This thing is basically a whacked out wah/envelope follower with wide parameters so you can get some great sounds. This is 100% analog lovin. The only editing is the five knobs on its face. It is all 1/4" audio. It is rackable if you buy the rackmount accessory (which holds three mf pedals all together).
UTILIZATION
The configuration is simple in the fact that it has only 5 knobs, but like I said earlier, the parameters are WIDE. Because of this, you get quite a range of sounds from traditional wah to birds chirping while tripping on acid kinda stuff. The manual will give you some diagrams for "presets" and I recommend you learn them. Its confusing when on stage and you want a particular sound and you don't remember what positions the knobs are supposed to be.
SOUND QUALITY
All the sounds out of this pedal are awesome! I write music in the vain of radiohead, flaming lips, sigur-ros, and others who love textured and melodic noise, so this things comes in very handy. I use this in my effects chain of my syth/drum sampler/alt vocals/etc. mixer and it gets used on all of them. It really sounds good on everything if you toy around and find the coolest config.
OVERALL OPINION
I have had this for three years now. The best thing about this is the way the "wah" effect sounds on pads. Very eerie and ambient. The worst thing is how loud it can get when you mess with the resonance, but that is the nature of analog music. I just run a compressor after it and clip the ear piercing highs. I owned a dunlop crybaby before i got this, and the mf should be what the dunlop really was... a little baby. This thing cost $265 and I recommend buying the $40 expression pedal or it won't be nearly as fun. Its a lot of money, but once you start buying high end gear, you know exactly why it costs so much. If this thing ever breaks, i will do everything in my power to get another quickly.
