Similarity
citedBlended 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.

Description

The Dunlop Cry Baby Junior is a compact, smaller-format wah pedal built on the same core Cry Baby wah circuit as the standard-size models, delivering the familiar vocal wah sweep in a smaller, more pedalboard-efficient enclosure. It suits players who want the traditional Cry Baby wah voicing without the footprint of a full-size wah, ideal for travel rigs or space-constrained boards.

The Friedman Gold-72 Wah is a high-end wah pedal from American amplifier maker Friedman, designed to capture vintage 1970s Cry Baby wah character with custom voicing and premium component selection. The 72 designation references the vintage year of wah character inspiration. Friedman amplifiers are used by professional rock and metal guitarists worldwide, and the Gold-72 brings the same quality standard to wah pedals.
