The Dunlop Cry Baby is the original production wah pedal, built around a responsive sweep and musical response curve that has defined the classic wah sound since the late 1960s. It ranges from a vocal, midrange-focused quack on funk rhythm playing to a soaring, expressive sweep on sustained lead lines, and its simple, rugged construction has made it a road-tested staple for decades. It suits blues, rock, funk, and psychedelic playing, and remains the benchmark wah pedal most other wah designs are compared against.
The Vox V846 Vintage is a faithful recreation of the legendary 1966-1968 Vox V846 wah pedal from Vox (Korg Japan), capturing the aggressive, wider sweep and pronounced high-end of the original Italian-made inductor-based wah used by Jimi Hendrix and early Eric Clapton. Considered the second iconic Vox wah after the V847, it delivers the nasal, forward midrange cry of classic psychedelic rock.
