Cry Baby Dunlop Akira Takasaki Cry Baby Fuzz Wah

Cry Baby · pedal

The Dunlop Akira Takasaki Cry Baby Fuzz Wah is a signature model built with Japanese metal guitarist Akira Takasaki of Loudness, combining a classic Cry Baby wah sweep with an onboard fuzz that can be engaged or disengaged from the circuit, for aggressive, fuzzy wah tones in one pedal. A side-mounted low-frequency sweep control shapes the wah's frequency range, and auto-return switching lets players snap instantly between dry and effected tone mid-performance without a separate bypass action. Built around Takasaki's decades of heavy metal lead playing, it suits players wanting an all-out, aggressive combination of fuzz and wah rather than a subtle, clean wah voice.
