Description

The Dunlop Colored Crybaby Tread is a cosmetic variant of the Dunlop Cry Baby GCB95 wah pedal, featuring a colored rubberized tread grip surface on the rocker for enhanced visual appeal and foot traction. The underlying circuit is the classic Cry Baby GCB95 with its characteristic mid-forward frequency sweep. The colored tread finish differentiates it visually without altering the circuit or tonal performance. The GCB95 wah is one of the most widely used wah pedals in rock history, valued for its vocal, expressive mid-hump sweep.

The Dunlop DB1B Dimebag Crybaby From Hell Wah is an aggressive metal wah pedal based on Dimebag Darrell's custom wah specification, originally designed for his specific heavy metal wah tone used in Pantera. The "From Hell" name reflects the extreme heavy metal character of the wah voicing with a wide, aggressive frequency sweep suited for heavy rhythm and lead. DB1B designates the specific black enclosure variant.
