This pedal is great and it's not the first one I've owned. I purchased the older version in the larger housing. I like the "vintage" vibe of the older style case and the sounds are just as cool. It's a great modulation effect and if you're looking for some older, more raw, less processed sounds, this is a pedal worth checking out. 4 modes, each equally intersting. Check out the demos on youtube and you can get an idea of what it's sonic possibilites are. One thing to note, it requires it's own power adapter since it doesn't operate on 9vdc. other than that, I can't think of anything that I don't like about this pedal. I also love the fact that it's made in the USA.
Awesome device with a lot of sounds. I love the auto-wah in particular, and the other settings are strong, too. There's a hidden boost in the trem if you get it into manual mode. All in all, a lot of fun!

The Worm I purchased isn't quite what I thought it would be. I do believe that what The Worm gives in versatility, it gives up in the level of control of the effect. I love tremolo but The Worm doesn't quite have the range or wave shape I like to have. I bought the older, larger version. When used at higher volumes it produces a hiss. I'm not sure if this is a fault of the product or I got a bad unit. Regardless, its at the repair tech's place for him to check out. I've acquired a Boss Temolo and love it. Boss allows you to control the shape of the wave from square to round and it has much more extremes to its depth and speed. Again, I'm not sure I recieved a faulty version or this is how it is. I do not recommend this unit unless you get to try it in person first. Had I done that with this unit, I would not have purchased it.Read full review
I have both the original large version of this pedal, and the smaller diecast XO version. I love them both, though they have some differences. The XO has an expression pedal input, and the original does not. The original has a direct output, and the XO does not. The original emits quite a bit of white noise hiss, and the XO does not. The original tends to distort a bit if the input signal is too hot. The XO does not. Both units alter your guitars original tone and frequency response noticeably. I feel it does so in a pleasing way, and is a reason to buy this pedal. But if you are hung-up on having your original tone filtered, avoid this pedal. The original seems a bit beefier than the XO, but I have not tested that observation with any tools other than my own ears. It could be my imagination, and the fact that I fell in love with the original before the XO was released. The Modulated Wah is super-fat and syrupy sounding, and can either be set to automate the wah with an oscillator, or set as a traditional wah-wah pedal with an expression pedal. The Phaser is 3 stages, and has a gorgeous Univibe-like quality about it. Great phaser for those early 70s classic rock tones. The Tremelo is the weakest setting on the Worm. It is useable, but will disappoint anyone who is looking for that choppy Johnny Marr-style tremelo, or a surf-style Fender vibrato emulation. The Vibrato is a very subtle effect. The pitch-bend is not as deep as a Magnatone 260 vibrato, for example. But it is still a very tasty effect that adds a kind of antiquity to your guitar tone, as if it were playing from a warped vinyl LP. It is my second favorite setting on this pedal. The Manual mode is also very useable, especially in the Phaser mode and the Wah mode. It behaves almost like a Q knob on a parametric EQ. Great for emphasizing mids, or getting a nasally tone. I love this pedal so much, I have 2 of them. Nothing else out there quite like it.Read full review
I just love it! Sounds like a very expensive pedal, yet such an affordable one with many sound options
