"First dubbed the 'Cry Baby' pedal, Casher also recorded a demo for instrument stores showcasing how to use the pedal..."
"... as well as an accompanying single. Both the pedal and the single failed to catch on with the music-playing public upon release in 1967. However, Frank Zappa, who used the wah-wah pedal in 1966 when Casher sat in with the Mothers of Invention, gifted a pedal to Jimi Hendrix, solidifying the wah-wah's place in music history soon after...."

This notion that patients “battle” cancer strikes me as a weird locution. I struggled thru chemo and radiation in that past year. Not much of a battle. I laid down and accepted the treatment, then I slept an awful lot. Lots of appointments. Cancer in remission. I’m still sleeping 10 hours a day as treatment fatigue wears off. Some battle. Completely passive.

This is an article that I'm going to be sharing around a lot today with the guitar players among my family and friends. Thanks, Althouse, for bringing this to our attention.
As a listener, the wah-wah pedal produced sounds that could really resonate **physically**. It's a very particular thing, at least for me. This doesn't mean it was always pleasant, though mostly it was.
I can be very sensitive to music physically, perhaps an odd quirk. It's probably a combination of genetics and experience, because both of my parents were musicians by trade, so even pre-birth I was heavily, heavily exposed to music on a daily basis. Both of my parents were still in school (mom undergrad, dad grad) during my gestation and birth, and so both were practicing or playing many hours everyday, and then that exposure continued for years. I've always wondered if that had a deep effect on my wiring, and not just strictly in the area of music. I do think it's likely responsible for me often "hearing" when I'm "reading" or even editing, back in the day. It's an odd quirk. Does anyone else experience this?

Excellent video on Wahs! I encourage following St. Croix's link.
You know, when I was younger there was some music I couldn't listen to when I was sick, with a stomach bug or something in particular. Now that I think of it, music containing the wah-wah effect is included in that. I don't know now, because I don't get sick that often and I don't generally listen to music when I am. God, how weird that seems when I type it in black and white!
I seem to have taken over this thread. Sorry! I'll get off it now.
Well, RIP; but he has a lot to answer for.
Cool obituary.
ST: adding you to my prayer list.
Rcommal: keep going.
I don't need no wah-wah
And I know how sweet life can be
If I keep myself free, wah-wah
I don't need no wah-wah

The nation mourns with loud waaah-waaahing ...
“Tales of Brave Ulysses”… and how his naked ears were tortured.
My favorite use of it is the beginning of Voodoo Child.
And it's all over the Shaft soundtrack.
That was annoying. I listened to the whole 4:51 YouTube and still don't know whether the name of the Cry Baby Pedal has anything to do with the song "Cry Baby", done memorably by Garnett Mimms and later by Janis Joplin. Homage or coincidence? I can't say it sounds all that much like a crying baby, either, or the whiny adult kind of 'crybaby'.
SRV was the absolute master of the Wah pedal.
I have a cry baby my son gave me as a present but don't use it much.
Never understood the fuss over Hendrix. Seems to be one of those singers with a small following who obsessively love him to death for some reason.
Anthony @9:20 yes!
Theme from Shaft fo sho

Maybe the fuss is about Hendrix the guitarist, not as "one of those singers."
Here ya go.
"First dubbed the 'Cry Baby' pedal, Casher also recorded..." Misplaced modifiers bug me.
Shouting Thomas, I hope things turn out well for you. Your comments remind me of Norm MacDonald's bit about someone "losing" the battle with cancer. As he put it, when the person dies, the cancer dies, too - that's not losing, that's a draw (I'm pretty sure Norm already had cancer - and knew it - when he made those comments, which seems to make them a bit more poignant).
Yeah, maybe thats why. And maybe it isnt.
thanks for the insight.
Hendrix’s reputation as a guitarist has not only held up for well over half a century, it has gotten stronger. His creativity and his music hit the scene in ‘66 like a runaway locomotive according to his peers.
