Stumbled upon a great Crybaby mod!

[DumbGuitarPlayer]

So I've modded my Crybaby to hell and back. Recently I stuck with only a few mods to make the wah more vocal and improve the midrange break.

So I replaced the C3 Cap which is a 50V 4.7uF Electrolytic with a 50V 10uF cap, as in my experience with modding things, upping the juice or lowering it usually has some interesting effects.

BOY was I surprised! My wah effect became more powerful, and had added punch.

I encourage anyone here who is interested to try it and tell me what you think!

The 10UF cap is that .10UF .I looked at 10UF caps on ebay and they seem really Big

It's an electrolytic cap. 10uF, 16V electrolytics are tiny.

I have a 10uf 100Volt will that work? I always get .10uf mixed up with 10uf

[DumbGuitarPlayer]

Yes it is 10uF, not .10. 100v rating will work.

Wha Mod

I did that changed the 4.7 to a 10uf and took out the "candy cane" caps that were making all that noise replaced with new .01 and .22 of different kinds.Its a really good SOD cry baby again Thanks to Jon for all his time on Metroamp I have learned enough to almost kill myself

I just did a series of mods to a client's stock Crybaby. His is a newer one, and I guess they started putting Fasel inductors in them again, because that's what was in his. The 4.7 - 10uF mod works even better with the Fasel.
