Cry Baby Dunlop Cry Baby Custom Badass GCB65
Cry Baby · pedal
The Dunlop Cry Baby Custom Badass GCB65 is a premium wah pedal using dual inductors instead of the single inductor found in the standard GCB95 circuit, producing a wider, more complex wah sweep that covers more of the guitar's frequency range at once for a richer, more vocal character. It suits players who want a deeper, more textured wah voice than the standard Cry Baby sweep, in the same GCB65 chassis and control layout as Dunlop's other Cry Baby wahs.
