Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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 Morley 20/20 Power Fuzz Wah pairs Morley's widest frequency wah sweep with a built-in fuzz circuit for monstrous, aggressive fuzz-wah tones in a compact switchless enclosure. It offers two fuzz voices: a Vintage Fuzz mode that emulates the old-school ripped-speaker sound of the original MPSA12 transistors, and a Modern Fuzz mode that is tighter and more like guitar distortion. The fuzz can be used on its own as a dirt box or combined with the sweeping wah for thick, psychedelic, vocal textures. Morley's electro-optical switchless design engages on the glow-in-the-dark treadle and bypasses when you step off, with a true tone buffer and tank-like build. It suits rock, metal, and psychedelic players chasing expressive, gnarly fuzz-wah in a rugged, pedalboard-friendly unit.
