THE LONG STORY
The first wah pedal designed by bass players for bass players. The 105Q incorporates a proprietary potentiometer and custom EQ circuitry specifically optimized for bass frequencies. The Cry Baby Bass Wah applies the wah effect to the mids and highs only, leaving a strong fundamental to hold down the bottom so you can take solos or throw in fills without ever disturbing your low end.
CONTROLS
VOLUME knob controls amount of gain added by BOOST switch, up to 20dB
VARIABLE Q knob adjusts frequency range of wah wah effect
BOOST switch increases output as set by VOLUME knob
Silent “auto-off” switching puts pedal into bypass mode when you take your foot off rocker
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Run an instrument cable from your guitar to the 105Q’s INSTRUMENT jack and another instrument cable from the 105Q’s AMPLIFIER jack into your amplifier’s input.
The 105Q is bypassed (off) whenever your foot is off the pedal. To turn it on, simply press the toe of the pedal down with your foot.
Set both the VOLUME control and the VARIABLE Q control fully counterclockwise.
Rock your foot back and forth on the pedal to hear the vocal, expressive tones that the Cry Baby Wah Wah is famous for.
Rotate the VARIABLE Q knob clockwise for a narrower frequency range to emphasize higher end harmonics or counterclockwise for a wider frequency range that emphasizes lower end harmonics.
To increase the 105Q’s output, engage the BOOST switch and rotate the VOLUME control clockwise to increase the amount of gain, up to +20dB, or counterclockwise to decrease it.
