No frills except an external knob to adjust the Q.
on the other hand quality is present, evidence for fixing the switch with nut against nut as the RMC, the components are soldered to the Catch and installation is mega pro! Led witness ON / OFF handy.
In addition to a great look and a battery access door by avoiding removal.

UTILIZATION

The switch is a kind of stubborn hair and startup may be little obvious when sitting. But it is quite common for a wah. In addition, the entire race of the latch being used that avoids the unfortunate engagement.
The Q knob is notched medium position and efficiency can adapt to different styles.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is always smooth and music no screaming or acute low deaf. However, it should adapt to the fact that the whole race is usable, but after a few warm-up laps on quickly inside.
With Q to zero we find a (more modern) but fairly neutral wouaahh interresting for a sober game and contrast with the Q donf we are in the "WWWOUUAAAH" sublime that approximates vintage wahs made in Italy 67.
For light crunch I found the configuration before distortion pedals more interresting and vice versa (after distortion) for overruns "off wallpaper" or "destruction of all life within a radius of 200 meters" type!
The little difference in the crunch made me opt for config "after distortion."

OVERALL OPINION

Before the BBE, I had a Cry baby, I tried to hold the home RMC7, Budda Wah, Handwired Vox V846, Dunlop CAE MC404 (see review) and frankly BBE kill all the world. Side and money compared to 145 euros postage not included photo, the others being between 195 and 260 euros. The only one that could rival is the MC404 Bob Bradshaw because the sound was really there, but a crunch knob untimely brought me to the BBE.
And the BBE wah I think she will stay for a while in my set hoping that longevity is at the height of his qualities.
And if j'voulais to my "sweet" the only complaint we could do is switch the battery is not hard plastic like some pedals on quality. But ... the one hand none of wahs tried had this advantage and secondly, serve as j'me 9V because of my participation in the substantial increase in shareholder dividends of at DURACELL.
