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 Friedman No More Tears Gold-72 Wah is a premium wah pedal delivering vocal, throaty wah character with user customization options not found on standard wah pedals. A three-position sweep switch hidden under the treadle selects between different sweep voicings. An Allen screw under the heel adjusts treadle tension to taste. Switchable buffered bypass and true bypass modes are both transparent. Covers Hendrix-style vocal wah, cocked nasal resonance in the Schenker tradition, and expressive sweeping lead wah.
