Sound Quality:
Marshall 6100 LM (532) with TAD endtubes_Boss CE-1_Roland AP-2 Phase Five_ Maxon OD9 Brown Mod 808_ Roland RE-201 Space Echo,    _Korg SDD 2000_Lexicon reverb_ Colorsound Wah-Swell, Gibson SG Custom/ Les Paul or a Jackson PS1. Yep I'm a gearslut and still looking for prey. This is imao the lushest sounding wah (ignore the 10, it should be 11!), i compared it with a Dunlop Cry Baby and a Vox, but these were blown away in sweeeeeetness. A lot of lower mids that warms any blues and soulsound up to boiling point (Think SHAFT!!). The others are somewhat more hi-mid tending, thus some harsher. But there is a nice A-B one on Youtube
Reliability/Durability:
Please people, it's handmade British from the 70's. No crackly potmeter, and all original parts are still in it. Now it can do a senior's job in a mixing studio
Ease of Use:
It's a Footpedal with only one switch! one press = Wah another time = Swell ( volume pedal) Even a chimp can use it
Customer Support:
There is a company called Macaris Musical Instruments of London that does the business in Colorsound, but i had no contact with them, so for this one i can't rate.
Overall Rating:
Specially for Soul and Blues this one is very nice, but due to it's wide throw you can tune in on the frequency range you want to handle, so it also does the trick in Metal and Rock.

Sound Quality:
I like the sound very much. Vintage and warm sounding. I use it clean, or after my distortion. Funky, Shaft-like as well as Hendrix-like sounds are all possible.
Reliability/Durability:
It seems very reliable. Must be over 30 years old and still going strong...
Ease of Use:
A (blue) wah and volume (swell) pedal. Very easy to use. I believe it's from the 70s. The chrome is bit rusty.

I like its sound. What's more to say???
