Jim Dunlop Original Cry Baby Wah

Rock, funk and metal, they use some wah-wah pedals, think of the classic 70's car chase music.
Or many instrumental guitar players use it to add a vocal quality to their playing.
Without a doubt the Jim Dunlop Cry Baby series is one of the most sold series of wah pedals.
Mainly because alot of players have their own signature wah, think of Zakk Wylde or Slash.
Now, the signature ones can really eat up your wallet so I decided to get the original one, also the most affordable one.

What I like about this pedal is:
-Very easy to use.
-Good construction.
-Sensitivity of the switch is exactly right, meaning that it won't turn off when it's not supposed to.
-Overall, not a bad sounding wah.
-Great quality for that low price.
-Adds up to your sound.

It's very easy to use because it's just a switch and a foot pad, no hours of dialling in your sound.
Also, the construction is very good, one bad thing about the construction is that my power supply doesn't really sit in the socket very well, causing a loud plopping sound sometimes, but once it's in there, it stays.
The sound is pretty killer, only thing I would've added was a bit more growling mid range frequency, and a wider foot control.
And the one really annoying thing about it, is that it squeeks, but a little oil might help that.

What you get is, a great bang for the buck and some wild improvement of your sound.
