Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.54% — moderately similar

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.
This is a circuit-accurate replica printed circuit board for the Clyde McCoy era Vox wah, populated with all components already soldered rather than sold as a bare board, aimed at the DIY pedal-building and wah-modding community. The Clyde McCoy designation refers to the specific inductor and potentiometer values found in the earliest, most prized run of Vox wah pedals, named after the trumpet player whose muted-horn playing inspired the wah effect's vocal quality, and remains the benchmark tone that later Vox and Dunlop Crybaby wahs are measured against. Halo produces these boards specifically so builders can source an accurate reproduction of that original circuit without hunting down vintage parts.
