Jerry Cantrell wah

[the guy who invented fire]

Two questions to those that know...

Buffers like typical Crybaby or no buffers like a Hendrix wah?

True bypass or old school bypass??

Buffered, non-TB.

It's a GCB-95 in there with a different sweep cap (.012uf) and a second pot hooked to the main pot to cut off top end in the sweep. Actually amazing how much those two tiny changes make the vanilla GCB-95 much more usable.

Buffered bypass, but it doesn't seem to suck tone like my old GCB-95 did. Not entirely sure why as it's still the same buffer circuit so far as I know?

I'll leave this thread up for the hell of it but I'm out...buffered wahs don't do well with my rig so I'm out...bummer too, I sort of dig the clips I was finding...

If you dig the sound of it you can be bypass it as easily as any GCB-95.

There are too many cool wahs out there for me to want to drop $160 on a JC95 then mod it plus the new Dunlop wahs aren't great for modding IMHO...too many of them have issues after mods that involve traces lifting and stuff like that...

Just look for a true bypass wah that has a potentiometer to fine tune the toe end of the sweep.
