Bob Bradshaw of Custom Audio Electronics designed the MXR MC-404 CAE Crybaby Dual Inductor Wah Pedal with the Crybaby design team to create a highly versatile wah-wah with top-grade components. The MC404 CAE Crybaby features dual Fasel inductors with 2 distinct voices (high-end emphasis or low-to-mid resonance), and a built-in MXR MC-401 Boost/LineDriver that adds even more flexibility.

Choose between inductors and turn the boost on or off with the side-mounted kickswitches. Bright LEDs on each side of the wah indicate operation status. The MC404 Crybaby wah boasts true hardwire bypass, a long-life CTS potentiometer, and internal pots for the Q control—which varies the intensity of the wah effect—and gain adjustments. You get the high performance and quality that you expect from Dunlop, the world leader in wah-wah technology.

Bob Bradshaw has been one of the world's foremost designers of custom guitar pedalboards and effects systems for many of rock's most influential guitarists for 3 decades. And for just as long, MXR and Crybaby have been synonymous with the effects pedal innovations that have shaped the tone of modern electric guitar playing. So it was only natural for them all to join forces to create a dynamic line of pedals offering the ultimate in tone, functionality and road-worthy dependability. Since 1980, CAE's groundbreaking pedal designs were made in limited quantities only for a select clientele of world-class guitarists. But now these very same devices and circuits are available to all.

...with sports car handling and hybrid gas mileage. this thing can do great things, it can give you a classic "quack" or a more throaty "woah" sound, this along with the volume boost can make just about any wah type you could want. the only reason i gave it a 4.5 for features, is because the gain and "Q" adjusters are insid the wah itself, also, not shown in pics, but the battery is accessable without taking off the bottom, very nice wah

So why do YOU want a wah? Blues? Metal? Hendrix, Hammett, Mayer? Well this is an awesome effect, and great value. I was interested in signature crybabies but they seemed too limiting, and only good for that specific player/sound. They were expensive too for what you got. I liked the Satriani Vox, but that one is pricey. Other wahs seemed weak, or had too much treble shrill. Loved the idea of two inductors to switch between and the boost option on this pedal. This wah delivers. Very versatile, very smooth, sounds great and the inductor frequency range can even be tweaked. I replaced a standard Vox, which was great, I even modded it and it sounded good, but the MC404 is a solid pedal, sounds amazing fun to use and doesn’t require a loan to purchase!
