Dunlop · pedal
The Dunlop EC95 Eric Clapton Cry Baby Wah is a signature, limited-edition version of the classic GCB95 Cry Baby, delivering the same benchmark midrange-focused, vocal wah sweep as the standard model rather than a re-voiced circuit. It has no additional controls beyond the standard Cry Baby design, focused purely on capturing the classic wah tone Clapton used to add expressive depth to his 1980s recordings, housed in a distinctive gold-plated casting as a collector's edition. It suits blues and rock players wanting the classic, foundational Cry Baby wah sweep in a Clapton-associated signature edition.
