About this product

Product Information

Imitations are rarely as good as the original. When it comes to wah-wah effects, the Dunlop GCB95 Cry Baby wah pedal can set the standard in terms of sound and quality. You can get the classic wah howl that artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton loved in the 60s. This guitar effects petal can be an essential addition to your guitar gear. Dunlop is a US-based manufacturer of guitar, music gear and accessories. Its product roster includes strings, picks, capos, straps, effects pedals and multi-effects processors. Jim Dunlop founded his company in 1965 and earned instant recognition for producing quality effects and gear. The Dunlop Cry Baby Wah was one of the company’s original wahs. Although its sound was modeled after the Vox Cry Baby pedal, the Dunlop version quickly became the leader due to its excellent sound. It can create a rhythmic, slightly funky wah effect that appears on many famous recordings. Dunlop has also released several artist signature versions of the classic pedal, including the JH-1 Jimi Hendrix Signature, SW-95 Slash Signature, and ZW-45 Zakk Wylde Signature. Wah-wah can be an excellent effect to add to your guitar gear. This type of pedal bends the tone of your instrument, imitating the sound you make when you say “wah-wah.” Although it was originally intended to mimic the sound of a mute in a trumpet bell, the wah pedal developed its own characteristic howl. Wah pedals can work best in solos and lead guitar riffs. The Dunlop GCB95 Cry Baby wah pedal includes high quality electronics that can keep it sounding great through years of use. It features a Hot Potz potentiometer which can bend pitches with amazing response times. It features both a power adapter input and a battery connection, which can let you choose how you power the device. If you are near a power source, simply plug in the AC adapter. If you want to keep your stage clear of extra cables, you can add a 9-volt battery. The pedal includes a bypass switch, so you can turn it on and off while you continue to play. This effect’s inductor can help produce its classic analog sound. It can be easy to set up and start using the Dunlop Cry Baby wah pedal. You can simply add a power source, plug a guitar into the input connection, and connect the output to a guitar amp. Like most guitar pedals, this model connects to guitars, amplifiers, and gear with 1/4-inch patch cords. You can also chain this pedal to other effects such as reverb, overdrive, and gain. To create a chain, you can connect the input or output to other pedals instead of directly to your guitar and amp. Usually, the Cry Baby wah pedal works best in the first position in a chain; however, if you are using tuner or filter pedals, you could use those first in the chain. Whether you are a Jimi Hendrix fan or you listen to modern guitar greats, the Dunlop Cry Baby wah pedal can be a good addition to your effects gear. You can purchase this pedal to send a fantastic crying howl through your amp.

    The Cry Baby GCB95 is a decent wah Pedal

    Hello: The wah pedal has been around for a long time, over the years they have changed, but the basic effect is still there. I like Cry Baby Wah's, but the problem is they are not true bypass and they are tone suckers when plugged into your guitar and amplifier. Also the inductor in the wah is ok, but it lacks that classic tone. Dunlop offers true bypass wah's and wah's with better inductors, but they charge more for them, my opinion is to look up information on the internet, buy the parts yourself and try modding the wah yourself. it can be done and it is simple. The regular cry baby wah pedal can be found all over and very affordable. The old Wah's by Clyde Mc Coy, Vox, Thomas Organ and others are not the same, the tones are completely different, there are companies out there making Boutique wah pedals, but remember, they cost a lot more. Grab a cry baby and mod it yourself, you can dial in the sound you want without breaking the bank.

  • Top critical review

    The Cry-Baby has been around for decades and they've yet to address the core problems

    Cry-babies have always had two prblems, the switch under the treadle and the potentiometer, if you get too enthusiastic with the pedal,you shut it off, and the pot gets dirty and messes up the sound. But my neice wanted one for christmas so she got one. The Behringer Hellbabe is a much better pedal at a lower price.

  • The original Cry Baby Wah

    I got this wah pedal because it's needed for certain songs such as Money for Nothing - Dire Straits. I know that there are other brands of Wah pedals but some won't let you set it in one position and stay there when you take your foot off. But this one does and I like it. It seems to go through batteries quickly but it has an AC adapter which takes care of that problem. The Dunlop Wah pedals have heavy cast metal housings and are really durable. These pedals are expensive to buy new but this used one was more affordable, works perfectly and has the sound I wanted. The eBay seller was very accommodating of my request for a less expensive shipping option. Overall I am completely happy with this purchase.

  • hard to beat a crybaby

    one constant on my pedalboard for the last 48 years is the crybaby wah. the one that ebay asked me to review was actually and older gcb25, the ones before the power supply jack. it had a dunlop bottom plate on it, hence the confusion. but anyway you go, hard to beat a crybaby. they sound great, are built like a tank, and easy to mod to your ear's delight. everybody needs a good wah, and the real fancy expensive ones are nothing more than tricked out copies of this tried and true well tested circuit. the gcb95 has buffering, which may or may not be an issue. no stock crybabys are true bypass, either.

  • Dunlop Limited Edition Cry Baby Wah Pedal

    Really diggin the white finish on this. I thought they only came in the bass models but I was super stoked to get the White Limited Edition!! Has a short throw on the pedal, shorter action than the stock act Baby by Dunlop but I like that actually. Work well through the pedal and faster. Super sick pedal. Stoked to get it. Was the only one on eBay!! Thanks

  • A quality classic wah pedal that gets the job done.

    I'm a trumpet player who's been looking to add effects to my arsenal of sounds. I already have a multi-effects board, and wanted a stand-alone wah pedal. For some reason the Cry Baby name was familiar, plus the price was right, so I bought it. It has a nice round to in open and closed position. The wah effect is subtle, and requires more front end gain than my combo board. It's great for guitar/bass, but only so-so for trumpet unless you add a boost to your mic.

  • Clapton and Hendrix

    Two of the greatest guitarist of all time used this pedal. How can you go wrong with that? Mine works perfect I don't know if it's hot rodded or stock but it works excellent. I run my mini Vox AC30 plug in simulator into the Cry Baby and then into my computer interface to my Garageband DAW, I write neo psychedelic garage pop music and this fits the bill perfectly. Peace!

  • Cool pedal I got too much hum with mine

    this new cry baby guitar pedal was purchased to replace my old one just like it. It was replaced because of bad hum that it had. The issue with new one is the same hum so bad I can not use it. This situation leads me to think the source of hum is not the pedal but near by. Something is creating this very bad hum. When these pedals work they do sound cool. My advise here is to understand these pedals are likely to have hum in some places. I still can't find the source and have two pedals.

  • Back to basics pedal

    I was looking for a WAH, without all the bells and whistles, and this it. The range isn't very wide, but, the tones are very cool. It's great for slower swell type action, the more I use it, the more I Enjoy it.

  • Classic 1970's sound

    Yes, I recommend it - if you're looking for that classic '70s wah-wah, this is it. Yes, it was a good value - I got exactly what was described which means I needed to do a little work on it to restore it to like new condition. I think it cost a total of around $6 for the new parts. Yes, it's enjoyable - if you're looking for that classic '70s wah effect which I was. I've been playing guitar for over 45 years and in my mind if you're looking for a wah-wah pedal, the Cry Baby GCB-95 is still the gold standard. There are some players that complain about "tone sucking" from pedals like this because they don't use 3PDT switches (necessary for what's known as "true bypass") for switching the effect off. I had every intention of modifying this pedal when I got it to make it true bypass. I even bought the switch before it arrived! (a whole $4 more) I was very surprised and happy with the sound of the pedal in my chain and I don't notice any ill effects to the sound from my other pedals so I'm leaving it alone. FYI - I like my compressor first in the chain then the Cry Baby and everything else after that. All in all, I think most players will be happy with the "classic" sound of the Cry Baby and if not it's one of the easiest pedals to modify and cost very little to do so. You can also change out the inductor for about $20 if you feel like experimenting a little. I thought it was pretty cool back in the 70s and I still think the same now.
