Getting these 3 pedals in a deal that I was mainly going for cause it involves a decent looking pedal board, cables, and power supply stuff (Behringer Compressor too).

What do yous think of these 3 pedals? I've watched Mike's great video of the Zoom, and it looks like it'll get along very nicely with my TT. Vibrotrem seems like decent sounds on the cheap, and I've been looking for a Wah for a while, so this'll do nicely.

I've got a vibratrem, basically does exactly what it says on the tin, solid pedal.

The footswitch on mine is broken though so it's always on. I daren't touch the PCB mounted switch with a soldering iron.

I'm assuming Cryb is Crybaby?

Then it is what it is. It's the classic wah, if you like wah. If you don't like wah, you won't like it. Certainly nothing wrong with them.

I had a PD01 and loved it, a real modern classic; prices are starting to appreciate on them too. Try and snag an Ultrafuzz as well, they go together lovely. The crybaby is fine as a ubiquitous wah, mods to make it true bypass here.

Cheers for the link, I might just do that if I end up using the pedal enough. Would it be a simple enough mod to do myself? I know a bit about basic soldering and could probably find some info on the net.

Got these and the pedal board (+ a case for them all) just earlier tonight.

Seems like a real bargain. Bit of a noob to Wahs so it'll take a bit of getting used to forcing the switch down. The Zoom seems fantastic, as it was in Mike's demo (I'm using a TT too).

Very chuffed!
