Interesting Article April 18

Well, it's a pretty slow day for the news, but just read an a great interview with the co-director of the Crybaby Wah-Wah pedal, featured in a ton of music. Jimi Hendrix really brought it into the mainstream and you've heard it in such iconic bands such as Metallica, Black Sabbath, Pantera, and basically everyone else. Even bands like Sly and the Family Stone used these effects. I have always wanted one of these pedals to further my creativity and to see what kind of sounds I could get with that. Even if you're not a guitarist, it's still a great read to know some of the history behind the iconic piece of hardware. There is even a documentary coming out soon on it, which I'm looking forward to.
