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 AT95 Akira Takasaki Cry Baby Fuzz Wah is a signature pedal for Akira Takasaki, guitarist of Japanese heavy metal band Loudness. It combines a Cry Baby wah circuit with a switchable onboard fuzz, custom-voiced for a low-frequency sweep tailored to Takasaki's fast, aggressive playing style. Auto-return switching engages the wah only when the pedal is depressed, and LED indicators show the active status of fuzz and wah independently. Designed for heavy metal, shred, and high-gain lead playing.

The Dunlop JCT95 Justin Chancellor Cry Baby is a signature bass wah designed for the Tool bassist, built to handle low end while delivering expressive, vocal wah sweeps. It offers two switchable voicings plus a vintage fuzz and a bypass delay feature, letting bassists move between classic wah tones and more aggressive, effected textures. Voiced to preserve bass fundamentals while still cutting through, it suits progressive, alternative and metal bass players who want dynamic, dramatic wah and grit in the style of Tool's atmospheric, rhythmic basslines. The combination of dual voicings, fuzz and delay makes it a flexible expression tool tailored to modern bass playing.
