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 Vox VRM-1 Real McCoy Wah is a faithful recreation of the legendary 1960s Clyde McCoy wah, the first wah pedal ever made, developed with input honoring the original creators. It is renowned for its iconic nasal voice and emphasized midrange, imparting a warm, melodic, vocal quality ideal for expressive lead guitar. Subtle modification of the inductor coils enables that classic nasal tone, and larger carbon film resistors with carefully selected capacitors deliver a warm, smooth sweep. It runs on battery with long life. Rather than a bright or aggressive modern wah, it captures vintage warmth and a singing midrange. It suits players chasing authentic 1960s wah tones, classic rock and blues lead expression, and a warm, melodic, vocal wah character in a vintage-styled pedal.
