I've got the crybaby, It's really rugged and there's no plasticy parts to it i think. I've dropped it a bunch and it seems to still work.
One of my friends is looking for a wah pedal and I don't have enough personal experience to advise him.
He's a dyed in the wool bluesman, with a dash of jazz. The rockiest he ever gets is SRV.
He wants a wah with a vintage sound that is rugged as hell. He went to a local store and they showed him something with cheap plastic fittings and lots of chrome knobs so he can "DIAL IN ANY TONE YOU WANT! IT'LL DO ANYTHING! REALLY!"
Anybody got any experience I can pass along to him?

I've also got a crybaby, i like it alot. if youopen up the bottom you can adjust the trim pot and make the 'wah' happen earlier or later, should you feel the need to change it.
He looked at a crybaby but there was something he didn't like. I'll talk to him again and see if I can post more specific into.Originally Posted by JaySimon

I have one of the Crybaby's from when Jim Dunlop first took it on.
I've had it for a long time. I've heard other people say they are prone to breakdowns but I've never had any trouble with it and it sounds great.
theres also different models of the crybaby, I dunno what the difference is, but one cost like $100 more than another:confused-smiley-010Originally Posted by Wild Bill

Try a Vox 847, it's a nice pedal and easy to modify for true bypass and such. Dunlops boards require more to TB and I like the sound of the vox over a crybaby anyway unless it's an older thomas organ crybaby.
I have a Trinity, made by Jaques Stompboxes (check it), the Wah is very vocal and responsive, it's more expensive than a crybaby though.
Actually the wah(s) I'm using these days are models in the Vox Tonelab SE.
My Crybaby is in a box in the van.
The models in the Vox are perfect for me.
Teese picture wah. Very vintage sounding. High quality boutique build. I use one. True bypass and 9V external power or battery.
