Designed by Bass Players, for Bass Players
The 105Q is the first wah pedal designed by bass players for bass players. Every aspect of its design was considered with the bassist's needs in mind—from the frequency range to the switching mechanism to the overall feel. The result is a wah that feels natural, responds musically, and preserves the thunderous low end that defines your bass tone.
Custom EQ Circuitry and Proprietary Potentiometer
The 105Q incorporates a proprietary potentiometer and custom EQ circuitry specifically optimized for bass frequencies. This specialized design ensures that the wah effect enhances your tone without muddying your sound or losing the fundamental notes that anchor your playing. The custom EQ circuitry is tuned to complement the bass frequency range, delivering a vocal, expressive wah that sits perfectly in any mix.
Mids and Highs Only – Your Low End Stays Intact
Unlike standard guitar wah pedals, the Cry Baby Bass Wah applies the wah effect to the mids and highs only, leaving a strong fundamental to hold down the bottom. This means you can take solos, throw in fills, or create dynamic wah textures without ever disturbing your low end. Your bass remains powerful, clear, and present—even when the wah is engaged.
Auto-Return Switching – Expressive Control at Your Feet
The 105Q features convenient auto-return switching, which means the wah effect engages when you step on the pedal and automatically disengages when you release it. This intuitive design allows you to step into the effect just as long as you need to make your passage pop, then seamlessly return to your clean tone. It's perfect for bassists who want expressive control without tap-dancing on switches.
