Here’s a quick wah mod for you to try that adds a more throaty sounding wah effect. Add a B25K pot between the wah pot’s lug 1 (the grounded one) and ground. Set the pot so that zero resistance is fully CCW and that full resistance is fully CW. With the pot set fully CCW it will be the same as the pot not even being in the circuit. As you turn up the pot you will get a more throaty sounding wah. This will also shift the frequency sweep towards the bass. This mod along with a variable range cap mod work really well together to dial in your wah tone. I use an ON/OFF/ON toggle switch to select between .01uf, .015uf and .022uf. I think this may be referred to as the Jerry Cantrell mod? I don’t know anything about that but I do like what it does and how it sounds.

After doing a little reading it seems that the Cantrell Crybaby uses a 5K pot. I tried using one and found that it’s effect was minimal. In fact I wasn’t sure I was hearing much effect at all with the 5K. After a little experimenting I found that a 10K worked better and that I preferred using a 25K over the 10K
