CryingMoon Description
CryingMoon is a meticulously crafted replica of the primary envelope filter “auto wah” pedal originally used by Frank Marino, tailored to deliver that signature sound, as heard in “Man at the Back Door”. We know that the CryingMoon will bring you much musical exploration and inspiration.
Controls
Range Switch
This switch controls the range of the wah effect. In the center position (High) it is full range while in the two other positions are narrower (Mid) and deeper still (Low).
Sens
This controls the sensitivity of the input to the pedal. Different guitars and instruments may require changing this level to suit those instruments. The usual position, most things considered, has been found to be approximately one o’clock.
Decay
This changes the speed at which the wah closes after being activated, from very fast (short) to very slow (long). Bear in mind that this knob interacts with the other two knobs. For example, a very low decay setting with an increase of sensitivity will cause the wah to be longer.
Attack
This knob controls the speed at which the envelope filter responds to the input signal. In simpler terms, it adjusts how quickly the effect kicks into full after you pluck a string. Try putting this knob at one o’clock to start with.

Sound Samples
The samples presented here are played by Frank Marino, directly into the CryingMoon, plugged into Frank’s amplifier (Fender Twin Style) / speaker system, and captured into a DAW.
