"Mine was noisy."

Feature:
Like I said I really wanted to dig it, the little "bug" thing is cool, although with a Les Paul you need to use the small velcro patch that they give you. I do feel a little nervous jumping about to much, and I have had the battery cover pop off.

Quality:
The quality is reasonable for the price.

Value:
You get what you pay for (although I have had another unit that was a bit clunkier but much quieter that was in the same price range.

Desirability:
Looks good.

Sound:
I really wanted to love this thing...though it doesn't seem to fuck up my tone, it is pretty noisey. I get a crackling/hissing sound in the background. I've also had it cut out on me a couple times and if the battery (in the bug) starts to fade watch out. I have tried correcting the problem with the "squelch" control to no avail.

Support:
Don't know, haven't contacted them.
