Gear demo. Yes you can get a decent clean sound out of an unmodded Marshall 4203. Yes you can play funk with a Morley Bad Horsey 1 wah pedal. User reviews claim otherwise, you decide. (And yes you can play high gain modern wah solos with a Dunlop Crybaby GCB-95.) I don't work for these companies. I couldn't find any Marshall 4203 clips nor any clean Bad Horsie clips anywhere before I gambled on my purchases, so here you go. Speaker is to the far left in the cab so the mic is an inch or two from the left edge of the speaker just slightly off axis toward the dome. I did no mic testing for anything but level, I slapped the mic right there and never moved it. God love the SM57. The mic by the desk picking up my comments (and the opening voiceover) is a Studio Projects C1 large diaphragm condenser. I muted that track during the guitar bits so all you hear is SM57. If you're obsessed with sparkling glassy clean amp sounds that bring a tear to your eye (Fender Twin) you won't be knocked out by this amp, but it's a perfectly serviceable clean sound for the rest of us. Many people at harmony-central user review site swear by the C13 mod (clipping the capacitor, see harmony-central dot com for details in some reviews), but guys in the 3203 reviews say the modification ruins the gain channel. You could install a toggle switch on that cap. But I don't mind the clean channel on this amp; I do turn down the treble and mid, and it's against my nature to turn down the mid, but on this amp it's true that the mid is pretty high and harsh on the clean channel. I do wish I had included some midgain sounds, maybe next time. The gain sound here is with the boost channel preamp knob all the way up. This thing will bellow like a happy moose when the master's cranked, and as well through a 4x12, 6x10 (Acoustic 104), 1x10 closed back Earcandy with a Jensen Mod 50, or any other cab. A great blues combo, every kind of tone or gain structure you'd ever want. I'm in love with the single tone control on the boost channel, that channel is fantastic at many volume, gain, and tone settings. One more thing: shorty after I put this video on youtube I pulled it to fix a caption, and therefore lost all existing comments when I put it back on--but I'm compelled to preserve here my favorite one of those early comments...it read simply and eloquently for all posterity: "Nice shoes wank face." You can hear me play actual songs on my record--visit my youtube page for details. On the song "Rocket Pogo" I played this same Strat Plus when it had a no-name salvage humbucker in the bridge, using this very Crybaby wah prominently. The whole album was done with this Strat, mainly through a Lab Series L5 amp through the dirty channel. If download any of the tunes or buy the whole CD, send me a note if you want a breakdown of what I played on which tunes. On this gear demo video: Guitars: 2001 Gibson Les Paul Studio Plus neck pickup: Gibson '57 Classic bridge: '57 Classic Plus 1991 Fender U.S.A. Strat Plus Fender-Lace Sensor pickups: neck/middle: gold bridge: silver Amp: 1989 Marshall model 4203 (Artist 30) 1x12 combo no modifications Groove Tubes (GTEL34R, 5's) Normal channel: treble & mid 1.5, bass 7, vol 2 Boost: tone 5, gain 10, vol 2 Wah pedals: Early '80's Dunlop Crybaby GCB-95 Morley Bad Horsie 1 (VAI-1). Auto-off set to instantaneous. You can open the pedal and adjust a pot for up to 3 seconds of delay before the effect shuts off. Many people set it for about 1/2 second delay so if you rock your foot back too far in the middle of a solo the effect doesn't shut off. I'm not finding that to be a problem, there's a good bit of travel in the low end of the sweep before you hit bottom, and even if you do you're back in action as soon as you rock your foot forward. Recording chain: Shure SM57 mic to Behringer UB1202 board to M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card to e-Machines PC hard drive. Edited with Cool Edit Pro 2.0, no EQ or effects in recording/mixdown.

   there is no 'better' pedal. Watch demos of both then pick which one suits your playing style. Its all preference

3. ARTUR, on January 9th, 2009 at 01:48:26 Said:
   alright ill try the one that was made specifically for the dunlop because im using stompbox adapters for like boss and digitech
4. Boell, on January 9th, 2009 at 02:11:25 Said:
   Disconnection in electricity wires. Solution: Try to connect other adapter and if then everything works fine, just change old one.
5. Norbert, on January 9th, 2009 at 02:34:24 Said:
   Make sure you're connecting to the right jacks; check both cables by running direct from guitar to amp with each of them; if all's well open the pedal and see if it's anything obvious like a loose wire. Then perhaps throw it through the television. If it's under warranty send it in. If not, and it's an expensive pedal, take it to the shop and spend even more on it. If it's a cheap pedal buy a better one.

   I like the cleans on my Fender Blues Deluxe with the crybaby. Only problem is, when I try to fire up the boss DS-1 I hear a little rattling in the amp.

    Can anyone help my wah wah pedal doesn't work, I've put in a battery and tried it with a plug connection but nothing works. Is this a standalone pedal or do I need something else for it to work?
13. Garrey, on January 9th, 2009 at 05:38:16 Said:

20. TROPHONIUS, on January 9th, 2009 at 08:19:09 Said:
    No. But if SRV had played YOUR GUITAR, it would sound more like SRV than if YOU played HIS ACTUAL guitar. Tone is in the fingers, the heart, the room, the band, the girl on the front row...and listeners respond to that magic interaction, not the unique waveform created by a strat through a Fender amp. So why not focus on finding YOUR sound not his? If Kiss did an SRV tune it wouldn't sound like SRV, but it might kick butt if their hearts were in it. And everyone would say, "now that's cool."
21. Vince, on January 9th, 2009 at 08:42:08 Said:
    are there any pedals that can make any guitar sound like a strat? i need one for a talent show at my school i wanna play a SRV song but have a epaphone explorer
22. Tami, on January 9th, 2009 at 09:05:07 Said:
    yeah. I C that now. thanks. im getting a crybaby for christmas so im pretty curius 'bout this stuff. lol
23. Heall, on January 9th, 2009 at 09:28:06 Said:
    Filter = eq. A wah sweeps an EQ (tone) midrange hump from low mid to high mid as you rock the pedal forward. Stop moving the pedal partway down, notes don't go wah anymore, they sound like you're playing though an eq set on extreme midboost. Rock forward a little more and stop, scooting the boost curve higher up in the midrange. When you match the mid boost to the tonal area where you're playing notes, it sounds nuts eh.
24. Rolf, on January 9th, 2009 at 09:51:05 Said:
    what is "filter" effect...never heard of it. is it like reverb?
