The wicker is a nice feature, I don't really use it too much, but it could easily be switched on when used as a "soloing" pedal... to really have the high ends cut through the other guys

If you didn't like muffs before, you'll probably like the wicker feature, it makes it far more clear and pronounced and less of a glob a goo and more distortion/ fuzz friendly.

the tone and wicker switches are nice features
