Value For Money : Excellent
This is a non-optical analog.
It is very robust.
I put 7 because the original pedal does not contain a power jack 9V AC outlet which is really annoying. I was lucky enough to stumble upon a modified pedal with this socket just a big plus.
Attention USA versions only have a True Bypass!

UTILIZATION

To activate the wah must rely heavily on position (toes down), so it will not switch back with a false movement within jump.
The race is a bit short and fairly resistant (non-adjustable) so apart from making ascents / descents alternate, making a transition request to be super focused ...
With the decline of other pedals that I am not a big fan of his race.

SOUND QUALITY

She brought out a sound that sounds Hendrix is ​​clear. This is also a reissue of time so that side no worries. Even without playing the pedal, just by activating and leaving the shutter sound has a beautiful grain.
But this lack of difference between the two extreme positions of the pedal, it is not very well marked.
Do not try to make him out to the big wah in marilyn manson sweet dreams or otherwise, it will not work. It is made for clean, crunch, and play blues or rock 70 '.
Caution Chinese versions (not USA) have a bad reputation on the quality of sound reproduction time. It may be useful to seek a U.S. version even pay more. Personal I live had a USA so I can not compare but this is what came out of the forums when I tried to get it.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 2 years that I have, I paid € 100 used which is quite expensive but it is a U.S. version with an outlet so it is not negligible in the price. Honestly it would be at least 20 to 30 € more than the Chinese now.
The most positive point is that it beautifies wonder all the little sounds too powerful by making a little lens.
The price / quality ratio is good if you play in this record, I personally have paid dearly for the little I use it even if it is wrong.
Again, if you are looking for the Hendrix is ​​THE pedal! Doubt.
