Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Dunlop CB95 Crybaby is a wah pedal variant within Dunlop's extensive Cry Baby lineup, carrying the CB95 model designation. It delivers the classic Cry Baby wah sweep and vocal-like tonal character that has made the platform one of the most widely used and recognizable wah effects in music history.

The Real McCoy Custom RMC4 Picture Wah recreates the original 1967 Clyde McCoy wah tone through a blueprinted circuit modeled on a vintage Italian Picture Wah, built by Geoffrey Teese, who earned a reputation as the wah guru after years spent repairing and studying vintage Italian and English wah pedals dating back to the 1960s. Carlos Santana runs the chrome-topped version as the wah in his notably sparse pedalboard, visible and audible on the Live at Montreux 2011 release, feeding directly from his Pete Cornish LD-1 line driver into what functions as essentially his sole dedicated effect for shaping his signature vocal-like lead tone.
