@ruggyrugg0 Many would say the Bad Horsie. I say it's a matter of taste. At 3:00 you can hear a comparison with the amp distortion switched on. You need to try every pedal you can get your hands on, with the guitar and amp you're going to use or something as close as you can get, to decide what works for you. Keep in mind that the crybaby sucks out the bottom end (bass tones) more than the Horsie but on stage that shouldn't be an issue, guitar lives in the midrange anyway.
Hey guys! A couple months ago I purchased an original Dunlop wah pedal only to bring it home and find that it didn't work. I replaced the batteries twice, made sure the input and output were in the right places and whenever it was clicked on there would be no sound at all. When it was clicked off, there was sound but no wah. So I returned it believing it was a defective pedal.
Now I have a new one WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I know it's me but what am I doing wrong?
@CreativeChick8 It almost has to be the battery. That's exactly how a dead battery would make it behave. Either that or you have the worst luck in the universe and you got two defective ones in a row.
@CreativeChick8 Make sure that you have the cables coming in and going out the correct way, it should show which way the cables should be going right on the face of the pedal. This happened to me once, It was working fine and I stoopped using it for a while and when I brought it back out I was running the guitar into the wrong side of the wah because apparently I can't read haha.
hey dude! i'm planning to buy the dunlop crybaby but i don't know if this thing is appropriate for metal! can you help me! BTW YOU'RE FUCKING AWESOME ;)
@tziligeo Thanks for the nice comment. I think crybaby is fine for metal but others may not. It sucks bottom end tone when engaged so if you're only playing at home & have chugga chugga tone you may hate it. In a band it's no problem...guitar lives in the midrange. Many would say bad horsie is more metal oriented: preserves bottom end better, and Steve Vai consulted on the design. But part of my point with the video is any wah pedal CAN work for any style. At 3:00 I use a heavier amp setting.
I gotz a question, though: I have a Big Muff that I absolutely love, but the thing has a massive mid scoop, rendering it useless in any kind of a band situation. I know that the most effective remedy is some kind of mids boost; I know next to nothing about wah pedals, but I know that boosting a muffs mids gives it a more open vowel sound. Would it be possible to use a wah as a mids boost?
@ChickenFaeces Well you COULD, but the problem is you'd have to find the right spot on the pedal each time you moved it, and the mid boost would be whatever the particular wah pedal design gives you, you'd have no control over the amount of mid boost or the Q (width) of the mid boost, and it would also affect your lows and highs to some degree. A much better solution would be to get an EQ pedal, then you could adjust the mids yourself, and easily kick it on and off as needed.
@MissingLincolnK The other problem is that even with an EQ pedal, when you kick on the Muff you'd have to also kick on the EQ pedal (same problem if you used wah to boost mids). The fix would be to get another pedal that gives you an effects loop on the floor, boss used to make one that is cheap on the used market if you can find one, there are many others not cheap. You can hook any number of pedals up, then kick them all in and out of the signal chain with one footswitch.
@MissingLincolnK And finally, one more thought: you say you love the Big Muff, but if you don't like it's EQ, then you really DON'T love it unconditionally do you? So go try out all the other fuzz/distortion pedals you can, haul your guitar into guitar center and anywhere else that has a fuzz or distortion pedal, try them all, I bet you can find one that you love that doesn't require you to go to the trouble and expense of adding more pedals to "fix" the midrange.
I just got my wah pedal today, I've got the cables in the right place but when I turn it on you can't hear the guitar, all that's happening is some kind of whistling sound when I put my heel down on it. Anyone know how I can fix it??
@MysteriousPostbox sounds like maybe a bad cable; try each cable going straight from guitar to amp; if the cables are both ok and the amp and guitar are ok, sounds like you got a bad pedal.
Yea sorry I don't know how to reply to your message but yes supper easy mod the c13 cap looks like a resistor and is labeled behide the cleans volume pot. If you send me an email link I can send you pictures of this process. It's so easy it's not even right! Now if you wire a switch you'll have to drill a hole in your shell to mount the switch. But even if u clip the one leg off the cap it will work. But I love the switch idea it leaves the option to go back if for some dumb reason I would do t
Hey man I am happy to report that I did this mod with the switch and AMAZING results the clean is so much better lots more bass, no more tin canny sounding, and best of all I DID NOT effect my gain at all!!!!!!!! I have fallen in love with this amp even more now than ever!!!!!!
O and I like that idea about puttin a switch on the c13 cap. I'm gonna try that I'll let you know what I think. I love the distortion of this amp my only issues is the clean being overwhelming and the eq and reverb could be better. But I don't mind hitting a switch if that sounds good.
@Whoelsewoulddie4u The more opinions I saw about the Marshall mod, the less I wanted it. Some say it does affect the dirty channel, & some are fine w/that. I'm so inspired by the distortion channel I don't want to tamper w/perfection. So I got an a/b switch & use a 2nd amp for clean, Pignose B100V in a Budda 1x12 open back combo w/Eminence speaker. Yes a bass head, 6L6 tubes, lovely. With my M-Audio Crunch Box I have a 2nd dirty option too.
Nicely done u got one wild vibrato! I like the crybaby for the single coils on the strat and I think that bad jordie sounds wonderful with the humbuckers on the les Paul!
how do you tighten the axis on the Dunlop Crybaby GCB-95 i have one of them it is pretty old when i put it in the back position and take my foot off it it normally just falls back down to the down position
@thejoshcarden I think there's a spring in there, sounds like it's broken or missing? I think if you take it apart you'll probably see what the problem is, may have to McGuyver something together.
For those of you who don't want to bother hunting down the translation, he said something like, "IMO you play like it like a fuck, you'll see when I buy one."
@Songwriter4God when someone brags about being a better player than someone else, that typically means they're merely a FASTER player, and 1) they confuse quantity of notes with quality of notes (not that you can't have both!) and 2) they confuse "music" (and "life" for that matter) with "contest"!
But he'd say we're both just jealous of his greatness.... ;)
@MissingLincolnK Yeah, it's kinda' like the Yngwei argument. I hate his playing so much, just for that reason, sure, he can play REALLY fast, but he can't play melodically! Then you got people like Satch and Vai who play fast and melodically! I agree about the contest thing, I've seen some comments where they say X person would "win" against X person.
@Nojrada Absolutely. The crybaby causes bottom end tone (bass tone) to disappear when engaged, to a much larger degree than the bad horsie. However guitar tone lives in the midrange so that's only an issue in a vacuum, e.g. in the bedroom with no other players. In a band or recording setting, the disappearance of bass frequencies can actually be a good thing for the mix.
If your running a lot of pedals and don't want all of the tone sucked out of your signal...you DON'T need to have your pedals modded: just make sure the FIRST pedal in your chain is beffered. I ALWAYS use the Boss TU-2 chromatic tuner as the first pedal, and my signal stays strong. Any engineer will tell you this. Try it out. Remember: BUFFERED...especially BEFORE a compressor.
@MrJetsons no you don't have to stomp forward onto a switch like the crybaby, with the horsie you just rock the pedal and it comes on automatically. Great feature eh.
@kaiser99er yes if you open them up. With the crybaby you can change the setting on the potentiometer which is rotated by the gear strip on the pedal, which seems to generate less wah, so I put it back as it was. On the horsie there's a triangular slot on a flat piece that rocks up and down between LED's, if you changed the slot you'd change the wah. Tricky. Many wah's on the market have knobs to adjust depth and amount of wah, you may want to look at those instead.
@Automobilie ah you assume I'm a bachelor because I have these toys and I don't look like much of a catch...find a good career, you can have the wife AND the toys!
It sounds to me the CryBaby is much better. BUT regarding the bypass : the CryBaby was significantly worse. I was surprised by the transparence of the Morley's bypass.
Anyway, I found websites that describe how to modify the CryBaby pedals to have a true bypass switch. With 14$ worth of material.
I seemed to prefer the Morley for most things, especially at highly overdriven settings. It also appeared to improve the tone a bit in the bypassed setting.
You run a regular guitar cable from your guitar to the input jack on the wah pedal (which is marked "input" or "in" or "instrument"), then another cable from the output jack of the wah pedal (which is marked "output" or "out" or "amplifier") to the input jack on your amp (what you're calling the "guitar hole") .
@juanesrp961009 A few wah pedals do have a switchable distortion feature, but wah and distortion are two completely different effects. Neither of the wah pedals in this demo include distortion. I switch on the Marshall distortion separately at about 3:00 I believe.
All the hardware including bridge is gold plate over silver metal; durability depends on the quality of the plating job and the amount of abuse, sweat, and rubbing it takes. Bridge gets the most hand contact so naturally will lose its plating faster than other parts. I don't know how the quality/thickness of the plating on this era Les compares to past years. If it sat in a corner it would stay gold, if that's what you're asking.
Any pedal will work for bass. Pedals designed specifically for bass typically just are tweaked a little in the low end to let more of that through. The Bad Horsie is already pretty bottom friendly, the Crybaby cuts quite a bit of bottom when engaged. If you're doing a bass solo with wah that's no problem, it will move you to the midrange to cut through drums etc.. If you're wanting to carry the bottom while wah-ing, may want to look at the Horsie, or a pedal designed for bass.
jammriffer, its not just for beginners no! They have a huge selection on PLECTRUMPLANET (dot) INFO , that will suit all stages from beginner up to more experienced who are looking to hone their skillz. Go check it out, you will ove it.
hey i have an e-machines, the one with 8g ram and 750g of space, i dont have any kind of sound board and my computer wont let me record into Adobe Audition or FL Studio could you help me solve my problem? I am only trying to record vocals into Adobe Audition on a standard little kareoke mic and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt (it doesnt work the majority of the time)... i would appreciate it.
I responded to this visitor directly, but for all of you who want to make recordings at home on your computer: there's tons of info on the internet, and decent equipment has become much more affordable in the last few years. Go for it!
I kept the horsie mainly because it's about 20 yrs newer so less likely to crap out at this point, has the auto on/off feature (a real advantage in my opinion), no pot/gearstrip to wear out, and to my ears sounds just as good as the crybaby for all styles. The crybaby is great though, and smaller.
No, but the horsie has a very good buffered bypass which is better than true bypass in some situations...not a bad idea to have one buffered bypass pedal somewhere in your chain to drive the signal through long cable runs and/or through multiple pedals. Having it at the front of my chain means I don't worry about signal loss even though most of my pedals are true bypass. At the end of this demo I compare these two bypassed and guitar straight to amp, you decide.
It's the standard configuration, nothing out of the ordinary, in other words it works with any power supply you're using for boss or most other pedals (9v, tip negative). Or a 9v battery.
Filter = eq. A wah sweeps an EQ (tone) midrange hump from low mid to high mid as you rock the pedal forward. Stop moving the pedal partway down, notes don't go wah anymore, they sound like you're playing though an eq set on extreme midboost. Rock forward a little more and stop, scooting the boost curve higher up in the midrange. When you match the mid boost to the tonal area where you're playing notes, it sounds nuts eh.
That effect actually starts 3:48, just up higher on the neck. It's the "filter" effect done with the wah pedal. See answer to your next question for an explanation. At 4:07 I'm just playing chords down low with that effect.
They're both quality built, but they have different features and they sound different. Metal players more often prefer morley; blues/rock/pop players more often prefer crybaby. But that's not a rule--I'm not a metal guy but the morley's auto-on/off decided it for me...both sound fine to me, I can do the same effects with either, which is what I tried to show in this vid. Decide which features YOU want & which sound you prefer. Take your guitar to a music store and try 'em all.
hmm i got a morley but i dont really like it it doenst have much power. i like to play hard rock u know and i dont hear the wahwah much pretty strange maybe its broke or something i dont know
At 4:54 in this demo you can hear what it should sound like with a hard rock amp setting. Assuming you have the Bad Horsie, take the back off and see if maybe some crud or something is blocking the little slit in the plastic piece that goes up and down between the light diodes when you rock the pedal. Also make sure the light diodes are not twisted out of place or something. Good luck.
Hey man please help me!!!! I have that Morley pro series 1 (the first) but the wah wave it´s not as wide as crybaby. But I think maybe i should get a better amp. What do you think about that Morley wah first series. Thank you so much for answer me lol
does anybody know if there is a wah out there with the ability to flip the pedal(pot) so that up is down and vise versa? I know im wierd but all wahs feel upside down to me! (without having to literally flip and rewire the pot)
Well that's a deep question. Players probably can't explain why they like what they like, and they probably shouldn't worry too much about it. Players who plug a guitar straight into an amp often seem to brag about it, and it's true that a guitar by itself is a beautiful thing. What it depends on is what YOU THE PLAYER wants to hear blasting into the air. It's all just different kinds of noise. If it feels good do it. If it don't, don't. :) Thanks for stopping by.
Also as a secondary consideration there's something to be said for providing a variety of different sounds for an audience at a show of any length, or on a record. Helps keep their interest. But that's just a side benefit, the music itself should dictate your decision about which guitar, amp, effects (and notes!) to use on any given tune.
hi, i bought a crybaby classic yesterday and it worked fine, but know it's hard to pretty much use, as if there was some friction and i'm pretty pissed cause i didn't get to use it much, is it a common problem, did it ever happen to you? do u know how to fix it?
Never heard of that. take the back off and see if there's something stuck in the path of the mechanics (pedal, gear strip, etc.). If not it's probably the potentiometer, return it.
The morley has a little cleaner bypass. Neither is particularly noisy. Both cost a little bottom when engaged, especially the dunlop, but that's not a problem in a band setting because guitar lives in the midrange.
whats better for distorted guitar?

@juanesrp961009 A few wah pedals do have a switchable distortion feature, but wah and distortion are two completely different effects. Neither of the wah pedals in this demo include distortion. I switch on the Marshall distortion separately at about 3:00 I believe.

in your gibson the brigde is gold, right?
with the time that doesn't turn like silver?
pansy954 1 year ago
All the hardware including bridge is gold plate over silver metal; durability depends on the quality of the plating job and the amount of abuse, sweat, and rubbing it takes. Bridge gets the most hand contact so naturally will lose its plating faster than other parts. I don't know how the quality/thickness of the plating on this era Les compares to past years. If it sat in a corner it would stay gold, if that's what you're asking.

Does this pedal work on a bass?
xratser 2 years ago
Any pedal will work for bass. Pedals designed specifically for bass typically just are tweaked a little in the low end to let more of that through. The Bad Horsie is already pretty bottom friendly, the Crybaby cuts quite a bit of bottom when engaged. If you're doing a bass solo with wah that's no problem, it will move you to the midrange to cut through drums etc.. If you're wanting to carry the bottom while wah-ing, may want to look at the Horsie, or a pedal designed for bass.

Which do you prefer?
DivineCheezit 2 years ago
I kept the horsie mainly because it's about 20 yrs newer so less likely to crap out at this point, has the auto on/off feature (a real advantage in my opinion), no pot/gearstrip to wear out, and to my ears sounds just as good as the crybaby for all styles. The crybaby is great though, and smaller.
MissingLincolnK 2 years ago
@MissingLincolnK Thanks
DivineCheezit 2 years ago
@MissingLincolnK Oh and are either of them true bypass?
DivineCheezit 2 years ago
No, but the horsie has a very good buffered bypass which is better than true bypass in some situations...not a bad idea to have one buffered bypass pedal somewhere in your chain to drive the signal through long cable runs and/or through multiple pedals. Having it at the front of my chain means I don't worry about signal loss even though most of my pedals are true bypass. At the end of this demo I compare these two bypassed and guitar straight to amp, you decide.
MissingLincolnK 2 years ago
can the craybaby just take a battery/any power supply or does it have 2 b the dunlop 1?
traindude95 2 years ago
It's the standard configuration, nothing out of the ordinary, in other words it works with any power supply you're using for boss or most other pedals (9v, tip negative). Or a 9v battery.

bondman00794 2 years ago
9 1/8 long x 5 3/4 inches wide. About 4 inches high at the pedal's highest point off the floor.
MissingLincolnK 2 years ago
btw, whats a filter effect
LesPauI94 2 years ago
Filter = eq. A wah sweeps an EQ (tone) midrange hump from low mid to high mid as you rock the pedal forward. Stop moving the pedal partway down, notes don't go wah anymore, they sound like you're playing though an eq set on extreme midboost. Rock forward a little more and stop, scooting the boost curve higher up in the midrange. When you match the mid boost to the tonal area where you're playing notes, it sounds nuts eh.
MissingLincolnK 2 years ago
Hey, I realllly like the tone of the chords you were playing around 4:07- 4:15. How did you get that tone(woman tone)? is it the pedal or the amp?
LesPauI94 2 years ago
That effect actually starts 3:48, just up higher on the neck. It's the "filter" effect done with the wah pedal. See answer to your next question for an explanation. At 4:07 I'm just playing chords down low with that effect.

which is better morley wahwah or cry baby wah wah?
samvanderveen 2 years ago
They're both quality built, but they have different features and they sound different. Metal players more often prefer morley; blues/rock/pop players more often prefer crybaby. But that's not a rule--I'm not a metal guy but the morley's auto-on/off decided it for me...both sound fine to me, I can do the same effects with either, which is what I tried to show in this vid. Decide which features YOU want & which sound you prefer. Take your guitar to a music store and try 'em all.
MissingLincolnK 2 years ago
hmm i got a morley but i dont really like it it doenst have much power. i like to play hard rock u know and i dont hear the wahwah much pretty strange maybe its broke or something i dont know
samvanderveen 2 years ago
At 4:54 in this demo you can hear what it should sound like with a hard rock amp setting. Assuming you have the Bad Horsie, take the back off and see if maybe some crud or something is blocking the little slit in the plastic piece that goes up and down between the light diodes when you rock the pedal. Also make sure the light diodes are not twisted out of place or something. Good luck.
MissingLincolnK 2 years ago
@samvanderveen How do u have ur pedals connected? It makes a difference!
Most hard rock/Metal players set up Guitar to Distortion to wah.....Blues/Softer rock set up Guitar to Wah to Distortion, Hope this helps.

whats so good whit wah-wah? do u REALY need it or Fuzz or it depends on style ur playing?
Sakeroz 2 years ago
Well that's a deep question. Players probably can't explain why they like what they like, and they probably shouldn't worry too much about it. Players who plug a guitar straight into an amp often seem to brag about it, and it's true that a guitar by itself is a beautiful thing. What it depends on is what YOU THE PLAYER wants to hear blasting into the air. It's all just different kinds of noise. If it feels good do it. If it don't, don't. :) Thanks for stopping by.
MissingLincolnK 2 years ago
Also as a secondary consideration there's something to be said for providing a variety of different sounds for an audience at a show of any length, or on a record. Helps keep their interest. But that's just a side benefit, the music itself should dictate your decision about which guitar, amp, effects (and notes!) to use on any given tune.
MissingLincolnK 2 years ago
hi, i bought a crybaby classic yesterday and it worked fine, but know it's hard to pretty much use, as if there was some friction and i'm pretty pissed cause i didn't get to use it much, is it a common problem, did it ever happen to you? do u know how to fix it?
fulivius 2 years ago
Never heard of that. take the back off and see if there's something stuck in the path of the mechanics (pedal, gear strip, etc.). If not it's probably the potentiometer, return it.

The morley has a little cleaner bypass. Neither is particularly noisy. Both cost a little bottom when engaged, especially the dunlop, but that's not a problem in a band setting because guitar lives in the midrange.
