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 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.

The Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95 is the legendary wah-wah pedal defined by a responsive sweep, musical response curve, and classic rock pedigree. Its simple single-pedal design provides expressive tone-shaping from funk quacks to soaring lead wails. The GCB-95 remains the standard wah pedal for rock, blues, and funk players worldwide.
