A wah pedal is at the top of my wishlist right now. I have been borrowing a crybaby from my friend and it sounds great, but I am wondering if I could get a similar effect with a cheaper wah pedal. Do you feel like the high price of a crybaby is worth it, or do they all sound the same?

    High price? Not sure qhere you are, but you can usually pick up a used one for like $40-$50 if you keep your eye out on facebook marketplace/kijiji/craigslist/etc.

    I usually recommend that people buy a used gcb95 (standard issue dunlop crybaby), and then just mod it to your specs. Google “stinkfoot wah mods” and go from there.

    My $40 wah that I’ve been using for like 15 years now kicks the pants out of all the high end, boutique wahs I’ve played.
