Toppscore, I had a GCB95 wah that I just never liked. I stuffed it in the closet for 15 years, then found a couple simple mods that turned it into a whole new pedal.
I'm still not a good wah player, but at least now I like the sound of that Crybaby pedal.
I think I have a video somewhere of the differences the mods can make. Let me know if you want more info.

Thanks. I've uncovered tons of amps, guitars, pedal and accessories
from storage during the past year. I was going to sell this Crybaby Wah,
but figured I'd need one anyway. Tested it last month and it sounded
good to me, kind of the Hendrix/Funk/Curtis Mayfield SuperFly tones
That was the first time out of the box for this eighteen year old Crybaby.
But, please send your info. I am getting out my soldering iron
Much appreciated. Toppscore

Here's where I got the mod info - there are some other sites as well:

Just changing one capacitor can make a lot of difference. Some of those crybaby pedals sounded pretty thin right out of the box.

Thanks, Boots. I will definitely check it out.
Will modding the circuit void my 1995 CryBaby warranty
