The Dunlop GCB65 Cry Baby Custom Badass Dual-Inductor Wah features two switchable wah inductors, the Fasel red and yellow, allowing two distinct wah voices in one pedal. The inductor is the most critical component in wah tone shaping, and the GCB65 provides instant switching between the two different inductor characters for access to multiple classic wah voicings.
