Based on the Vertex wah sham, it seems the BBE pedal brand in general has taken not only a reputation boost (to be honest it wasn't that bad in the first place, I rate their trem pedal) but a price boost.
If you own a BBE, which pedal do you have and how would you honestly rate it in terms of quality/fair price.

I'm very impressed - it's exactly as described in the reviews. The sound is very smooth "vintage vocal style" and the build quality appears to be very good.
As for the price - it cost me £130 shipped from Thomann. Not sure what price was before the recent shenanigans but I consider it to be fair value rather than "cheap".
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

However, try before you buy - lots of noisy ones around apparently, although BBE say it was just the early ones.
I've also tried the black one that's a metal distortion. Not a terrible pedal for super saturated, tight crunch but not my first pick. Not ampy sounding, more like a rat but higher gain and tighter.
The green screamer is a tubescreamer.
They do a twin delay pedal that's really nice, the two timer. Not my kinda thing but a wonderful sounding pedal.
The reviews of them were mostly good, and the reviews of the vertex axis were that it was the best wah ever - so even if you average the two styles of review (lol impartial my arse) it comes out as an excellent wah pedal - at any price point.
I actually had a right laugh reading the axis wah reviews, and comparing them to Ben wah reviews (best wah ever vs sounds good for the money).
