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 Ibanez WH10 is a legendary wah pedal from Ibanez renowned for its distinctive vocal midrange sweep with a more honky, forward quality than traditional Dunlop or Vox wahs. The WH10 uses a different filter circuit topology producing a narrower, more aggressive sweep concentrated in the midrange. Famous users include John Frusciante of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. Originally discontinued, the WH10 became highly sought on the vintage market before Ibanez reissued the V3.
