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 V847 is a faithful interpretation of the original classic wah pedal that Vox introduced in 1967, closely based on the Clyde McCoy-branded model of that era. It delivers vintage-style quack with an expressive, vocal sweep that suits classic rock, funk, and blues, working well with both clean and distorted tones. Its voicing leans retro, with a certain clarity rather than the punch of more modern wahs, and modern versions add a buffered input and optional AC power for improved usability while keeping the classic sound. Durable, simple, and classic-looking, it offers tones straight out of the late 1960s. It suits players wanting an authentic, affordable vintage wah for expressive lead and rhythm playing, capturing the original Vox wah character in a road-ready pedal.
