VOX Clyde McCoy Wah

[elavd]

I have a typical Dunlop CryBaby but I am not at all satisfied with its frequency response and its sound in general.

I was thinking of buying a VOX Clyde McCoy Wah.

I want a clean wah sound with smooth frequency sweep.

Has anyone tried the McCoy?

The Fulltone Wah is the best of the best from what I hear. Kind of pricey though.

I've had or still have Crybaby, Jimi Hendrix, 535, vintage Thomas Organ wahs and I keep going back to the Thomas Organ Crybaby. Just some info for you.

Question? Since everyone speaks of changing pot and caps in a guitar, can the pot in a Wah be changed out to obtain a better frequency response or tone?

If the answer is yes, it maybe the cheaper way to go!

I have already changed the original inductor of the Cry Baby to a Fasel, but the change was subtle...
Maybe I will have to change the pot to, or maybe 1-2 resistors in order to obtain a better frequency response...

Robert has one. Wait till he tells you about his....

Edited to say: or at least he has the Fulltone Clyde McCoy.

Here are some mods and some reviews. Maybe this will help.
