The V847A, V845, GCB-535Q, and GCB-95F are surface mount pedals and more difficult to work on. Add $10 for these.
*Sorry, we do not do full mods for the Dimebag Darrell Crybaby From Hell, Slash Wah, Hendrix Fuzz Wah, Mr. Crybaby Vol./Wah, Rackmount Crybaby (DCR-2SR), or "switchless" wah pedals.
We can perform the following modifications:
True Bypass
Wah pedals are notorious "tone suckers." When your wah is not on but still plugged into your amp or pedal chain, your guitar's signal still has to pass through the circuitry of the wah.This robs tone quality...especially the high frequency range. True bypass eliminates tone sucking! We replace your old footswitch with a 3PDT. This allows us to rewire your wah in a way that allows the sound to travel around the circuitry. 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.
Sweep Mod
Improves the EQ of the sweep. Makes it sound less thin and "trebly".
Vocal Mod
Adds more vocal quality, makes it sound more like it wants to talk.

Volume Boost Mod
Did you ever notice your volume level drops slightly when you swich to the wah effect? Not anymore! This mod brings up the volume level of the wah effect to match the same sound level as your clean sound.
Gain and Bass Response Mod
Adds a little gain and bass, gives it a little growl.
Midrange Mod
Increase the mids and helps smooth out the response between bass and treble.
Volume Pedal Mod
We have replaced our toggle switch with a soft touch push button switch.
Push the button to use your wah a s a volume pedal, Push it again to go back to wah. Use your finger, or the side of your foot if you like. You can control volume while keeping your hands free!
*Note: The pedal starts out with some volume, not zero volume.
Also, the tone is slightly darker.
LED Mod
Is this thing on? We can add an ultra clear/blue Led to your wah.
You can get "The Works" for $89.99.
That's true bypass, five circuit mods, volume pedal mod, and an added LED! $12 covers the return shipping and handling if you live in the USA. *We can also replace your inductor or your potentiometer. If you are getting "The Works" we will replace these items for you at no extra charge. This means free labor, not free parts. You can send the parts with your pedal, or just ask ahead of time if you would like for us to order these parts for you in advance.
Optional mods:
-We can drill a half inch hole and install a standard 9 volt power jack in your USA made V847 or old model Cry Baby for an additional $10.
-Rotary Sweep Cap gives you a choice of four different values, installed for $42.
-Q Control is an extra control knob that lets you choose the amount of vocal quality you like. Installed for $38.
We also sell these pedals- refurbished and already modified! Contact: modestmike@att.net for more info!
