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 GCB-95 is the legendary wah-wah pedal defined by a responsive sweep, musical response curve, and classic rock pedigree. Its simple single-pedal design provides expressive tone-shaping from funk quacks to soaring lead wails. The GCB-95 remains the standard wah pedal for rock, blues, and funk players worldwide.
