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 Vox V847A is a reissue of the classic 1960s and 1970s Vox wah, delivering the same vocal growl era rock guitarists relied on, with a warm, throaty character that's slightly darker than many modern wahs. As the treadle rocks, the sweep morphs smoothly between a low-pass and high-pass filtering character, almost analog-synth-like in its motion, giving it real vocal expressiveness on lead lines. It suits rock, funk, and blues players wanting an authentic vintage Vox wah voice for both cutting leads and clean, funky rhythm chop.
