"Amazing"

Feature:
You can get all of the sounds you are looking for with this pedal.

Quality:
This pedal is built like a tank.

Value:
I thought it was a bit pricy, but if you bought everything seperate, you be spending lots of money, so it is actually fairly cheap.

Desirability:
Sweet purple and yellow color, and awsome writing. Also comes in a purple velvet bag with Yellow hendrix signiture.

Sound:
The sounds are amazing. Purple Haze intro sounds just like it, and the star spangled banner makes you feel up on stage. All sounds are dialed in perfect and it's amazing. Buy it.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. The wah pedal is smooth and has great sweep and sound. This pedal is great for the money and very simple.

Support:
Have'nt experienced difficulty, but im told they're great.

Overall:
This product is great. I feel comfortable playing anywhere with it and don't rely on any back ups. BUY THIS PEDAL.

"Sounds like Hendrix and is built like a tank. Awesome."

Feature:
The features are just what you'll need for playing. It would've been great if they put the optional pedal for shifting the sound models on the stage. But... for this price... what do you want ?

Quality:
The pedal is built just like a tank. The end product is very nice. It is also very heavy. That's why I like Digitech products... you won't find on the market many pedals built like those from Digitech.

Value:
I bought this pedal for 3kk dollars because of the transport and vamal taxes. But still ... I think the pedal worth this money. Think that you have just an VOX wah wah pedal and a UniVibe pedal... you will reach very easy 400 dollars or even more.

Desirability:
The pedal looks great... with Jimi's signature on the left side. The color ... Purple Haze.

Sound:
The sound is extremly good. Initial, I wanted to buy a Fulltone DejaVibe... but after I bought this pedal... I was stroked by the sound. Unfortunate... I don't have an very expensive amplifier but still with this pedal it feels great. The wah-wah is just like the VOX. I don't need a compressor because the stroke offered by this pedal is great. I bought this pedal because I'm obsessed by Jimi's music. If you want to sound almost like him ... buy this pedal. I said "almost" because if you want to sound like him you must study very well electric guitar. I think that my pedal will sound much better when I'll buy a good amplifier and a good guitar. I think that Stratocasters are the best for it... very logic ... isn't so ? I just bought the pedal... is the first pedal that was brought to my country ... Romania. I'm very happy that the pedal isn't made in China(for now you will get the originals...so hurry up). The sound is good for Hendrix, Trower, Marino's styles.

Support:
I'll tell you... because the pedal is so well built... I don't think that something will break.

Overall:
If I would have more money I would buy another one... just for backup. I own also a Morley wah wah pedal but this kicks the buts. For having a wah wah effect with Morley I had to modify the internal electrical scheme. This problems ended because of the Jimi's pedal. I'm happy.

"You don't play it, you EXPERIENCE it!"

Feature:
The purple velvet gig bag with Jimi's signature embroidered on it was killer. The pick was so-so. The pedal's appearance is phenomenal. The features of the pedal itself are outstanding.

Quality:
Solid as a tank. fantastic paint job. No loose parts, but the control knobs seem to be on the fragile side. I'll velcro mine to the pedal board. Probably will break down and get the optional FS3X pedal to control the model switching and toe/heel modes. Too bad that won't have an idicator telling you which model you're in. Also, remember that the power supply is 9 volts AC, so if you're on the road, you shoul dprobably have a spare power supply because you won't be able to replace this one with something from Radio Shack.

Value:
This pedal is worth the price.

Desirability:
Come on. It's HENDRIX. Why futz around with a rat's nest of pedals and cables to come close to the classic sounds when you can have one pedal that does them all exactly? Short of being able to load VST plug-ins into a stompbox (is anyone out there listening), this is the ultimate pedal. This is the direction for stompboxes to come.

Sound:
If you're looking for the Hendrix tone, this is the pedal. Every one of the model tones are dead on for the recordings. You won't need other pedals for that tone, this is the one.

Support:
Luckily, most of the Digitech product I own have never needed repair. No experience with the warranty on this pedal, but was somewhat put off by the caveat on the bottom of the pedal that says that removing the label or even the screws on the bottom of the pedal voids the warranty. Okay, have it your way, but Digitech needs to find a gentler way to ease guitarists into this new era. Most guitarists that use stompboxes are used to having the unalienable right to open them up and see what makes them do what they do...

Overall:
I will use this pedal to play out and will probably buy another one as a back up. Digitech is notorious for issuing a killer pedal and then abruptly ending production (remember the Talker?), "improving" it at the expense of the best features (the original Whammy), so I'll be buying a back up in case it becomes a classic.
