It's made of heavy sheet metal. What more do you need? Value: The price is certainly competitive compared to similar products. You get what you pay for. Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: I have used many effects over the years. I have done away with all of them, with the exception of the Mutron III, Big Muff Pi, and Bass Micro-synth. Overall: I have owned it for years. I doubt I will be getting rid of it any time soon.

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!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
