There are some pedal designs that seem like they are built to withstand an apocalypse, or at least a Kurt Cobain style stage frenzy. I think of the old Mutrons, or the old Tel-Ray Morleys, or the old Fuzz Faces for examples.

But I would not place the EHX tube series in that class of sturdy pedal design. The power supply jack, for starters, is a bit fragile and precariously placed, and would probably be the first thing to suffer at the feet of a Neanderthal stage schtick.

But don’t let that stop you from getting a Wiggler. It’s a truly amazing sounding pedal for certain styles, especially those late sixties Fender swampy bluesy tones.
