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 Dimebag Cry Baby From Hell is a custom-tuned wah pedal featuring an extra-wide frequency range designed around Dimebag Darrell's aggressive playing style. The pedal delivers everything from throaty growl to all-out screaming highs, with a broader sweep than standard wah pedals enabling greater expressive range at both frequency extremes. The six-way tone control shifts the frequency range up or down to adapt the wah character to different tunings, pickups, and tonal contexts. The pedal features true bypass with fasel inductors to avoid tone-sucking, and dual LEDs indicate pedal and boost-function engagement.
