From Modest Mike’s Mods

This listing is for our fully modified Cry Baby GCB-95... Plus!  

All of our modified pedals are warrantied as new!

We can also modify your pedal! Just call or send me a quick email, see the last picture here for information on mod services (business card).

Check out the reviews at sites like The Gear Page, Harmony Central, Telecaster Guitar Forum, Strat-Talk.com, Pedal-of-the-day.com, The Amp Garage, Noisy Music, Ultimate Guitar.com, and even TalkBass.com, and GBase.com. Quality workmanship, great customer service, low prices, and the sound! Nobody beats Modest Mike's Mods! 

 We took a new in the box GCB-95 and did all of the following mods:

*True Bypass!

Does a wah pedal affect your chain of sound when you turn it off? Is it a tonesucker? Unless it has true bypass, the answer is an emphatic YES! These pedals are notorious tone suckers. Normally when the wah is not on but still plugged into your amp or pedal chain, your guitar's signal still has to pass through the circuitry. This robs tone quality...especially the high frequency range.

True bypass eliminates tone sucking! 

We replaced the stock foot switch with a new 3PDT. This lets us rewire in a way that allows the sound to travel around the circuitry. When you are switched off of the wah effect, your guitar's signal will now go into the input of your wah and straight out the output jack to your amp, or next effect pedal. 

Once this was done, we added a little magic!  

*Sweep Mod

Adds better EQ to the the sweep, makes it sound a little less thin and "trebly".

*Vocal Mod

Adds more vocal quality. Makes it sound like it wants to talk!

*Volume Boost Mod

Did you ever notice… the volume level drops a little when you click on a wah effect? Not any more! This mod brings up the volume level of the wah to match the volume level of your clean sound.

*Gain and Bass Response Mod

Adds a little gain and bass to the wah. This enhances the clean sounds, but you just gotta crank up the amp and add some dirt for a little growl!

*Midrange Mod

Increases the mids and helps to smooth out the response between the bass and treble.

*Volume Pedal Mod

This mod allows you to use your wah as a volume pedal! If you have seen our modified wahs before, you will notice this is a new feature. We have replaced the toggle switch we once used with an easy to use push button switch. When the button is pushed in your pedal is a wah pedal. Push the button again, and you get the volume pedal effect. You can use the side of your foot to activate this if you like, instead of reaching down to control it by hand.

When you rock the pedal all the way back, the volume is very low. Just rock the pedal forward for swells, to set your overall volume level, or to use as a clean boost.   

*LED Mod

"Is this thing on?" We added a water/clear blue Led. The LED is clear when off, a nice noticeable blue when on.

Waht more could you ask for?

The plus!

We also put in a Hot Potz 2 potentiometer, and a Dunlop Red Fasel inductor. These parts are top sellers, and quite often we get requests for these specific upgrades. Usually these requests are from musicians who want to squeeze every ounce of goodness they can from this pedal. So we went ahead and got a few of these ready in advance.

Here is a video clip of one of our modified GBC-95 pedals. This was before we switched our volume pedal toggle switch over to the push button switch we have now. Take a listen, and I just can't emphasize this enough...

"Very pleased, GREAT job! I’ve already told 2 friends about you and will definitely spread the word!"

 "Man,that blue LED...I turned it on in my bedroom it was dusk outside...that thing lit up the whole room! And the volume mod is perfect.

Much appreciated Mike! I’ll be in touch."

 “The wah mod is awesome! Loving it already and haven’t even hooked into my cabinet with my band! Just played through a little crate practice amp but I can tell a big difference!

Thanks again, the wah is wicked!”

  "Hi Mike,
I wanted to thank you for doing such a good job on my Vox Wah pedal. I appreciate the extra effort you put into helping me get a sound that I like.
I will be spreading your name around those who are looking for someone who does good quality work. Someone like you. Thanks again.
I hope you will come hear us sometime. 

In Christ,
Karl"

"Hey Mike!
  I am very happy with my fully modded crybaby GCB95!!! It has helped shape my sound immensely since I got it back from you...Myself and my band mates are asking how I did without this thing except on 1 or 2 songs before!!! I use it at least a little bit on nearly every song we play...whether it be for a ripping solo or as a volume/gain pedal when I need it...love it man!"

"Awesome Product. Incredible Tone. Happy customer here."

"DUUUDE!

We did our mod on a Dunlop "Jimmy Cantrel" wah. Darin just picked it up and sent us back this email:

"The wah sounded great!"

Darin and his band nighTTrain just did a gig in Kansas City in front of 20,000 people! Can you imagine that?

David got one of our Cry Baby mods and also one of our MXR Dyna Comp mods:

"Mike,

The pedals are AMAZING.  They both sound fantastic.  Great job. 

Let me know on whether there is a mod for my vintage DOD Phasor 401. 

Thanks again.

Dave"

"Got the pedal today!!!!  Right on man!!!!   

Thanks again Mike!"

"Got the wah last night! Ripped open the box, plugged it up. YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB! I myself, have been a AV bench tech for over 30 yrs. You not only have good ears, but it also takes good technical knowledge of filters EQ's, gain,  attenuation etc. to. I'll refret a Strat or a Les Paul before i'll tear into a pedal. I may get a schematic if it doesn't work. Again great work!

PS. Sent a few more pic's. One, is my PA cabinets I built after I completed them, 1 1/2 yrs. ago. Since I added 2 more mids and 2 subs, and has 10KW in the gas tank! The other, is my guitar rig at a show I did in Louisville, with Danny Johnson of Steppenwolf."

Jerry

"Dude you are the man!! The wah is great has never sounded so good! Had that wah since high school and it broke my heart when it failed. I will send the chorus and other wah next. By the way the metal pedal KICKS ASS no more hiss like the old days. Much cleaner sound."

From Russia:
"Hello Mike!
I received pedal today. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. It's a great pedal, really true wah ;)
Nick"

"Hey Mike----The Wah sounds fantastic! Rob"

"Hey Mike:
I got a chance to REALLY give the new wah a test drive today ... WOW!  That thing is freakin' incredible!
I've never played through a wah with anywhere near the range of that pedal. The amount of voicing heard for just 1/4" of travel is as much as MANY of the pedals I've played for the full throw. And, most importantly, it sounds fantastic.  
Thanks again - great work! Mike"

 "Impeccable work Mike! Thank you! A winning Clyde McCoy is in the house! Bravo!"
Chris

“Mike, the Crybaby Wah sounds amazing!!! It's exactly what I envisioned when I sent you the pedal to mod! Thank you sir!! And if anyone needs a pedal modded I will definitely recommend you! Beau (saturn8 on eBay)”

"Hi Mike,
I can't thank you enough for the fabulous job you did on my Cry Baby wah pedal. The mods are fantastic and the pedal works like a charm. In addition, I would like to thank you for going above and beyond by fixing and rewiring the battery issue! You are a class act. I will definitely be recommending you to my friends here in the New York metropolitan area.
Thanks again, Mike...I look forward to doing business with you in the future.
Jim"

"Hey Mike, It's Paul G here, I can't thank you enough for the work you put in on this guy and how reasonable your price for such good work was of course! Just showed up quick as can be, and sounds amazing. Such an impressive boost in tone and range all around, and utterly ideal with the volume and adapter mods. You can be sure that I'll be recommending you up and down! Can't wait to get it on stage. I'll be in touch again I'm sure, best of luck and please keep up the great work."

"The absolute best sounding wah I've ever heard! After 2 days of testing I can honestly say this was an excellent purchase. This is the epitome of wah sound, where it should always have been. You do great work brother. I'll write you a stellar review for your page if you'd like."
You just wrote a stellar review. Thanks Charles!

From Dave:

Hi Mike, 

I just wanted to say thanx for the fantastic job you did on the Rat and the Cry Baby, I love the way the Rat sounds and the Wah /Volume mod is amazing!

From eBay member toolman2674:

Very fast shipping. I LOVE the sweep on this thing!! Excellent work A++++

“Hey there Mike,

I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the Mod you performed on my old Dunlop Wah. Awesome stuff! First off, the pedal sounds fantastic. Functionally perfect as well. Secondly though and more importantly, the customer service you provide takes a back seat to no one. Great communication, super fast turn-around, extras thrown in.......I couldn't be more satisfied!  This won't be the last time you hear from me.

Rock on!

Jack"
