Crybaby Wah
Can I use headphones with a Crybaby Wah Pedal?
I recently bought a used Dunlop Crybaby Wah Wah pedal to use with my keyboard. I know I’d have more options with a MIDI CC pedal, but my rack module doesn’t have a controllable Wah feature, only Auto-Wah, so for that great classic sound I needed a real guitar wah pedal. I like practicing with headphones so as not to use my amp too much, (and so I don’t bug the neighbors). My Wah pedal works fine when I hook it up to my amp, but when I try to use studio headphones (with an 1/8″-1/4″ adapter plugged directly into the output of the pedal) and turn the wah on, all it does is decrease the volume significantly. It doesn’t act as a Volume Pedal by varying the volume, it just turns the patch down.
Anyone know any way I can use my wah pedal with headphones?
P.S. My amp does not have a headphones output on it.
You can’t do this. The line-level output of the pedal is not strong enough to drive headphones.

Dunlop Crybaby Classic Wah Pedal – GCB95F $99.99 When you think about the classic wah-wah sounds of the 60s, you think about British bluesmen and psychedelic American rockers, not Italy. But those Sunshine-y and Foxey tones could not have existed without the Italian-made Fasel inductors that were in the first wah pedals including the original Crybaby. These inductors were the key to the pedals’ tone, but have been unavailable for years. Not anymore. Your Crybaby Classic with Fasel Inside will faithfully recreate the vocal sweep and lush harmonics from those timeless recordings. Plug in your Crybaby Classic and hear what you’ve been missing. Features: Heavy die cast construction for years of reliability, 100K ohm Hot Potz potentiometer that allows for that quick, abrupt wah sound. Powered by the Dunlop ECB-003 AC Adapter and/or 9 volt battery. |
