Never heard of them?! I have seen wahs costing over 1k though

With a lip, and especially one at the bottom?  I'm not sure I'd like that, seems a strange design choice to me.

I came here expecting to see a Vertex mk2.

Vertex will be releasing a version soon which looks VERY close to this one but will have a different paint job and custom wound made parts which look
The same as the originals but importantly are Not the same. Remember they look the same but are not the same

Isaac Hayes relied on the Wah for Shaft, whereas EMB are just plain shafting..

I look at that wah, and the first thing I see in my head is what a cat fluff magnet it would be if I left the cover off my board at home.

Lol! I think that's pretty much what we're seeing!

Bonkers. I'm intrigued as to what it's like, but it's probably just a normal wah circuit with a couple of tweaks and an eye catching case.

I like the fact the blurb says no optics to wear out? The whole point of optics in some wahs is to prevent wear...

They haven't worked out their target audience... 

The people who spend that much money on pedals like things to be vintage, not modern.  (new) Old stuff sells, high tech doesn't.

It seems to have a lot of good options there, but even halving the price would put it too steep for most people.

Okay, the price is atrocious, but it needs 500mA to power it at 9v. That seems mental, you'd need a pretty serious PSU for that, even the Pedal Power 2 would have to give up both high power outlets... just to wah. 

Sod that.

And it'll scratch up pretty badly too.

A small prize for the first one spotted 'In The Wild' so to speak ?
