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.

The Dunlop Cry Baby Standard GCB95 is the original and most iconic wah pedal, the basis of the entire Cry Baby wah lineup. Features a simple single-rocker design with one Rate potentiometer controlling the wah sweep range. Powered by a 9V battery or DC power adapter. Produced since 1966 and used on countless classic rock, blues, funk, and psychedelic recordings. The standard wah pedal against which all others are measured. Single inductor circuit with halo-style inductor.
The Morley 20/20 Wah Lock is a compact, switchless wah that combines Morley's modern optical wah with a lock function for fixed cocked-wah tones. Engaging the treadle gives a smooth, full-frequency Morley wah sweep, while the lock feature freezes the filter at a chosen position for the throaty, mid-honking cocked-wah voice often used for fixed filter rhythm and lead tones. It uses Morley's electro-optical circuitry with no scratchy pots, switchless activation, and the 20/20 buffer circuit to prevent tone loss. Built like a tank with glow-in-the-dark details, it suits rock, metal, and funk players who want both a sweeping wah and an instantly available locked cocked-wah tone in one rugged, pedalboard-friendly unit.
