Cry Baby True Bypass Pedal Mod
Don't let one pedal ruin your tone!
Make your Cry Baby true bypass for a clearer tone.
Nothing is worse than the dreaded "tone suck". This is when your pedals muffle and change your tone when they are OFF! Cry Baby wahs are notorious for this—plug yours in and you'll instantly lose highs, dynamics, and clarity.
You don't need a new pedal. Mod your Cry Baby and fix it forever!
It's easier than you think to get your tone back. With this mod you'll install a true bypass switch, removing the buffer that colors your tone. Now when the pedal is off, your tone will be exactly how you want it.
It's more than just a schematic
We include step-by-step instructions for this mod with detailed pictures. Each step is fully illustrated in color with close-up views of every solder joint, component placement, and lug location.
And we even include directions on how to solder! If you get stuck, give our techs a call—we'll walk you through it.
