Mayer Red Lion Wah Upgrade Kit
The Roger Mayer Red Lion Wah Upgrade Kit is a masterful fusion of vintage tone and modern flexibility, designed to breathe new life into the iconic Dunlop Cry Baby wah. Drawing on over 33 years of wah modification expertise, this retrofit kit allows players to fine-tune their wah sound with unprecedented precision. At the heart of the Red Lion Wah is a continuous variable tuning system that unlocks a vast range of expressive tones. The "Standard Guitar" version offers a versatile sweet spot, while the "Band of Gypsys" variant channels the legendary Jimi Hendrix's iconic wah-infused tones with its fatter, lower-frequency sweep. Guitarists and bassists alike can easily find their perfect wah voice, thanks to the three available versions. What sets the Red Lion Wah apart is its unwavering commitment to tonal integrity. The high-impedance, low-capacitance input ensures zero tone-sucking or level loss, even in bypass mode, eliminating the need for further wiring modifications. Crafted with only the finest components and magnetics, this retrofit kit delivers whisper-quiet operation and the kind of dynamic responsiveness that made the Cry Baby a staple of so many classic recordings. The Red Lion Wah's name pays homage to the iconic pub in Barnes, London, where Jimi Hendrix and designer Roger Mayer would retreat to after recording sessions, sparking the ideas that shaped some of the greatest wah-driven guitar work of all time. With this upgrade kit, players can now channel that same creative spirit and unlock a world of expressive, touch-sensitive wah tones.
