Does anyone own the Fender Fuzz/Wah pedal currently available in the accessories section of the website? Looks like a cool pedal with some interesting contrrol options. I'm wondering if it is as durable as it looks, sound quality, and whether it is true by-pass.

Opinions and observations would be appreciated.

I posted a similar request a couple of days ago and didn't receive a single reply. Maybe nobody uses these pedals?

I have one of Fender Volume pedals and it is very durable.The beefy pedal seems to push back ever-so-slightly against your foot, which makes performing even and volume swells a breeze. There’s also complete silence when the pedal is all the way back. These may seem like trifles—or major “duhs”—but anyone who has used a volume pedal that lets wisps of signals eek out, or who has stepped on a wobbly or inconsistent treadle will agree that the Fender pedal’s militaristic attention to duty is a godsend.

Never played the Fuzz/wah but I did check out that volume pedal and Miami Mike is right on... it would take dynamite to break that thing, and its huge!

And the bag beats a Crown Royal bag...

I have one of these pedals. I purchased it around 1967 and It's close to indistructable. I modified it and built a power supply for it to illiminate the need for a nine volt battery. I have since lost the power supply but it works perfectly with a battery.

Any commercially-available wall wart with 9 VDC output at around 180 mA should work.

I bought one too Mike. I got the one with the side to side tone control on it and as has been said these pedals are built like a tank.
