I've got 2 babies , 1 standard cry baby and a ZW cry baby modded with ICAR pot ( more cremy sound in high freq) ...
Has anyone tried the Jerry Cantrell wah or the Buddy GUY ? Impressions and gossip are welcomed ...

HELL ...OOOOO :thumb:

The Kirk Hammet wah is something I absolutely do not need yet want for purely aesthetic reasons...... I have a 535Q that is awesome. The volume and "q" pots are pretty cheaply and I suspect they'll fail at some point, but it sounds awesome after a muff pedal...... I bought it used for 80 bucks and feel it was a wonderful purchase........

I don't use it much but one time this guy couldn't make good on a twenty-sack of weed I spotted him :whateva:

so he gave me his old crybaby instead. I humbly accept. Come back next week.

i had the Crybaby Mister - the wah/volume with boost function. i sold it to get a Morley and now i have a regular GCB-95 and i'm quite happy with it... the sweep of a treddle is pretty long on this one, but i've seen some with ridiculously short...

btw: i'm in constant struggle between overusing the wah and getting sick of it and loving the hell out of it... if i could aford it, i'd buy me the CAE/MXR wah, but since i'm not sure if i don't get rid of wah again, i don't want to invest this kind of money :lol:

With the exception of the ones with additional gain circuits, all of the Crybaby wahs are basically the same thing with a few component value changes. Most of those parameters are on the BYOC wah drop-in kit. Buy a used Crybaby for chump change and swap the BYOC board for the price of a new one!

You can still pick up an old Thomas Organ CB for $100ish if you look around and they/re way better than any of the Dunlops.
I've seen OEM Jen wahs for peanuts too.

...or get a Maestro Boomerang

Get the Cantrell, just because it looks boss.

I picked up a crybaby from hell on the cheap, half because of the novelty of a camo finish.

It has a little extra range over a standard crybaby--5 way selector for frequency range and it has the option of a boost if you're using it for lead, not a bad pedal.

as i've written before, i had a Mister, GCB-95, then i bought 95Q...

and now i have a MXR/CAE MC404 i've been drooling over for quite some time

... it's really superior to the others

didn't have a chance to try the Cantrell on... it looks killer, i give you that
