He bought himself a Gretch recently and it is almost the only guitar he plays (he has vintage Ovation Glenn Campbell and a US made Les Paul jr too).
disagree with cheap cable idea - they fail kinda quick. |
Crybaby draws very little current- it will be likely chewing up batteries because its left plugged in. When a cable is in the "input" (right side), its drawing current. As with almost every analogue pedal. When a 9v plug is inserted it disengages the battery.
Cheap cables do fail, and they often sound bad.
