I recently found an old Dunlop Crybaby Wah pedal that I’d had lying around for the past 20 years. The thing was in horrible shape and I had forgotten I even had it, let alone used it. Since I didn’t really have anything to lose by doing so, I ended up deciding that this might make a good project pedal to modify. That being the case, I decided to go ahead and do the true bypass mod, which eliminates the “tonesucking” that takes place without it (high end frequencies bleed off passing through the pedal), and to add an LED indicator light as the first modification. Here’s the story of how I did it.
