Description

The Dunlop Cry Baby BG95 is a signature wah pedal built for blues legend Buddy Guy, based on the classic GCB95 Cry Baby circuit with voicing adjustments tailored to his highly expressive, vocal-like wah playing. It delivers the same throaty, midrange-focused sweep the standard Cry Baby is known for, tuned to respond well to slow, singing, conversational wah phrasing rather than the faster, more percussive wah style common in funk or rock. It suits blues players wanting an expressive, vocal wah character closely tied to one of the genre's most influential guitarists.

The Dunlop Buddy Guy Signature Cry Baby is a wah pedal built to the specification of the Chicago blues guitarist, whose expressive, vocal-like phrasing makes heavy use of the wah as a tonal voice rather than a rhythmic effect. Signature Cry Baby models typically adjust the sweep range, Q and inductor choice to suit the artists playing style rather than changing the basic circuit topology. It suits blues and blues rock players wanting a wah voiced for expressive, singing lead lines.
