The Dunlop Akira Takasaki Cry Baby Fuzz Wah is a signature model built with Japanese metal guitarist Akira Takasaki of Loudness, combining a classic Cry Baby wah sweep with an onboard fuzz that can be engaged or disengaged from the circuit, for aggressive, fuzzy wah tones in one pedal. A side-mounted low-frequency sweep control shapes the wah's frequency range, and auto-return switching lets players snap instantly between dry and effected tone mid-performance without a separate bypass action. Built around Takasaki's decades of heavy metal lead playing, it suits players wanting an all-out, aggressive combination of fuzz and wah rather than a subtle, clean wah voice.
The Dunlop EC95 Eric Clapton Cry Baby Wah is a signature, limited-edition version of the classic GCB95 Cry Baby, delivering the same benchmark midrange-focused, vocal wah sweep as the standard model rather than a re-voiced circuit. It has no additional controls beyond the standard Cry Baby design, focused purely on capturing the classic wah tone Clapton used to add expressive depth to his 1980s recordings, housed in a distinctive gold-plated casting as a collector's edition. It suits blues and rock players wanting the classic, foundational Cry Baby wah sweep in a Clapton-associated signature edition.
