Cry Baby Wah

[TheEdge10]

Is the Cry Baby wah pedal Edge's main wah?

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

Edge's main wah is the CAE Rack Wah, if memory serves. It is control with an expression pedal... I think it's a Boss (I'd have to dbl check)

The pedal that looks like a wah is the Kay Fuzz bits put into a wah housing by Rabb McAllister

His expression pedal is the Boss FV300-L (have one and it's a tank, but Ernie Ball pedals are equally good).

@EO: Are you sure its a CAE Rack wah and not a Dunlop Rack wah?

 

[Rockhound252]

sure. He only uses dunlop rack wah for the promo shows. his main wah is a vox Wah encloused in a 19" rack an it's controlled with Boss FV-300L

Dunlop is in the promo rack.

If memory serves... the other (main) rack wah was made around the Zooropa tour by Bob Bradshaw at CAE.

No. That song uses whammy

 

[Globo14]

Love and Peace (Or Else!) [in the solo]



U2 - Love And Peace Or Else (Chicago Live) - YouTube

 

[Rockhound252]

Yeah!!! I forgot that song

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

You mentioned "Please". I think there is wah there too. But a lot of the 'filtered' sound on that is also the Lovetone "Meatball" in the left channel.

Particularly the bit after:

'Cause love is big and love is tough
But love is not what you're thinking of

...during:

September, streets capsizing
Spilling over and down the drain

Seems there may be a bit of Lovetone "Doppelganger" low - also - in the left channel.

Needless to say, there are some interesting sounds in a lot of 'Pop', "Please" in particular.

 

[Rockhound252]

Yeah its possible. In the 1997 MTV in his gear we can see crybaby and the meatball.
