From Modest Mike’s Mods  

This listing is for mod service. You send us your pedal, we perform the mod service and send your pedal back to you. We can modify the following wah pedals:

Dunlop GCB-95, GCB-95F, Jerry Cantrell, Zakk Wylde, Hendrix JH1 or JH1-B, VOX V847 (made in the USA Vox), V847-A (New Standard Vox), V845, V848 (Clyde McCoy), and Budda Bud-Wah.   

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!

Lots of mods going down here!

*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 replace the old 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 is done, we add 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. Sounds nice for mellow sounds, but also crank up your amp and add some dirt for a touch of growl!

*Midrange Mod

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

*Volume Pedal Mod

What's different???

We replaced our toggle switch with a soft touch push button switch! Just a push of this button allows you to use your wah as a volume pedal! When you rock the pedal all the way back, the volume is very low. Just rock the pedal forward for swells or just to set your overall volume level. 

Push the button again and you are back in wah mode. This can be done with your finger, or a slight tap with the side of your foot.

*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.

*These are not just generic "one mod fits all" mods. Each pedal is unique, mainly because transistor values can vary by 5-10%. We test after each mod and adjust to individual pedal sound.

I did this in a big hurry for a customer request. This is my LP through the pedals, and straight into my recorder. Both pedals were played on identical settings. A good amp will add some color, but I think this will give you an idea of the difference in tone. And I can't emphasize this enough...

USE YOUR HEADPHONES!

Awesome wah mod to my GCB95, sounds absolutely killer. Mike answered all my questions and was a pleasure to deal with. Excellent work and final product. Highly recommended all around.

On Thursday I was leaving for a gig. I checked the mailbox and was glad to see my pedal had arrived. 

I took it with me and it worked flawlessly. 

Thanks again!

Hi Mike,

Been meaning to email you all week but just wanted to say that I really love the wah!!! 

As soon as I plugged it in I could notice such a difference between the tone suck I used to get before. I feel like the EQ of the sweep is so much more dynamic and I love using the volume knob for swells. I have it first in my chain now before my fuzz face and I really love the ability to have it before the fuzz. This pedal is like night and day, and the LED is a really nice touch :). I don't know why they don't include those as standard issue tbh.

So I just wanted to say you have a very satisfied customer and have been telling people all week! :)

"Mike,

"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 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 just did a mod on a Dunlop "Jimmy Cantrel" wah. Darin just picked it up and later sent us an 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"

From Thomas

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

Thanks again Mike!"

"This is now the best wah that I have ever owned - thank you so much - I love the way it sounds!"

"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."

Robby

"Hey Mike,
Got my Cry Baby in the mail today and just wanted to say that it sounds fantastic. I've had a few wah's over the years and I can see this one sticking around for a long time. Can't wait to show it to the fellas. Thanks buddy.
Mark" 

Thanks for your business!

Mike
