I picked up a used crybaby today that's in desperate need of some TLC, but got it for next to nothing, so I figured it may be a good intro into modding pedals. Any advice on the following problems would be GREATLY appreciated!
Problems:
1. the sound is pret bass heavy, and you don't even get a real change in tone until your' 2/3 of the way through the travel, and even then it never gets really trebbley.
2. switch is hard to engage
3. pedal doesn't rock smoothly. It feels as though there is no (or little) lubrication in the joint between pedal & rocker.
4. there is a slight volume drop when the pedal is on.
I'm wanting to get this baby cooking with as little $$ investment as possible, and am willing to butcher it to any degree necessary.
FYI, my favorite wah tone would be Trey Anastasio of Phish, who I believe uses a Teese RMC-3.
Thanks,
