Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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 Real McCoy Custom RMC4 Picture Wah is a hand-crafted wah pedal inspired by the circa-1967 Italian-made Vox Clyde McCoy, delivering classic vintage wah character from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The circuit employs a custom-designed inductor, RFI and EMI filtering, licensed fuzz technology from Foxrox Electronics, and the proprietary RMC Roc-Pot potentiometer. The pedal delivers a smooth, even sweep with no breaks or dropouts, offering a vocal-like quality ideal for rock, blues, and funk genres. The long, smooth sweep is greasy and expressive, with excellent compatibility with fuzz pedals for layered tonal exploration.
