Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 13, 2009 Likely will need to clean that pot. Nice find! Thanks. I'm sure I will need to replace the pot. Luckily, I've been through that with my Crying Tone Wah (non-Fuzz version), and it's an easy fix. Now I have to decide if I want to sell off my first Crying Tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jhamnett Posted March 13, 2009 Members Share Posted March 13, 2009 Reverse sweep switch, eh? Neato. Don't think that'd be too hard to add to any wah, just reverse the outside wires leading to the pot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Snufkino Posted March 13, 2009 Members Share Posted March 13, 2009 But would it have all of the 70s mojo ? No, but I'd be able to afford one. I think a new EHX fuzz-wah would be pretty cool though. I'm surprised they haven't done it already to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wyatt Posted March 13, 2009 Members Share Posted March 13, 2009 Does anyone know much about it? Which Muff circuit does it use? Is it the Little Muff Pi circuit? IIRC, it is the same fuzz as the Muff Fuzz/Little Muff Pi... Also, IIRC, the wah tone isn't much to write home about, but that's more of a subjective choice.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 Not the best demo I've done by a long shot, but it's all I had time to put together today. When I have a bit more time on hand, I'll try to record something that really shows the range of this gem. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7468131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 Price?:poke: Not quite ready to sell her off, if ever. I am, however, debating if I should sell off my other Crying Tone Wah (non-fuzz version). Problem is, I put a lot of time and energy into restoring it, and I doubt that I will get back what I put into it because they aren't selling well on eBay right now. But if I wait a few years...?

Members gnatshel Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 thanks for the demo. half way in i thought you were playing "she talks to angels". what are your thoughts on the pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 what are your thoughts on the pedal? Very versatile, especially for a pedal built 30+ years ago. You can use the Muff Fuzz alone, without the wah, or vice versa. Used together, I can get that Swervedriver-like scream that I love so much. The Muff Fuzz circuit definitely comes before the wah in the circuit, so it has an almost synth-like quality in the tone. I love the fact that each section has its own pushbutton switch. It's very easy to stomp both on/off simultaneously. The 4-way rotary selector is way ahead of its time - I use the middle-high frequency position the most, but I used the mid-low frequency for the 3rd section of the demo. Again, it's very synthesizer-like, even when the Muff Fuzz is disengaged. I'd like to try out the low-frequency position on my bass guitar. The pedal arrived in pretty rough condition. The treadle pot was very scratchy. I replaced it with a 100k linear Alpha, and that worked like a charm. I sprayed a bit of WD-40 in the hinge of the treadle, and it took the squeak clean out. The other pots were fine - no problems. These treadle enclosures are huge, heavy, and super-rugged. Stuff just isn't built like this anymore.
