Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

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 JH-1B Jimi Hendrix Signature Wah is the officially licensed Jimi Hendrix signature Cry Baby wah pedal, tuned to replicate the specific wah voicing Hendrix used on recordings including Purple Haze, Voodoo Child, and Little Wing. Features a Fasel inductor for the resonant vintage wah character associated with Hendrix's original Vox and Thomas Organ wah pedals. Black enclosure. One of the defining signature wah pedals in the Dunlop lineup.
