The Dunlop EC95 Eric Clapton Cry Baby Wah is a signature, limited-edition version of the classic GCB95 Cry Baby, delivering the same benchmark midrange-focused, vocal wah sweep as the standard model rather than a re-voiced circuit. It has no additional controls beyond the standard Cry Baby design, focused purely on capturing the classic wah tone Clapton used to add expressive depth to his 1980s recordings, housed in a distinctive gold-plated casting as a collector's edition. It suits blues and rock players wanting the classic, foundational Cry Baby wah sweep in a Clapton-associated signature edition.
The Real McCoy Custom RMC4 Picture Wah recreates the original 1967 Clyde McCoy wah tone through a blueprinted circuit modeled on a vintage Italian Picture Wah, built by Geoffrey Teese, who earned a reputation as the wah guru after years spent repairing and studying vintage Italian and English wah pedals dating back to the 1960s. Carlos Santana runs the chrome-topped version as the wah in his notably sparse pedalboard, visible and audible on the Live at Montreux 2011 release, feeding directly from his Pete Cornish LD-1 line driver into what functions as essentially his sole dedicated effect for shaping his signature vocal-like lead tone.
