Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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 Colored Crybaby Tread is a cosmetic variant of the Dunlop Cry Baby GCB95 wah pedal, featuring a colored rubberized tread grip surface on the rocker for enhanced visual appeal and foot traction. The underlying circuit is the classic Cry Baby GCB95 with its characteristic mid-forward frequency sweep. The colored tread finish differentiates it visually without altering the circuit or tonal performance. The GCB95 wah is one of the most widely used wah pedals in rock history, valued for its vocal, expressive mid-hump sweep.
