The MC404 Custom Audio Electronics Wah was developed by Bob Bradshaw of Custom Audio Electronics and the Cry Baby design team with the goal of creating a highly versatile wah-wah of top-grade components. It features dual Fasel inductors with two distinct voices (high-end emphasis or low to mid resonance), and a built-in MXR MC401 Boost/LineDriver adds even more flexibility. Choose between inductors and turn the boost on or off with the side-mounted kickswitches; bright LEDs on each side of the wah indicate operation status. The MC404 boasts true hardwire bypass, a long-life CTS potentiometer, and internal pots for “Q” and gain adjustments.

Being able to switch back and forth between the two Fasel inductors is a really unique and cool feature, as you can adjust it on the fly with a kick of your foot, opening up twice as many soundscapes as you would have with any other wah. The built-in Boost is a great feature, too, you can use it for solos and add in as little or as much wah sound as you need. After trying all kinds of different wah pedals over the years, this one really stands out, and has the versatility to mirror almost any wah out there. Great quack, smooth range, nice boost – another great creation from Bob Bradshaw!
