Dunlap Crybaby Wah Pedal

Darling Wife and the kids wanted to get me something guitar-related for Father's Day.  No matter how mortifying the idea of me playing guitar is (to the teenagers), they do recognize that it's something I really enjoy and spend a lot of time at.

Having admired Eric's wah pedal at band practice, I asked for one of my own (and ordered it myself at their request.)  Some of these pedals come with significant bells and whistles, but I just wanted a very basic model, and ordered a Dunlap Crybaby Wah Pedal.

It couldn't be simpler - when you step on the pedal and hear the click, you then move your foot up and down and get a varying "wah" sound.  I like it a lot, but I still need to really get comfortable using it in a solo.  I'm thinking about my hands so much that I need to be able to use my foot without thinking about it.

I'm not ready to bring it to band practice yet.  But with more practice, hopefully soon.
