How to Align the Envelope Modulator on a Dunlop Crybaby Pedal

소개

Use this guide for realigning the envelope modulator on a Dunlop Crybaby Pedal.

The envelope modulator is what modulates the amplitudes inside the pedal. Without it, the pedal will not create or amplify sounds like it is supposed to.

If a Dunlop Crybaby Pedal is dropped or damaged, the envelope modulator could fall out of place. This can result in the pedal not working properly, and not producing the sound. In order to fix the pedal, the envelope modulator will need to be realigned.

If the pedal is unresponsive or suddenly stops working, this easy fix could bring your pedal back to life. This guide will walk through the process of taking off the back panel, finding the envelope modulator, and tightening it back into place so it is realigned.
