They got Bootsy Collins to show up, so they must be doing something right.

I checked out the link. The blue wah was ok, but I'm not sure the world needs more endorsed wah pedals. I give it a, meh

I like the idea of a few knobs on a wah to control things like the Q of the sweep and volume and gain and whatnot (i've done some of those mods on my Crybaby), but my jury is out on whether I like the looks of 'em or not.

same here, I've done some of those mods to mine. They're very useful. The blue one is definitely the coolest, but yeah they're kinda fugly

Yeah--i'd removed the buffer, too. One of the best and easiest mods for the Crybaby is just to move the treadle bar (the thing with the notches) ahead or behind on the notches on the potentiometer....i've found that you can get a better sweet spot of where the wah resides in the treadle.

I got to see Bootsy kick it at NAMM, from about 2 feet away... It was most impressive.

As for those Gig-FX pedals, The Chopper pedal and the Frampton Wah, were bad ass... To the point that I am on my way home with both of them in my suitcase.

Eventide also has a really cool pedal out now called Space.

Out of curiosity, did you happen to check out the Metal Shaman pedal from Rivera that was unveiled there?

Right on, anything else cool that impressed you aside from what you bought?

I am itching to get my hands on the new eventide reverb (SPACE) and delay (TIME FACTOR) stompboxes. They are pricey as hell via retail, but I am trying to work something out with one of their reps. They were both amazing. Gig-FX has a pedal called the CHOPPER which everyone should own.
