Bought on-line £49

See below

1. The effect sucks tone [how often do we hear that!]I lost a good deal of treble from my strat using this. With all the knobs set at 12.00 there is little change in the guitar tone - except that it gets muddier!
2. The tremolo effect is poor - not as good as the dano tuna melt even!
3. The phase/vibrato effects are very weak and get completely lost at distorted or high gain levels - compare this to an MXR phase 90 at high gain and you'll see the difference
4. The doppler effect - similar to a uni-vibe or chorus set at a high speed setting is similarly lacking in clarity and punch - especially at distorted settings - no Robin Trower here!

Knobs a bit wobbly - I'm not sure the pots have metal spindles.
On off pedal a bit vague too
Nice colour, and battery compartment in an interesting place.

I bought this in my search for tremolo/vibrato, but should have really tried it out first. Unfortunately, I read about this in a review of other pedals that included this as an ' you may also want to try......'
I have a boss pw10 v-wah which does the uni-vibe thing very well - but you can't switch it on or off with a footswitch without moving the pedal and thus changing the rate of tremolo. So I wanted something that did more than a basic tremolo effect, but was easily switched on or off for solos. This has the 'doppler' function which I thought might do it. It's a poor imitation of any of the more expensive pedals I'm afraid. Even the tremolo isn't convincing... Anyway I've said enough - its on its way back to the web site as I speak.
