10/8/2019 Vox V845 Vs Cry Baby Gcb 95
From the site of Dunlop, the manufacturers of both the original Cry Baby and the Eddie Van Halen Signature Wah: 'The EVH Wah was developed after intensive design collaboration with the legendary guitarist, Eddie Van Halen. Early on in the process, Eddie handed over his “Holy Grail” Cry Baby—a standard Cry Baby customized in the early Nineties with a more vocal-like, High Q inductor and a wider frequency sweep.' This suggests that the current (vividly yellow) EVH model is not the exact pedal that Eddie Van Halen used, but rather a 'standard Cry Baby' that was modified to suit Eddie's needs and dubbed the 'Holy Grail'.
Don, I had a GCB-95 Crybaby that I was never happy with. I eventually bought a used Vox V847 (not the A model) that I was pleased with. I decided to use as many parts as possible from the Crybaby, plus stuff I had laying around in the shop, and breadboard a V847 clone for my Crybaby. Now I have basically two V847s.

As you can see (above), Reb's pedalboard is constantly evolving as he adds and discards effects - it ain't the neatest thing you've ever seen!We asked Reb to describe his signal path: 'My signal goes into very expensive Shure wireless units, which are the closest thing to being on a cable I have found. From there it goes into a Bradshaw router that helps with guitar changes. Then it goes to the pedalboard and out to the amps.' 'The pedalboard signal goes to a Cry Baby wah, a Boss Metal Zone distortion, a Danelectro echo for long delays when making weird noises, a Boss tuner and a Digitech Whammy pedal, which is in a loop because it messes with my signal in line. The whammy pedal is great with the long delay for weird noises. Then to a A/B box, which chooses between clean or dirty amps.' 'The clean line goes from the A/B box into a Guild Hartke bass head with a TC electronics multi effects unit for wetness.
The bass head gives a very loud full clean sound. The other signal from the A/B box goes to the Marshall dirty heads.' Reb has recently replaced the Boss Overdrive pedal seen on his Homegrown DVD with the Boss Metal Zone, as he felt that the overdrive pedal (used for solo boost) was taking away too much low end. Anyone who has heard Reb's live sound on the 2004 Whitesnake tour will agree he made the right choice!. One of the classic guitar pedals that started it all.
