Wah-wah analog made in United States
Standard housing (VOX, Dunlop etc ...)
True bypass
Powered by 9V battery or adapter with a standard plug (BOSS, Ibanez, MXR ...)
Purple box with chrome pedals, 4 rubber pads, an unpretentious Wah What!

UTILIZATION

Configuration very simple (like all the wah effect is unique)
I have the new model (2007), electronic level there are no changes, the only change is the creation of a hatch for battery under the sole of the foot pedal (it is obliged to remove the 4 screws from the sole) so it's simple and it saves time.

Build quality very neat, well-pedal travel progressive (it does not accouts or catching like most new or wah must recover from the fat around before starting to use it)

Switch set properly at the end of pedal travel (not too hard, not too soft and will fire at the right time)

Clean finish.

SOUND QUALITY

I also have a VOX V847. BUDDA I bought because I thought that the VOX was eating a lot of signal and in particular serious and wanted an additional and more versatile pedal. Simply put, I would say that Budd is a VOX without the defects of VOX: The true bypass is playing its part perfectly, the bass are present, the treble too loud, the sound is very well balanced in all and the pedal is very vocal.

It works relatively well in distortion and is present in very clean sounds, with its soft tones and thick unlike the VOX that the lack of serious feels like a bump in the high mid / treble and a hole in the bass.

The sonnorité is rather "vintage" see "Funky" but still it can also seem modern.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week, I use two wah, Budd and VOX, have two pedals complementary.

The +:

- Foot well made
- Quality flawless finish
- Versatile
- Works as well as clean sounds that distortion, balance Audible low / mid / high
- Voice Sonnorité
- Presence
- Course fluid and progressive

The -:

- The Price: 169 Euros + 30 Dolard shipping costs 38 Euros + custom taxes (AC so my costs 180 euros) but no choice since sold only in the U.S.. However, the value for money is really good.
This choice I would do without hesitation, great product.
