Dunlop EVH95 User manual

EDDIE VAN HALEN
SIGNATURE WAH WAH

Congratulations on your purchase of the Eddie Van Halen Signature Wah Wah
from Dunlop. Dunlop is the most trusted name in wah pedal manufacturing
and the EVH-95 is designed to give you unparalleled sound quality and years
of dependable service. Please take a minute to read through this manual so
you can get the most out of your EVH-95.

The EVH Wah Wah is the latest offering in the celebrated EVH Signature
Series, developed after intensive design collaboration with the legendary
guitarist. Early on in the process, Eddie handed over his “Holy Grail”
Crybaby—a standard Crybaby customized in the early Nineties with a more
vocal-like, High Q inductor and a wider frequency sweep. Amazingly, we
found that over the years Eddie’s unique wah style, which uses mostly the
middle range of the pedal’s action, had carved his own curve into the pot’s
resistive element, making the middle range even more defined and increased
the low-end sweep. Our clones of the worn-in pot and hand-selected inductor
give the new EVH Wah Wah the same “Holy Grail” feel and tone, and its true
hardwire bypass, dual bright blue bypass LEDs, and graphics based on the
black and yellow-striped guitar featured on Van Halen II round out this EVH­approved Crybaby with a voice and look all its own.

ADJUSTABLE ROCKER TORQUE

This pedal comes with an adjustable torque clutch that allows the user to
control the amount of resistance the rocker has to being moved. The
adjustment is located under the rocker at the heel of the pedal. By placing the
rocker toe down and looking under the rocker heel, you can see an adjustment
allen head screw. By turning this screw clockwise you can increase the rocker
torque and conversely, counterclockwise, decreases the rocker torque.
Wrench included.
