pfff ... THE Reference pedal wha to cheap!
Indestructible (see "Global Opinion")

UTILIZATION

Once we understand the timing walk / play with a pick ... means any interest in this wonderful effect.
Like all effects not abuse it.
Useful
<ul>

a more expressive solo (Slash on the second part of "Sweet Child o 'Mine" !!!!),

an original theme song ("Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" Hendrix)

funky rhythms ("Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" Hendrix, "Papa Was a Rollin 'Stone" The Temptations and the unforgettable "Shaft" by Isaac Hayes)

colorful accompaniments (wha blocked the middle position of "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits, "Sister" by Lenny Kravitz, "Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against the Machine)

special effects ("Enter Sandman" by Metallica in the intro and the end of first chorus)

</ul>

The WHA is required if you love 70's music which is rock or disco or funk.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with my guitars.
I prefer it as a complement to overdrive / distortion rather than clear. The Cry Baby is actually excellent in distos: it is aptly named because it screams like a bitch!
For clear sound, I would use instead a vox, but my tastes.

His biggest fault is not having a true bypass: ie that the sound changes when the guitar is plugged into effect (although the effect is off). It's a financial decision Dunlop to be competitive. It will cost about 5 € an hour and welding and preparation to do this "mod" (modification) on a very popular Dunlop, guaranteed results. If you have the means and want to avoid this problem, take the Dunlop 535Q.
When I was young I did not know this story of true bypass, and I had noticed a difference. My trick was to let the effect wha lit clear: I had a kind of channel and "bright".

OVERALL OPINION

Long ago I had my Crybaby (so that I do not remember most how). She was there to calm wah my feet was the love and the funky sound, you know. For solo rocks, she howled like a dog's happiness.
One day, nothing ... on / off switch broke.

Hard, I went to the electronics store closest to my village and I was not a switch-button-but rocking: one side is a hand off. So I made a hole in the side of the drill with the Crybaby Dad (and under the protective eye). And there I had a Crybaby in the world: that we could leave in the locked position in the middle of the race by turning the effect.
THE class.

But I did wrong welds and a day of crushing force and hacks, over wah over Crybaby My sadness was so deep. So I went to the capital, in the district of Pigalle. I was so ashamed, but I bought a Vox to a mac. I liked the Vox stronger and I did not rush the Crybaby in the bottom of a carton.
It was 15 years ago.

There's a year, my mother asked me if she could throw the box with Crybaby wrote on it ... My heart jumped and I said no, I brought with me in his coffin. I opened it, checked the battery and installation (with all the resources of the Internet today) only to realize that I exchanged two son on the rotary Potz! I reconnected and it is with emotion that I put my boots over heels ... and recovered to Crybaby wah-wah without shyness!

So to honor him, I replaced the switch with a true bypass, and plugged the hole in the side by a ch'tite blue light to tell me that the effect is on (the blink of an eye fate). I removed the input buffer, and replaced two resistors (Modz) to redo the one it was.

All that to say that I am in love with a pedal! Waaaaah!
