Q: What makes the Dunlop MC404 CAE Wah Pedal special?

The Dunlop MC404 CAE Wah Pedal stands out due to its collaboration with Custom Audio Electronics (CAE) and its dual Fasel inductors. These inductors allow you to switch between two distinct wah voices: a high-end focused tone and a thick, throaty sound. This versatility, combined with its clean boost and Q controls, makes it a powerful tool for shaping your guitar's voice.

Q: How do the controls on the MC404 CAE Wah Pedal affect its sound?

The MC404 CAE Wah offers precise control over your tone. It features two side-mounted switches: one selects between the two Fasel inductors for different wah voicings, and the other activates a built-in MXR MC401 Boost/LineDriver circuit. Additionally, two internal trim pots allow you to fine-tune the Q (wah intensity) and the boost level, giving you extensive sonic sculpting capabilities.

Q: What are the power requirements for the Dunlop MC404 CAE Wah Pedal?

The Dunlop MC404 CAE Wah Pedal can be powered by a single 9V battery, which is included, or by an optional 9V DC power supply (sold separately). Using a power supply is often preferred for consistent performance and to avoid battery changes during gigs or sessions. Sweetwater offers a wide selection of compatible power supplies to keep your pedalboard running smoothly.

This wah is very solidly built in every aspect. I am not a wah user and this is the first one I've owned. I like the way it sounds, works and function, so I do like it a lot. It looks cool too.

I have sooo many Wah's & Crybaby's. I even held on to a Thomas International from the late 60's early 70's that sound amazing. Bob Bradshaw AGAIN has made a smooth, articulate and talk about diversity. I live in Nashville and I'm surrounded by a lot of musicians who have different tastes of this kind of pedal. They all love this one once they sit down and experience it. By all means, buy this one and check it out. You will love it.

Thanks again CAE Electronics

Massive amount of musicality, tonal control, construction quality, and "tweak" ability. That said I customized this already custom pedal to suit my particular needs. Removed and remotely wired/located the on/off switch. Relocated the two "Q" internal pots to the side of the housing (like the boost gain, or like one of their other models) added a Griffin "Silent Step" switching PCB to alleviate the popping caused by the non-isolated original circuitry (all Wahs suffer from this). Added a thumbscrew adjustment controller to create a "swing governor" for the pedal. Added some sponge, two elastic bands, and removed the pedal tensioner. Perfect now! It was perfect before, now it's just plain God-Like.

I have gone through several wah pedals, and this one is the best one I have found, that you can adjust to any situation. There is plenty of output, and tonal adjustment..and a Boost! It also has a good throw. The rocker tension can also be adjusted, with a hex wrench that is provided. It's an all around great Wah Pedal!

This Wah sounds best to me on the red Fasel setting almost as good as a Dunlop Classis. The yellow setting is ok. The boost feature is a plus. Being able to adjust the treadle tension is a good feature also.
