Wah Mods (Part 1): True Bypass

ATTENTION, PLEASE READ!! If attempting this mod, then please go to the link at the end of this paragraph after completing what I've shown you in this video. http://media.stinkfoot.se/2010/11/pcb... Upon completing the instructions in this video, the final step in order to complete the true bypass mod is to switch the black 'clean input wire' with the green 'FX input wire' on the switch. And then finally you have to break the connection between the new black 'clean input wire' and the jack input terminal using a craft knife to scrape away the copper connection on the PCB; which is illustrated in the link above. You will be needing a long bush dpdt switch for this mod as well The GCB-95 pedal, along with a lot of other Jim Dunlop Crybaby wah pedals are not true bypass, and therefore effecting the tone of your instrument when the effect is turned off. This is called tonesucking, and the effect is that you lose some of the treble in your signal and lose a bit of gain as well. This is due to the fact that there is a stock SPDT switch and only allows one input into the unit that then has to run through the circuitry sapping your tone as it goes.
