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 Zvex Vexter Wah Probe is a theremin-controlled wah pedal from Z.Vex Effects (Minneapolis, Minnesota), using a proximity antenna (theremin-style) rather than a rocker pedal to control the wah frequency — brightening as the player's foot or hand approaches the antenna. It includes a Super Hard-On boost circuit with Range (brightness), Volume, and Mix controls, enabling the wah effect at any desired output level.
