«  but essential to revise »

classic, purchased 20 years ago.
effect known architects, made in USA.

UTILIZATION

intuitive.
recurring problem of reliability:

the knob constantly crashes, the trip setting of the knob is not easy to handle when the creature is dismantled, there is no true bypass and the sound is different between I go through the pedal without enclancher and I not wear it ... which in hindsight is crap.

SOUND QUALITY

the sound is very good at first, but with its bypassed this problem, it's pretty average.
So I installed a true bypass. there are clear topics on the net about it, it's pretty easy to do if you're clever but you have to adjust it stomp of "triggers the right place with your foot ... a hair GALERE. But this changes everything!

second point, I had to change the volume pot pourri by a knob replacement official. The sound is very different from before. it's cleaner, better staged (excellent), but also more powerful, clean sound and less easy to maintain as the boost is most important.
Finally, after the changes, it is a good pedal, but that's still a pedal to avoid.

OVERALL OPINION

I had a morley wah volume, tried a real VOX 2000 and 2008 another Chinese, nothing beats a real old vox. The recent vox are pretty rotten, the morley are clean but there are too many models ...
So a crybaby a little secondhand revisited, it's not too expensive and it will patrce the basic sound is not bad. attention, not because it is old and made in U.S. that quality will await you ...
