It has a three position tone switch, low, mid and high for the wah. The fuzz is vintage sounding and pretty messy at high vols. but you can blend it down nicely to mix with the wah. At high vols the fuzz kind of overpowers the wah and sucks out some of your low end and definition as well. But that is the age old problem w/ bass distortion. I'm very happy with it. I didn't pay $130.00 for it though. $119.99 @ Musicians Friend. |

That said, I found a Bootzilla in an empty store so I got to play with it for like 30 minutes with no one else playing to interfere with my judgment, and I really loved the sound of the wah, which I can't say for any other wah ever. I didn't end up buying it, because I don't think foot-controlled wah is for me, but if I had one, it would be the Bootzilla. |

Thanks for the review. You're making me very tempted. How long have you had the Bootzilla pedal? I've heard they can brake easily. |

Just look at the various commercially-produced "Bootsy basses" on the market. Crapola. I love Bootsy's musicianship, but when it comes to endorsements he's just collecting an easy paycheck, nothing more. |
