The Dunlop BB535R Cry Baby BB535 Wah Reissue revives a growling, mid-heavy 90s rock wah voicing, with a velvety, warm, vocal character especially in the middle and low frequencies thanks to its inductor choice. Six distinct wah voices span everything from snappy vintage funk and classic rock sweep to the snarling, mid-forward wah tones that defined 90s rock, letting players dial in a specific era's character rather than one fixed voicing. An adjustable, switchable boost circuit based on the MXR Micro Amp lets players match their guitar's output and volume to the wah for a more consistent feel.
The Dunlop Jerry Cantrell Firefly Cry Baby Wah is a signature pedal custom-voiced around Alice in Chains frontman Jerry Cantrell's dark, punchy grunge aesthetic. The pedal features a custom inductor tuned specifically for tight, punchy heel-down tone and a side-control knob for fine-tuning toe-down frequency. Unlike brighter wah designs, the Firefly delivers a dark, moody, vocal character without intense high-treble quack, making it particularly effective in moderate to heavy overdrive and distortion contexts. The limited-edition Firefly features glow-in-the-dark artwork on the tread, front badge, and bottom plate—an aesthetic nod to Cantrell's 2021 solo album Brighten.
