Toasted has one but I think he's selling it but its manage to last a good 6 months before he decided to move on thats a lot longer than most pedals so it can't be bad

Well never tried it but the specs on it are interesting being able to switch between having a stomp to turn the wah on and just touching it, it has more controls than any other bass wah out there and it sounded pretty good when he rang me however long ago it was and played it down the phone to me :P

But other than that I think there are very few people on here that have tried them.

Oh and it'sssssssssssss sooooooooooo shiny

I've got one. The switch literally disintegrated on me while investigating why it stopped working, but it was a quality brand switch so that was just bad luck and not the pedal company's fault. I easily replaced it.

The "touch" option still requires you to put pressure on it to get it working. You just lean on it a bit and it comes on. It'll go off if you rock back too far and release that pressure, but it's easy to get used to. It's not quite like the Ibanez one that comes on as soon as you move it slightly (if you set it that way). I prefer that, I think, and in fact prefer the Ibanez pedal overall so that's the one I use.

The one you're asking about has some cool sounds, and some very big low end sounds, but I only find one setting that I really think would work in a mix.

A lot of effects make interesting sounds IMO, but they're not desireable once you blast those sounds through an amp or a PA. That includes some of the extreme low-end and peaks of a lot of wah/envelope effects IMO. This one has enough adjustment options so you can avoid that problem.

The volume is pretty even. Just a bit louder. Odd mechanism inside for the effect. There's a review on this site of the Mk.I and the Mk.II has a much better mechanism but I still think a traditional one is best although this one works fine.

Try it yourself. You'd likely have little trouble re-selling it for approximately what you paid if the price is fair.
