Cry Cat Wah
The Chris Mac Gregor Cry Cat Wah is a truly unique and captivating take on the classic wah-wah pedal. Where most wahs aim for a bold, brash tone, the Cry Cat delves into a more expressive, vocal-like realm, evoking the rich, dynamic vowel sounds of the human voice. At the heart of this pedal is a specially-tuned resonant filter that produces a double-peaked frequency sweep, giving the Cry Cat a lush, organic quality that simply can't be found in standard wah designs. Engage the "Bubbly" control, and you can further sculpt the bandwidth of this resonance, allowing you to dial in everything from a focused, nasal "ooh" to a wide, sweeping "aah." The result is a wah effect that seems to breathe and emote, responding to your every nuanced expression with an uncanny lifelike quality. Guitarists in search of a more expressive, vocal-inspired tone will find the Cry Cat to be an invaluable tool, capable of coaxing out soulful cries, plaintive moans, and everything in between. While the Cry Cat may not have the in-your-face brashness of other wahs, its unique sonic signature has made it a favorite of discerning players like Mark Knopfler, who has been known to employ the pedal for its ability to seamlessly blend with and complement his fingerstyle playing.
