CRYING BASS
WAH/FUZZ PEDAL FOR BASS
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Crying Bass: a wah
pedal, with fuzz, designed specifically for bass! The Crying Bass sweeps the wah
filter without using any moving parts: it does not use a potentiometer, optics or
magnetism. The result is a responsive pedal that allows precise control over a
brilliantly fluid wah. The Crying Bass also includes a fuzz circuit to add extra
harmonics to your bass sound, giving the wah filter more frequencies to chew on, as
well as a fixed low pass filter (LPF) for extra low end.
GETTING STARTED
Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack; connect your amp to the OUTPUT jack. Within
seconds the EHX logo in the center of the pedal will light. Your Crying Bass is ready
to go! Please note: as long as a plug is inserted into the INPUT jack, a drain is placed
on the 9V battery inside the Crying Bass. It is recommended that you disconnect the
INPUT jack when the Crying Bass is not in use to extend battery life.
FUZZ Control
The fuzz in the Crying Bass helps to accentuate the wah effect, adding distortion and
harmonics to your bass notes. The FUZZ dial located on the INPUT side of the Crying
Bass is a blend control for the fuzz circuit. As the numbers increase on the dial, the
volume of the fuzz effect increases while the dry volume decreases. The maximum
setting of 10 should yield a volume boost as compared to your bypass volume.
LPF VOL Control
The Crying Bass includes a 2
nd
-Order Low Pass Filter (LPF) fixed at 194 Hz for adding
more bottom end to the wah effect. Dial-in just the right amount of LPF by using the
LPF VOL control located near the INPUT jack. The volume of the LPF increases as the
numbers increase on the dial. The LPF is muted when set to 0. The maximum setting
of 10 should yield a low end boost as compared to your bypass volume.
