Blended 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.41% — somewhat different

The Dunlop GCJ95 Gary Clark Jr. Cry Baby is a signature wah modified for a lower frequency range and a tighter sweep, tuned to complement Gary Clark Jr.'s emotional, percussive blues and roots playing. The lowered voicing gives a thicker, throatier wah that emphasizes warmth and grit over piercing treble, sitting naturally with overdriven and fuzzed tones. It suits blues, soul and rock players who want a vocal, expressive wah with a darker, more rounded character than a standard Cry Baby. The tighter sweep makes it responsive and musical for rhythmic, groove based phrasing as well as expressive lead work.
This is a circuit-accurate replica printed circuit board for the Clyde McCoy era Vox wah, populated with all components already soldered rather than sold as a bare board, aimed at the DIY pedal-building and wah-modding community. The Clyde McCoy designation refers to the specific inductor and potentiometer values found in the earliest, most prized run of Vox wah pedals, named after the trumpet player whose muted-horn playing inspired the wah effect's vocal quality, and remains the benchmark tone that later Vox and Dunlop Crybaby wahs are measured against. Halo produces these boards specifically so builders can source an accurate reproduction of that original circuit without hunting down vintage parts.
