Zakk Wylde has almost always had a wah pedal in his rig, and he uses it quite a bit. Considering that he's stamping his name on everything he comes across, it was only natural for him to get his own signature wah pedal. This one is pretty much your standard wah pedal, but it's voiced a bit more aggressively to Zakk's own specs.
UTILIZATION
These pedals are built like tanks. They can withstand nearly anything you throw at them, short of spilling your beer all over them. The casing is extremely durable, and you can chuck it across the room without much of an issue. About the only thing that occurs is dust and grime getting inside the pot, but you can just spray some contact cleaner in there to fix them, most of the time. The wah is extremely easy to setup, and everything is laid out in an easy to understand matter. The manual also does a great job at explaining everything for you.
SOUND QUALITY
The wah pedal sounds pretty good for what it is. It delivers a solid sound, just like a lot of other Crybaby wahs out there. That said, I don't think it's nearly as versatile as the other wah pedals out there. The 535Q and SW95 have way more options to taylor the sound to your specifications. With this wah, it's pretty much just the same sound over and over again. To me, that's a bit of a disappointment because I could just buy a GCB95 for that.
OVERALL OPINION
If you're a big Zakk fan, I guess this is worth buying. The sound itself isn't too bad. In fact, it sounds really good. However, I just think it lacks versatility to truly be a great wah, especially for the price. I'd much rather look into the 535Q or the SW95 if I were shopping for a wah pedal today. Also, I don't think this wah is true bypass, but I can't remember for certain.
