Does the job -- a bit pricey.

I have found that this switch works best with presets, and that's why I got it. It works for tap tempo and turning effects on and off, too. It's great to be freed up from pushing buttons on the amp mid-song. If you own a VT amp, you know that there are sometimes some unusual sounds that happen when you switch settings. They still happen using the footswitch, so a quick spin of the volume pot on your guitar is sometimes in order.
Overall, the pedal does exactly what it's advertised to do, and seems solidly built, in my opinion. I would have given it a 4.0 (I have yet to give a 5) if it had LEDs over each channel button. Plus, it's a bit expensive, but worth it not to have to push amp buttons by hand. Hope this helped!

Needs Work

I recently bought this for my VT100 2x12 amp and have not exactly been thrilled since. I does the job, but the transitions between settings are very jerky and are not good for quick mid-song switching. The footswitch doesn't disable the controls on your amp, so you can accidentally change the setting with your amp while using the footswitch. Also I wish you could have the option of using your own cord (longer or shorter) to hook it up to an amp, 1)so you can use a shorter chord for practice 2)so you can use a longer cable for live performances (front of stage to backline 3)so you aren't out $60 if the cable shorts out --- OK product but Vox needs to redesign it.

My Sweetwater Sales Engineer wasn't pushy like most "typical" sales people. His suggestions have been wonderful. I'm going to use you guys for life!
