ARGER GEAR for better, smoother response.
Recent purchasers have been writing to tell us how much they like the improved sweep and feel of this larger gear on the classic crybaby pot.
We have been studying wah tapers for years, and have come up with a hybrid solution.
Like a transmission in a car, We have sourced a larger gear to give the crybaby taper a slower, more expressive feel while still giving the full frequency range. The PERFECT BLEND of vintage ICAR feel with the 1 million cycle
durability
of the rugged hotpotz2 by dunlop.
please read full description, lots of great wah info here!
the FAMOU
S
crybaby ( and many voxes after approx 1970 ) have a special taper. we all know it. it is a fast taper for that quick feel that so many people love. the full range of sweep occurs over a small range of the foot travel
.
The other major type of wah pot, the famous "ICAR" taper was used in early vox wahs and recent replicas. This smooth taper has a much slower spread, giving the player a more even, expressive feel to their frequency range. many boutique wahs and tone freaks use this taper.
TWO problems with ICAR replicas in general:
1.durability ( many of the currently available brands go scratchy quickly due to their size and type of construction),
2. Adjustablility. -- very often the installer must favor either a treble response or bassy response due to the spread out nature of the taper. the resistance range exceeds the travel of the gear. our hybrid solves that problem - no compromise, you get the WHOLE RANGE!
Put our years of testing and innovation to work for you, try it! sounds and feels great.
features:
-we start with hotpotz2. (in our extensive testing, the hotpotz2 by dunlop is by far the longest lasting of commonly available wah pots, we can testify that it is an amazingly durable part).
-original gear narrowed, placed alongside our exclusive larger gear, solidly attached.
-we include 2 specially prepped rack retainers along with new screws and lockwasher assortment to assure proper contact for either gear, online instructions included.
-easy install, friendly tech support available. see our 100% positive feedback, we are proud of our satisfaction record.
-guaranteed to be scratch-free for 5 years from date of purchase! try that with the condom-back pots-- NO WAY!
*see our how-to video showing the exclusive 2 gear setup on a similar hotpotz1, you will get the feel for where the gears sit and how the shifting is accomplished SUPER EASY!

SOUNDTEST! we did a carefully controlled experiment to assess the difference in sound and feel between the stock hotpotz2 ( regular gear) Vs our new larger gear. same wah, same guitar, same amp , same riffs, same settings, same camera location. # 3 is stock hotpotz , # 5 is the new smooth kit large gear hotpotz2.
