It's so crazy. The only thing I would worry about is if it can get that nice classic distorted wah or if its more of a nasaly, funky, wah meant for clean tones.

it's probably neither, probably some weird new wah which nobody's ever heard of, sounds more like ZVEX to me.....



^ did that sentence make sense?

I think Zvex can tune the thing for you if you want another sound, it's hand made hence the price tag :lol:
I want a reverse tremProbe (full volume when my feet is NOT on it so I can leave it on all the time :) ) I'll have to ask if it's possible someday... when I get rich enough  :P

Those pedals are mad - I've been after the Fuzz Probe for a while but I can never justify the price compared to how much it'd get used.

It's not as cool as that real time midi control pad that Manson has started doing (as toted by Matt Bellamy at Reading)

That does look incredibly cool, BUT, am I the only one who thinks their foot would get absolutley knackered using it?

Personally I like the idea of recording a guitar part (either properly or with a little looper thing), playing that through it and then using your hands. Ideally speakingyou'd have a fuzz probe too for your other hand. Really cool idea, those pedals.

The Kaoss Pad Manson guitar he has is very cool.

Matt also uses a Wah Probe built into his first blakc Manson - the copper plate on the lower horn of the guitar controls a wah probe and a trem circuit I believe. Which just goes to prove that boy has far too much money and time on his hands...
