Cumberland Guitars is excited to announce our newest pedal collaboration with Analog Pedals: The Wolf Creek Wailer: Best Dam Wah-Wah!

Each one of these builds starts with a brand new Dunlop GCB95 "Original" Cry Baby. The original Cry Baby model is the industry standard wah pedal that all others are judged against. It's a fine pedal, but many popular modifications and upgrades have surfaced over the years that help fine-tune this pedal. What we aim to deliver with The Wolf Creek Wailer is a traditionally-voiced pedal with more pronounced vowel-like vocal qualities and just a sweeter and smoother overall sound. The recipe we use to elevate this Cry Baby is based off of many years of tinkering with pedals and searching for the best and most versatile combination of mods and upgrades. 

Each pedal is modified by Jeff at Analog Pedals, a true master of effects pedals, and includes a 1-year warranty. You can mail him a Cry Baby to have these mods or other mods performed, but this version with our Wolf Creek Wailer badges is exclusively sold through Cumberland Guitars. 

The factory Cry Baby badge that was removed to make room for a Wolf Creek Wailer label is included, as well as all of the original Cry Baby paperwork, packaging, and stickers from Analog Pedals, Cumberland Guitars, and Cry Baby. 

So, what's with the name?  Our shop is just minutes from beautiful Lake Cumberland and Wolf Creek Dam. Fun Fact: this dam is the 25th largest in the US. If you are coming to town to check out our shop, we recommend taking a quick drive down to the lake and dam. 

Modifications:

True Bypass Modification - When a stock Cry Baby is "OFF", part of the guitar signal is still routed through some of the electronic components, which leads to the dreaded "Tone Suck". There are plenty of great non-true-bypass pedals on the market, but we find that the signal path through an "OFF" Cry Baby eats away some of the clarity and presence. When your Wolf Creek Wailer is "OFF", it is truly out of your signal chain and not coloring your tone. 

Buffer Section Removed - The stock GCB95 has an input buffer section to give a signal boost, mostly to help push your guitar input through those extra components that are never truly "OFF". This buffer has been removed on The Wolf Creek Wailer. 

Indicator LED - The stock GCB95 has no visual indicator that it "ON". The Wolf Creek Wailer has an added bright blue LED to give you (and your guitar tech) clear visual confirmation that the pedal is engaged. 

"Trash Can" Inductor - The inductor is where most of the magic is really happening inside a wah-wah pedal. It's the glue that makes all other modifications and upgrades work in harmony. For The Wolf Creek Wailer, the stock inductor has been removed and replaced with a "Trash Can" inductor that was hand-wound by Joe Gagan, the Wizard of Wah pedals! 

Gain Modification - to overcome the loss of the input buffer, a slight gain boost was performed downstream to give this pedal a slightly hotter output. 

Mid Freq/Q-Modification - For lack of a better term, the "sweet spot" of this wah has been modified for a more pronounced peak and mid-range punch. It has that "quack" that we're all chasing. 

Vocal Modification - The Wolf Creek Wailer was modded to have a more vocal-like quality. Some of the harsher frequencies have been tamed, resulting in a more usable and pleasant vowel sound. 

Lower Range Modification - The whole travel range of this pedal was shifted a bit lower for fatter bass presence and less of the high-end icepick-like sounds that plague so many wah pedals on the market.

Perfect!
Style: Data/Line Protection - 6 ft
I somehow didn't notice it had phone jacks on the end of it before I ordered, but this was the only/cheapest option I could find that had a flat plug, and a 6 foot cord, and was a surge protector, AND had indicator lights for protection at least (this additonally has a light for ungrounded). I feel like, what's the point in having a surge protector if it can't tell you whether it's protecting you or not? I needed the flat plug to fit behind a door that remains open fully and has my outlet behind it as a result. Perfect. I don't and probably will never have a use for the phone jacks. It came with a sticker over them which I will just leave for now. But this fit the bill of all other criteria. I guess the 5th criteria was a "known brand" - I didn't want some cheap "travel surge protector" by an unknown company. Belkin, Tripp Lite, APC...don't risk your expensive electronics. I also got a few of the Amazon Basics ones to put around the house and replace the power taps we were using. But they don't have flat plugs.

Quality Product
Style: Data/Line Protection - 12 ft
*** Seller: I bought the Belkin 7-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with 12 feet Cord from Amazon.com LLC. *** Shipping and handling: Amazon.com LLC did a wonderful job in packaging this product. It arrived in excellent condition. *** Usage time: I received this product on February 4, 2015, and from the date of this review, I have been using it for 31 days. I'll update my review periodically. *** Performance review: - Negatives. None. - Neutral. (1) The angled plug is convenient for tight spaces. Some people have complained about its right-oriented design, but that doesn't vex me. I simply place the surge protector somewhere to the right of my workstation. (2) I haven't experienced a surge yet (and I hope I never will), so I can't comment on the device's ability to protect my devices. - Positives. (1) Still working after 31 days of continued use (with all seven outlets occupied [laptop, scanner, printer, and so on]). (2) Based on the device's appearance, it looks both sturdy and professional. A reset switch is located on the side. Indicators on top show whether your devices are either protected (green) or not grounded. *** Summary: I thoroughly enjoy this device and would recommend it to anyone seeking a quality product. If this device were to break down, I wouldn't hesitate to order it again from Amazon.com LLC.

Works and Mounts Nicely
Style: Data/Line Protection - 12 ft
I wanted to get one of these so I could use it to plug in all of my electronics that I use in my office desk (pretty typical). The desk is in the middle of the room though, so it made it all that much more important that I could "hide" this inside of the desk. It was a little difficult to figure out where to put the screws so they correctly lined up with the holes in the back of the device, but after a couple of tries, got it to work. It does occassionally fall down. It would be really nice if there were additional holes in the back of the item so you could put 4+ screws into the surge protector so it has the ability to hold up all of the heavy plug in's that are on the market today. The cord being 12' long was GREAT! This was really the reason that I purchased this model. It eliminates the need to plug this item into an extension cord, which was key. It's been a good item. Nothing special, but how special can surge protectors get? The 12' cord is great, the item is sturdy and I have been very happy.

Really nice product from an equally nice company.
Style: Data/Line Protection - 6 ft
Really nice product from an equally nice company. Note: I do not have PRIME since Amazon.com does NOT stand behind their BS mark-up service and have become WORSE since they started pushing it so much at delivering non PRIME items. My experience with Belkin has always been Way Over the Top good. So I recommend any product in general. Their customer service namely and their delivery, packaging is STELLAR. This product is good in that it is robust, the white does not easily scratch (matte type), and the product seems to be well designed overall. The LED's are not obnoxious at all. The wire is thick, robust, but has enough travel to be useful. Only small enhancement would be to put the switch up top instead of at the end of the power strip to provide more options. And maybe add a USB port.
