January 11, 2011 at 7:48 pm #113650CryabetesParticipant
for getting a treadle type control on a pedal, couldn’t you just use an expression out and a standard enclosure? I mean, yeah it might be a bit impractical but it’d get the job done and would open up options for swapping out LDRs and whatever.
January 11, 2011 at 8:29 pm #113653Mr.GrimMembertrue Cryabetes, but ive done that before and it works in most situations. but i have a couple ideas for circuits that a treadle type enclosure would be necessary. i mean, …wouldnt it be dumb if crybabys were made in a nano enclosure (the board would fit) but then they required you to get an expression pedal as well to be able to use it at all?
January 12, 2011 at 2:14 pm #113666CryabetesParticipantgod I kinda wish they would so I could arrange it [on the pedal board] to have the bypass switch in the ‘heel’ position. I don’t know whose brilliant idea it was to make it jump to max resonance upon turning on but every time I use one I get annoyed by that.

I use my wah more like a filter (with some subtle movement sometimes) not that wacka wacka stuff, so I think this will perfect.
January 12, 2011 at 3:08 pm #113669TheGhostMachinaMemberNo kidding about the switch in toe down position. I didn’t use a wah fer years because of the horrible resonance when engaged. Now I run it in an effects loop of my voodoo lab pedal switcher, so like Melx said, I can turn it on in any position I like. And I too use mine more as a filter. Hey Melx, what kinda wah do you use? I’m always looking for interesting filter type ideas!

January 12, 2011 at 3:31 pm #113670Mr.GrimMemberfor those of you interested in using a “crybaby” as a “fixed” filter…….have you seen this?!?!
its not made by Dunlop but theres a real Crybaby circuit in there!

Just a cheap regular crybaby I bought used and modded it.. did the ‘midrange’ & ‘vocal’ … & changed the sweep for less treble, also TB’d it with volume mod.
it has a really cool ‘wwwoooooooaaaawww’ sound now and is brilliant for creating feedback.
February 25, 2011 at 5:19 pm #114476Fender&EHX4everModeratorMy Talking Pedal just arrived this week. Demo to follow.

So far I can pronounce “yeah!” , “E I E I O” , and “Oy E Oy E O” .
