Mooer MFT1 Bass Sweeper

I have been looking at different smaller envelope filters and just ordered a Mooer MFT1 Bass Sweeper because I thought it sounded pretty good in the youtube demos, and it was pretty cheap, so I figured I would take a chance on it, and was wondering if anyone had any hands on experience with them. From the demo posted below I wasn't a fan of the "fuzz tone" but I have a pedal for that so I wont be using that feature most likely.

 
Oh yeah, it's a little Bassballs clone. Range and Resonance seem to mimic the BB's internal trimpots, and the fuzz on the sweeper is actually a little smoother than on the modern Bassballs Nano. I liked it when I had it even though i slightly prefer the 90s USA BB, and many TBers have touted it as a great clone. It's a fun pedal!

yeah it seems like a good clone. I have a MU-Tron III but I don't like gigging with that and want one that is smaller to fit my board and less likely to develop legs
 
I have one and like it quite a bit. I prefer it with the fuzz on although it does give it a noticeable gain boost. Nice range of sounds available with the three controls. It took a bit to dial in a sound that works for me but once there it earned a spot on the board.
