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 95Q Cry Baby is a wah pedal with auto-return switching (it engages when you rock the treadle) plus a Q control to shape the sweep's intensity and a volume boost. It delivers the classic vocal Cry Baby sweep with added flexibility, suiting funk rhythm, rock and blues lead. Used by Larry Carlton among others, it is convenient live and tunable to taste.

The Dunlop Cry Baby GCB95 is the standard-production version of the original Cry Baby wah pedal, built around a Fasel red inductor and a halo-style pot that defines the classic late-1960s wah sweep character. It produces a midrange-focused vocal sweep that sharpens attack on distorted lead tones and adds expressive movement to clean rhythm playing. Heavily associated with the foundational wah sounds of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Slash, and Tom Morello, it is among the best-selling and most widely used wah pedals in production. Genre fit is broad: blues, rock, funk, metal, and psychedelic rock all use this pedal's sweep as a core element.
