    Default Crybaby GAS

    I've bought a GCB-95F, aka the Crybaby for Suckers.

    CBA with photos, but you've all seen a wah pedal before.

    Basically, you get a normal Crybaby with a mystical inductor and better bypass for a lot more money than it would cost to buy a normal Crybaby and perform these mods yourself. So in the VFM stakes, it is not quite up there with the Fender Classic Player series.

    Also, the circuit board parts are so tiny that modifying this pedal is impossible (unless you change the entire board).

    All that said, I really like this pedal. I even like the fact that I can't modify it. It saves me from hours of agonising over whether it needs modding, and then hours more agonising over whether my mod was a good decision.

    It sounds good. I've only tried it through a Microcube, because setting up my big amps at home is too much grief. I'm gigging on Saturday, so I'll find out then how well it cuts through. At the moment I'm worried that it could use a bit of a volume boost, but we'll see.

    You can get mods for that that wah wah guy (Stewart McSporan McCastledine) does entire Clyde McCoy drop in circuits for 50 buckaroos sterling.
