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 CBJ95 Cry Baby Junior, here in special edition black, is Dunlop's first wah engineered from the ground up for pedalboards, with a compact eight inch chassis and front mounted jacks so it slots into crowded boards. Three instantly selectable voicings, H, M and L, span the full wah spectrum, with H delivering the Cry Baby's trademark aggressive, treble forward snarl, M providing a midrange heavy growl reminiscent of vintage wahs, and L yielding a warm, bassy purr ideal for rhythm. It suits rock, funk, blues and lead players who want classic Cry Baby wah tones with modern voicing flexibility in a space saving, gig ready format.

The Dunlop Cry Baby GCB95 is the standard-production version of the original Cry Baby wah pedal, built around a Fasel red inductor and a halo-style pot that defines the classic late-1960s wah sweep character. It produces a midrange-focused vocal sweep that sharpens attack on distorted lead tones and adds expressive movement to clean rhythm playing. Heavily associated with the foundational wah sounds of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Slash, and Tom Morello, it is among the best-selling and most widely used wah pedals in production. Genre fit is broad: blues, rock, funk, metal, and psychedelic rock all use this pedal's sweep as a core element.
