Cry Baby: The Pedal That Rocks The World Pt 3/4

Cry Baby: The Pedal That Rocks The World tells the story of the wah wah effect pedal, from its invention in 1966 to the present day. Musicians, engineers, and historians discuss the impact of the pedal on popular music and demonstrate the various ways it has been used, as well as how its evolution has improved the ability of artists to express themselves musically. The film features interviews with Brad Plunkett, the inventor of the pedal, plus many other musical luminaries such as Ben Fong-Torres, Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Buddy Guy, Art Thompson, Eddie Kramer, Kirk Hammett, Dweezil Zappa, and Jim Dunlop. These professionals explain how a musical novelty transcended convention and has become timelessly woven into the fabric of modern pop-culture.

That senior editor dude, Art Something, his beady eyed head is just... really.... something. He looks some kind of bland robot dead eyed creation of something else equally bland... no features in his face or voice. He's off putting.

My Thomas Organ - Organ, model Californian 263 is a wonder to behold. Full of TDK inductors, the 262 was introduced in 1973 with it's built in genuine wah pedal ( listen to my post of Harry Wach Californian Here I Come sides A & B) and it is housed in a little metal box and mounted to the left of the organs volume pedal. It's frequency range appears to be broader than my guitar playing wah experiences, but not certain. The wah begins where the volume reaches max vol, but you can adjust. Awesome!
