hellion102792 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 My Crybaby (Original) doesn't sound too bad to my ears, but it's lacking something. I'm thinking of upgrading the pot to something that can give me a nice, clear, throaty sound without sucking up half my tone. Also, how hard do you think a true bypass mod would be for someone my level? By my level I mean that I'm in the level 1 electronics class at the Vo-tech building in my school, I can solder, and have access to resistors, caps, etc. Can anyone suggest a good pot?

BluesnBooze Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 If you can get a look inside a Keeley Modified VOX/CryBaby Wah, then those are great mods. When my eyesight became crap for soldering I stuffed my old VOX in a drawer and purchased a Keeley, it does everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellion102792 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 I couldn't find much on the Fulltone site, but I was able to find this. Is this the same as the stock pot? Or will this give me a different frequency range (hopefully one I'm looking for). Whether or not I change the pot, I'm probably gonna try some of the mods I found here as well.

FirstMeasure Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I put a Hot Potz (100K) in my Crybaby. I haven't compared it to any other After Market Pot but I like it better than it was. It had gotten so scratchy I couldn't hear it's original voice. With the Hot Potz it's quiter than it ever was and has a very Original sounding voice, with a little more of something. Here's a link to a Webshots Album of the repair. Hot Potz Mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
