The Dunlop Buddy Guy Signature Cry Baby is a wah pedal built to the specification of the Chicago blues guitarist, whose expressive, vocal-like phrasing makes heavy use of the wah as a tonal voice rather than a rhythmic effect. Signature Cry Baby models typically adjust the sweep range, Q and inductor choice to suit the artists playing style rather than changing the basic circuit topology. It suits blues and blues rock players wanting a wah voiced for expressive, singing lead lines.
The Dunlop GCJ95 Gary Clark Jr. Cry Baby is a signature wah modified for a lower frequency range and a tighter sweep, tuned to complement Gary Clark Jr.'s emotional, percussive blues and roots playing. The lowered voicing gives a thicker, throatier wah that emphasizes warmth and grit over piercing treble, sitting naturally with overdriven and fuzzed tones. It suits blues, soul and rock players who want a vocal, expressive wah with a darker, more rounded character than a standard Cry Baby. The tighter sweep makes it responsive and musical for rhythmic, groove based phrasing as well as expressive lead work.
