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 JAM Pedals Wahcko is a boutique, hand-painted wah with a vocal, musical sweep and a Bass control to tune low-end response. Used by Steve Lukather, it offers a smooth, expressive sweep from classic vintage wah to a more aggressive voice, suited to rock and fusion lead and funk rhythm. Its boutique build and tunable voicing make it a refined alternative to standard wahs.
