No, not at all, it's a great Wah, but you have to have a use for it. It's hard to actualy use it. I only bought it because it was the right price on ebay. The Aria Flanger is an amazing pedal though, twinned with the Octave on my amp, you can get some seriously funky sounds. It's mid 80s, but they often go on ebay for about £30. I'm looking at some distortions, but it's hard, because I play a mixture from (mainly) funk, to a bit of rock, punk and ska, finding one which covers them all is quite difficult, currently looking at the EBS Multidrive, but have yet to try one out. I have pretty much fallen in love with Stuart Zender's tone, he sounds great. If you like Commerford, I would definately recomend the Aria FL10, unfortuantely there isn't one on ebay atm, but there wil be one soon I garuntee it.
