Value For Money : Poor
Dunlop wah wah pedals, rdition the original cry baby marketed by Thomas Organ in the 70's.
PDAL of SERIES, no cblage hand, but with analog components and inducing low-end, no bypass cblage true (for once, like the original ;-) possibility of connect sector, which is apprciable

UTILIZATION

Like all Wahs, trs simple.
rem: Race potentiomtre long compared to the original or vox (the original and 847) which gives a wider range ACCS frequency drives but ...

SOUND QUALITY

But ...
the sound is not terrible ... sincrement
Range frequency drives is larger but not really usable: acute trs screaming, sick people who want to throw low, muddy or even inaudible.
It has been a frquences mdium modulation (wah) but bump increases.
The sound is cold and not very subtle trs, trs screaming, no voice. Tone is the trs ugly, no hoarse trs, we are far from the original!
In his clear and beginners "crank" is what I've heard worse. The 847 is better (but nothing do with the original).
IN overdrive is a bit better, saturation, even better, but still largely trs of the original.
It just boosts the sound level which is apprciable solo, but the rendering is mdiocre.

OVERALL OPINION

I jou for years (purchased in 1994 by grinding the crmaillre ...), the knob for an optimal and blocking the race to avoid going in the lower too muddy.
can switch to a saturation but the tonality is great.
not true bypass but I do not care (my original are not ...)
Now I swear on the original.

the +: indestructible steel case
the -: what is the indoor (j'exagre a little but not as a. ..)

CHRE too for what it is. Premire but good approach. For players express, remain the cart (like the 847) unless you can change them. Otherwise, aim Fulltone or RMC, or even the most addicted or cicadas, aim for vintage (and cross your fingers, is getting the right numro ...)

I have two that I modified: Halo Fulltone inductor or banzai (bc better ...), knob Fulltone ICAR, in true bypass wiring, tropical fish or 0.022 0.028 F, new values ​​of Resistors, CONTRL frequency drives to the beach, the CONTRL Q. Rsultats unrelated PDAL not change, good tonality but lacks precision especially in light / cranck. I love the changes with Fulltone ICAR, cap O, OO22 TF. But ... still far from the original.

among those I possde, my ranking: clyde 67 (the grail ...), jen crybaby end 60 (the same 846 Italian), Thomas Organ beginners 70 (super hoarse voice, hot right now ... my usual), jen 70 double beginners sound, cry baby changing, vox 847, dunlop crybaby.
