GCB-95 Wah Mod: Fasel Inductor

Dunlop Red Fasel InductorLast week I talked about Fasel Inductors in Wahs, and also featured a few that have the Fasel out of the box. For those of you that are looking to change up your Wah tone, and you have the Original Dunlop CryBaby (GCB-95) here is a quick easy tutorial video on how to replace the stock inductor and add a Fasel Inductor.

This is a really easy modification to do, I would say the hardest point is the de-soldering, but this video uses a good technique on getting the old inductor out.

For those that are interested there a couple of Fasel inductors to choose from the Red and Yellow. The Yellow is for a more “vintage” sound, Red is for a more “clean” sound.  I did this mod (plus a few others) to my wah, and it sounds WAY better than the stock GCB-95. I went with the red in mine, but you could also combine them… or switch between them as well.

If you’re looking to buy one, I would recommend PedalPartsPlus.com to pick one up. They’re great.

    Good stuff. My soldering skills are completely non-existent though, but I’m VERY tempted by this…

    Great video!!! After watching this I’m very tempted to make this modification to my Cry Baby. It seems to have added a real warmth to the sound.
