Did you play an Uber Metal through your wah at the very end?

I am hoping to mod a gcb 95 soon and that high gain wah sound was perfect ... I hope my end result will sound as good.

yeah its a line 6 uber metal pedal, along with an ibanez lf7 lofi pedal which i didn't demo.

[SebastianDavidMusic]

So? did it sound better or not?

Regards

[Cappi666]

A lot better.

It gives a much cleaner sweep through the frequencies than the stock inductor.

the stock inductor makes it sound like an 'oo-ah' pedal than a 'wah' pedal, as the frequencies in between the heel and toe down on the pedal disappear.

is that an orginal crybaby? 69 bucks? mine has a dark red FASEL inductor alredy in it ... i jus bought it from guitarcenter...

[Cappi666]

No it's a reissue

[Bujorock]

Thanks a lot! Very useful!

the replacement boards -even the cheapest of these- I've noticed have the Fasel in them. I got mine out of a pawn shop dumpster where they had trashed the circuit board- but the housing/pedal is -of course- bulletproof- so I've got to find a board or build one- thanks for providing some explanation, appreciate ya

@msuman91 just bought one and it has red fasel too so i guess they changed the new pedals to this? sounds waaaaayyy better than my bros pedal which has old style so i am happy with it!!

[6stringzstrummin]

@RUNnGUNify i had same thing!! opened brand new pedal up and has red fasel in it!! no true bypass though but still i wonder why it has the red fasel? i am happy with it. and i am not kinning my bro has same pedal and his has the stock one so did i luck out or am i missing something? plus u had the true bypass!! wow even better than i got. sweet!!

[tubeamplifiers]

Nice video, thanks for sharing. Just one criticism. Pliers to remove the jack bolts ಠ_ಠ

[RUNnGUNify]

wt f i open my brand new gcb 95 and its true bypass with a red fasel inductor!

[acdcandnerf]

thanks for posting this video it helped so much and now my wah sounds so much better

I did a similar thing, but with my laptop. Didn't really know what I was doing or what I was looking for. I managed to put it back together. Doesn't work as well now. I'm thinking of getting myself a fasel wah. Clyde wah's are meant to be great. But I might go with a Dunlop Crybaby Classic Fasel wah. They're going quite cheap on eBay.

@Cappi666

line6 pedals?

very harsh and brittle sounding,

but that's just with my ears.

i don't like digital pedals

[InfinityTracer]

Thanks alot for the vid, but what do you think about the yellow fasel? Have you tried that one?
