ok, so it's nobody's fault that I'm dissapointed, the pedal might be great for someone else. I bought it firstly to use it as a volume pedal and I was 99.345% sure the volume feature will be passive and will not require power to operate (I mean it needs just the pot to work as a volume pedal). The fact that it was also a wah pedal came as a bonus for me, I imagined I will only use it in rare occasions as such. Then it would have been a 5 stars review, but in this case I must take into account the fact it doesn't accept a battery although it only needs 18mA, it's too small, the rubber on it's bottom doesn't grip well to the floor and indeed the switch needs some force to be pushed (because of the small rubber feet from underneath the flap) so you end up not (de)activating it in a pinch when you'll need it. And again, it doesn't accept a battery, so you'll always need to drag a power supply with it or use it only on a pedalboard, which might be fine for you, for me not so much. On the plus side... it's red, the metal construction seems sturdy.
