Sorry, only saw your post now. Nope, no Budda importer. If you import it, you'll pay VAT on it, but that's about it. Sometimes they charge a few Rand extra for "duties", but I've never paid more than R150 in total for Tax and duties on a pedal (even though the pedal in question was $230).
The Budda Wah really is a killer wah. I've long lusted after it, but I've never been able to justify dropping the cash on one when there's so many other cool drive pedals to buy!
As a side note, the best Wah I've ever played (IMHO), even when compared to my faded memories of the awesome Budda or the Teese stuff, is the Dunlop Buddy Guy Wah. It's everything you'd expect of a classic rock/ blues wah - warm, vocal, thoaty, bell-like highs, smooth, liquid. It has 2 modes. BG and Deep. Both fantastic, eminently usable sounds. As you can tell, I really like it. It's replaced the Budda on my "To Buy" list.
So you would definitely take the buddy guy over the budda? Where would you get it from, local or import?
