Gigged with it last night, pretty awesome. Really smooth travel without flopping into the toe or heel down positions. "Tone suck" not all that noticeable especially for a passive pedal (i.e. does not make my amp sound like it's underwater as other volume pedals have). The first batch had bad steel bands that'd break - apparently you can tell this batch by its rougher finish (the new ones are all smooth brushed aluminum) - so, watch out for those. There's a flat rubber-ish surface on the bottom instead of annoying rubber feet, but it's so huge I don't know who'd mount it to a board. Not so huge that it doesn't fit in the front pocket of my PT-mini bag, which is great.

It doesn't suck your dick or anything, but it's certainly capable of making your signal loud, then quiet. Then loud again, if you want. Maybe a few shades in between.
