CaptainChaos Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I've just brought one but cant get it to work I've got the lead from the amp going to the crybaby and then from there to the guitar but dont get any sound? I've put a battery in the crybaby aswell. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucks Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Does it pass through normal sound when its clicked off? Soundclick Myspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChaos Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Eh? When what is clicked off there is no turn off button on the crybaby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBBPaul Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 The switch on the Crybaby is under the pedal at the front. Push down firmly to activate/deactivat it. Our new and improved website Today's sample tune: Lonesome One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChaos Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 i pushed the button but still nothing happens. Im guessing i would notice if it was on aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainChaos Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 well im not to sure how im supposed to set it up or with what wires so i've tried a cocktail of them but still nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Ellwood Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Reverse the leads amp to instrument/instrument to amp and try it again. Which crybaby model is it, does it have any different switches on it anywhere on the sides or on the bottom? http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Ellwood Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 yeah well I was just looking at the PDF file on it and maybe you should check the two wires going from the battery to the PC board, make sure they are both attached to the PC board and are not off or loose. http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChaos Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Those wires seem fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Ellwood Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Ok now with the cover off.. take a close look at the 1/4 inch jacks, with the male jack stuck in look close to see if the tip and ring are firmly touching the spring strip on the female jack, those female jacks can get loose and you need to retension the flat springy strip that contacts the tip of the male jack. You can do all this testing with the amp on and guitar volume up so you can listen for changes as you probe these jacks ..listen for poping and scratching as you move the connections. http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardtail Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 All right, Lee! Which model to you have Captain Chao? I have the 535Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChaos Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Its the GCB-95. Its sound cool and everything but the thing im starting to notice is that if i pick a song i wanna play and make it sound like it i gotta buy the equipment to get the sound, which kinda sucks I brought the crybaby cause i fancied trying to learn some solo's by metallica but i have the completey the wrong equipment. Anyone know bands that have a PRS SE and and Crybaby or have i just chose a odd set? (I dont mean to sound wingey btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
