I just got my Crybaby back from John. It is a 20 year old pedal that I was about to throw out and I remembered that John does work on them. I contacted John via pm and he got right back to me and said to send it to him.
Onto the mods. He installed an input jack for external power. Great. I hate changing batteries. He did the Hendrix mod(68K) and the Mid Boost mod (2.2K). He applied appropriate lableing on the bottom of the case and installed a battery clip in case I use it outside my pedal board.
Now onto the sound. I would post a clip, except I suck and I don't know how to make a recording on the computer to boot. So I plug this thing in set on clean channel and just strum a few chords and work the pedal a bit. The heel position is quite warm like a neck pickup on a LP. The toe position is bright and sharp without being too harsh. But where this pedal shines is in the middle to near toe position. Holy crap. It sounds great. The sweep of the wah effect is a million times better than it used to be to my ears.
If anyone has been considering getting their wah modded by John, do it. You will be happy you did.
The turn around was inside a week. John has great communication skills and will do exactly as you ask. All, for what I considered a stupid cheap price.
Thanks John. You ROCK!!! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/band.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] He truly is JG Capable!!
