Just wondering if anyone has tried one of these. Looks like an awesome pedal.

I had an original. The wah's not that great, but the fuzz is cool. The sliding top for the fuzz volume was a little weird too. The switches were a little close. If you have wide feet it could be a problem too. Mine used a string pulley rig inside. I don't know if they changed it or not.

I still have an original next generation Fender Fuzz Wah, the giant cast aluminum job with the three knobs on it. Again, the wah's not great but the fuzz is cool. You would have to try one out for yourself.

I don't have any experience with the Fuzz-Wah but I do own a Volume-Tone Fender pedal and I've got to say I really like it. Very smooth operation and built like a tank, very hardy pedal that can take lots of use.
It takes a little time to get used to moving your foot side to side(for tone) but your hands are free! :)

I like the FuzzWah, I thought it was equally as good at fuzz and wah. Them pedals usually favour fuzz or wah, it's like one circuit was added as a afterthought. Not in that case though, I found the fuzz to be fuzzy and the wah to be wah'y to equall degrees.
Not the case with my 67 Jen fuzzwah. The wah's great but the fuzz is tame. It's good for using with a dedicated fuzz pedal, where a normal wah isnt. I presume Fender have the buffer sorted on their fuzzwah from what I heard so thats probably the same.

Fhop. Do you think it would be possible the reverse the tone/vol controls on your pedal. That way you could get a wah with a variable volume kind of effect. Rather than a volume with a tone control??? All you'd need to do then is add a big Q to the tone sweep. Probably not anywhere near as easy as it sounds.

Haven't tried one, it looks cool and the description makes it sound like a future purchase, have to add it to the wish list 8)
