CBM105Q Cry Baby® Mini Bass Wah
- Optimized for bass frequencies
- External Q and Volume controls
- Auto-return switching
The 105Q Cry Baby Bass Wah has been the most popular bass wah for years. The world’s top bass players have used its deep, expressive tones to add groove and texture to their bass lines. Now you can get that sound and functionality without taking up much more space than a Phase 90.
Enter the Cry Baby Mini Bass Wah. It’s half the size of the 105Q, and unlike its bigger brother, it comes in a lightweight aluminum housing. The Mini Bass Wah may be small, but its thunderous presence cannot be denied. This pedal has been carefully designed to retain and complement your low end, with Volume and Q controls to further fine-tune your wah sound. Players of downtuned and extended range guitars, take note—this little beast will sound great with your rig, too.
Stepping in and out of the wah effect to sweeten up fills and solos is simple and seamless thanks to convenient auto-return switching, and with such a small footprint, the Cry Baby Mini Bass Wah will fit nicely on your downsized travel board.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
• Run an instrument cable from your guitar to the 105Q’s INSTRUMENT jack and another instrument cable from the 105Q’s AMPLIFIER jack
into your amplifier’s input.
• The 105Q is bypassed (off) whenever your foot is off the pedal. To turn it on, simply press the toe of the pedal down with your foot.
• Set both the VOLUME control and the VARIABLE Q control fully counterclockwise.
• Rock your foot back and forth on the pedal to hear the vocal, expressive tones that the Cry Baby Wah Wah is famous for.
• Rotate the VARIABLE Q knob clockwise for a narrower frequency range to emphasize higher end harmonics or counterclockwise for a
wider frequency range that emphasizes lower end harmonics.
• To increase the 105Q’s output, engage the BOOST switch and rotate the VOLUME control clockwise to increase the amount of gain, up to +20dB, or
counterclockwise to decrease it.
