All important info has been said below. I would simply say that the build quality is the rendezvous is stronger than a Cry Baby and as robust as Morley!
I recommend the use of batteries or provide a good supply of pedals (I use a T-Rex power 5x9V)
In / Out, plug and play!

UTILIZATION

Global settings are simple and accessible at the foot with respect to the activation of moan. For the rest, the knobs are large and clear. 3 different modes and Moan who rule in his corner. The effect locks fully depressing the pedal disengages the same way. In the old way Vox. No return of the pedal with a spring, everything is manual!
The magnitude of the effect is good and generous, sensitive to foot it responds well and quickly. Fun!
I used the automatic activation wahs (Morley Tremonti and CryBaby GCB95Q) with spring return for disengagement, so I struggled to get used to this type of operation more rustic! I have never used in concert.
A manual? What manual? Boarf is a wah: tamper with it and test. This is an effect of feeling after all!

SOUND QUALITY

Level sound is super clean and the 3 modes are radically different! Honors modes Classic and Bass (bassists are happy beings: it swinge A LOT!). The moan is capricious: it uses the wah to lead it quickly becomes unmanageable and too aggressive! I use it mostly for clean or crunch sound effect as much fuzz and wah gives it its typical styles of rock to Three Doors Down.
Small flat for the use of the wah clean: it modulates the volume, which made it feel playing with a volume knob and you hear nothing when the wah is in serious ... In the end I use the wah in two ways:
- Classic Wah effect over a lead slightly distorted. Is approached his Vox and the effect is both groove and velvety. It grows well and it waaaaaaaaah treble.
- Effect + classic moan over a clean crunchy: wah brings the distortion necessary to lead and that is the whole point of the germanium fuzz board! Monstrous groove!

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 year but I use it just because I find it quite exotic and impractical to live when you have the habit of wahs "intuitive" as Morley Cry or to enable / disable auto. You have to push the wah effect to cut back sharply, this is not musical so it is necessary to lower the volume from the guitar at the same time to do a fade. The other alternative is to use a volume pedal or provide a switchable loop. I have not tested the wah in the effects loop, I still live branch.
Otherwise, the effect is of good quality and interesting by pannel settings. It responds well, you just learn to master the damn cat character has a Siamese cross Carthusian gutter!
