Dunlop Cry Baby Junior CBJ95SB
Dunlop · pedal
The Dunlop CBJ95 Cry Baby Junior, here in special edition black, is Dunlop's first wah engineered from the ground up for pedalboards, with a compact eight inch chassis and front mounted jacks so it slots into crowded boards. Three instantly selectable voicings, H, M and L, span the full wah spectrum, with H delivering the Cry Baby's trademark aggressive, treble forward snarl, M providing a midrange heavy growl reminiscent of vintage wahs, and L yielding a warm, bassy purr ideal for rhythm. It suits rock, funk, blues and lead players who want classic Cry Baby wah tones with modern voicing flexibility in a space saving, gig ready format.
