This is a rugged and well built, capable of withstanding some abuse. I wanted a Dunlop DVP 3 but alas that would occupy a lot of space in my pedalboard, so this is the perfect size for that. Ideally I'd even use the Dunlop DVP 4, but that one is just too small for my size of shoe (44) and hard to control like that - plus I was hitting the other pedals next to the SVP4. This DVP 5 solves that and is perfect because allows to save quite some space while keeping as versatile as the DVP3
