Cry Baby Jimi Hendrix Wah
Cry Baby · pedal
The Dunlop Cry Baby JH-1 Jimi Hendrix Wah is based on the modified GCB95 circuit that Jimi Hendrix had his tech alter before performances, shifting the wah frequency range to a slightly lower pitch position for a fatter, more open sound. Produces the distinctive Hendrix wah character associated with classic recordings and live performances. Loaded with a Fasel inductor to match the vintage original character. Uses germanium transistors for the authentic vintage tone associated with Hendrix's wah use.
