The Custom Audio Electronics MC-404 CAE Wah Pedal is about as versatile as a Wah-Wah can get. Featuring two selectable voices and a built in line driver, the Dunlop MXR MC-404 CAE Wah Pedal is the one you have been looking for.
I am so glad I bought one of these. I have gad so many wahs from vintage to modern and this one is amazingly versatile for cleans to any amount of gains. q is on the inside because once you find the voice you like it keep it from changing. No big deal. This wah is less than some others I recently had which only sounded good on high gain. This one gets that cool Hendrixy clean tone as well as into Trower and others. Dig it.
I just bought one of these yesterday. Awesome pedal, I spent more time doing a demo jam in the sound room than ever before.
why is it that I want to buy eveything Andy plays? It really not fair.
PEARL JAM EVEN FLOW IN THE BEGINNING!!
man that has got to be the best sounding wah I have ever heard very clear and articulate. ss72
I just bought one...should be good for the Zappa material & blues...I'm not worried about the boost bypass 'cos I'll be running the ol' Mutron III in front of it!
I haven't tried copping J's sound for a while, but back in the day I got closest by running guitar into an overdrive into wah into Big Muff and engaging both distortions. I've no idea if this is what J did, but having gain on both sides of the wah gives you that crazy, haunted house sounding wah like on "Kracked" and others. Try it and see if that get's you in the neighborhood.
by far one of the best wahs on the market..
beats up boutique ones easier..
Man this is sweet. Andy, your voice is like audible chocolate. You're like a cooler version of Casey Kasem AND with good taste in music. I just bought one of these from you guys and I'm stoked on getting it. Chalk another order up to these awesome gear videos and great customer service. PGS rocks.
I Think this guy loves Pearl Jam, cause in the demo of a Orange Tiny Terror he plays Corduroy at the beginning :D PJ FOR EVER!!
This is really an amazing wah. Why, though, do they not allow the MC401 Line Driver to be activated while the wah is off?? That would make this 2 pedals in one and push an already great tool over the top. Really a foolish design oversight.
probably the best wah i ever hearded
Well, Bob Bradshaw (owner) has built effects and switching systems for a few artist that you may be familiar with. Such as: Mike Landau, Steve Lukather, Ed Van Halen, Steve Vai and more.
Wow! Was so impressed with your video that I just bought one. Masterful playing too. Great demo! Keep 'em coming!
every wah with a potentiometer will get scratchy over time, but its not very expensive to fix and it takes a while if its a good pot.
Evenflow!!! I thought i loved you before... but that blew me away!
This is obviously the best Wah of all time. So versatile and Distinct. The Throat inductor is great for Alice In Chain's type stuff the the other is Fantastic for the Original Crybaby Wah sound's.
looks sexy, i would almost have no use for the red inductor tho
good question baldur, i have also thought about that since i belive the buddy guy and the cae wah are the best 2 crybabys on the market today
to me this is the one that can go toe to toe against the fulltone clyde.
@slayerized667 for sure. sold my clyde deluxe and picked´up this one... more agressive, more versatile... the internal trimpots for "Q" lets you adjust the tighness of the wah, so, if you want something more creamy or more agressive you can dial it! besides the dual fazel, one for soloing screaming fucking loud and other one more 'vocal-like' vintage.. put your shoes on it, won´t regret
@AidyDamage - Thank you, from the equally "sunny" Portland, Oregon! We do enjoy our jobs. Thanks for watching!

Damn I oughta pick one of these up
.... 2 Fasels?! Epic!!!! I am getting!
@alexmetallicaZFC13 that comes standard with every CryBaby Wah. Just to ensure long lasting wah wah and to make sure moving the pedal isn't a challenge.
@GuitarAddiction7 this would probably by more versatile because it has the dual inductors, so you could cover more genres. the 535q is more vintage sounding to my ear, so for things like hard rock and metal this would probably be better. Overall i think that the CAE is the best, just a personal preference though
If you kind folks at PGS want to please a dedicated true fan of yours please answer this- How does this wah fare against an older Budda Budwah (not the new ones, apparently they're crappier now), or against say a Hendrix Signature (the one I own)...or Buddy Guy wah? I mean quality of parts, durability and general sound (its brighter, has bigger sweep, etc) thanks guys, PGS is the best!
go on to their website he mentions and you can find out
I have a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe anditwasadifficult choice between it and the CAE 404. By the Way, CAE builds the Bradshaw Rig $25,000+ Satriani uses. Along with 100 other stars.
this thing is filthy ! monster sound :]
Amazing pedal !
Got the MC404, Now what are those shoes,
where can i get them Great style
This is just about the perfect for me
@gbgg9409 It looks like lithium grease ... the same stuff they put on the door hinges in your car. reduces friction
@gbgg9409 i've always assumed it was lube...sucks when you get it on your hands
I WANT!
finally a video of this!
EVEN FLOW!
2:03 - 2:12 = badass!
Question; does this pedal have any sort of "fuzz friendly buffer". I noticed that you have the MXR in buffer mode so I'm guessing not.
Thanks for your time! Great demo of a fantastic sounding wah.
nice shows andy.
I would say this just because of the built in booster and different inductors.
AAAH! ordered mine and i hate waiting
nice wah, wonder how it stands up against a clyde deluxe?
is it better to put wah before or after distortion?
does all those switches compromise the tone?
Ever since I got my first Crybaby years ago, I've always wondered what that white-ish substance is that's kind of covering the little gears inside the wah at around 0:35. Anybody know what it's called?
I'm looking for that same Dino sound. Don't now how J makes it sound like that, but I know that he is using this very pedal... Well he didn't back in the days, but he does know.
Question. Can you use the line driver w/o the wah engaged?
Does the line driver work if the wah is off?
@ItsStephenSON I really want a new wah, and I really want the Custom Electronic Booster/line driver. If I can use the Boost without wah then I am sold.
hi Andy
hey but once the CTS run out, can replace it with any hot potz?? :D
@ProGuitarShopDemos arn't they like a branch of Dunlop?
remove the silicon on top of the pots, use a sharpie to mark the default position and then tweak it until you like what you hear. Thats all I can tell you lol let me know if you find a better way to do it
O.O I want it!!! it will be great in the place of my cry baby gcb 95... lol
Omg , epic wah
what are those shoes?
I have a Clyde Deluxe and love the tone of it. It's all a matter of taste, both are incredibly versatile. To my ears, the CAE doesn't sound as sweet and musical, but some might prefer the more "in-your-face" sound of it and it's much more mid-prononuced sound, which cuts better through the mix (the Fulltone cuts through the mix nicely as well, don't worry). The only thing in this clip that's steering me away from the CAE is the small sweep with distortion at 2:40 to 3:00.
How much for this beast?
I was looking at either this wah or the 535q crybaby because of their versatility, which would you guys recommend for things like blues/rock, hard rock, metal, etc.?
hard decision: MC-404 or Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah, Please help!!
yeah - I wonder about that as well...
such choice footwear
i love the design fkn SOLD haha
Its not Clyde Mcoy...(I think at least). It is made by the Dunlop owned company MXR...as for Custom Audio Electronics, I've never heard of it, seems like a company involved with MXR and Dunlop or a word used to mean high class Dunlop and MXR pedals
whats CTS? :)
I'm gonna buy this.
thats the easiest problem in the world to fix. all you have to do is take the back off, unscrew the white plastic piece that holds the piece of plastic attached to the pot in place, pull the piece of plastic back, play and turn the pot until you cut out the harsh top end, then put it back together.
Its a dunlop/CAE joint product. They've done this stuff before
@meatloafcomics Based on what I understand about this pedal vs the jerry cantrell model, i think you'd want to use the red fasel inducter for a darker wah with more low/mid emphasis for more a more Jerry Cantrell like sound. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
this or jerry cantrell wah. i play alot of guns n roses, led zeppelin, funk and blues. i really like the jerry cantrell wah but this is getting really good reviews. i can't go to a shop and try it out because i'm buying overseas and most australian stores don't stock that many medium-high end wahs. so i need some real big help
Hello, I wanted to make an inquiry ... Wah is that this includes the MC-401 does not?
But the booster can activerse independently? or does it only when you activate the Wah.
That is, can be used as a LINE / Driver? and have it always on?, even when the wah is off?
Does anyone know if this would be good to get an Alice in Chains-type sound?
@meatloafcomics Now it's out the Jerry Cantrell Signature wah, that is cheaper than this, and it's fantastic. I have a Crybaby 535Q multiwha and in the booklet inside that a Jerry cantrell setting. Look at the 535Q or the Jerry Cantrell signature.
i think this one is totally true bypass finally.
Its $170. sounds great
@ProGuitarShopDemos Sunny?? You should spend 30 mins in Texas. It is so bright and hot here you feel like the earth is spinning into the sun.
dose mc-404 within buffer inside?
What does he play at 1:33?
wow!!!
What's that white stuff on gear??
@MrWarland this wah!!
Does this wah still suck any tone? Even though it's true bypass?? Thanks!
ib4 Kirk Hammett
Yes, true bypass.
Even flow :P
I see a Dunlolp pot not a CTS :?
even flooooooooooooow
hi PGS which one is better?
this wah or the 535q wah?
Ofc i don't!
this or one of the signature crybabys
How does this compare against the RMC Wizard? And people seem to think this sounds better than the EVH, but when I heard it (here on RUclips), the EVH seemed to have a wider sweep and get into brighter territory than the CAE...
2:24=omg!
Does it have the standard "Q" settings or maximized? thanks, Pavel
@SethYoda71 we all want to know
i also want to know that :)
@ProGuitarShopDemos
Ed Van Halen sounds like a poser. Who are those guys again?
Why the shit would you put the Q adjustment pots on the inside!? I like the pedal but if I buy it I'm drilling holes in the side and rewiring some exterior pots.
he probably spends all the money he does get on guitar gear...right....that's what i do
Cry Baby 535Q
i don't really like the sound of this wah in either voicing. prefer the Picture Wah by RMC, more vocal and less synth-y sounding.
