The Original Wah

The CRYBABY has been a standard in the world of music since its introduction in the late 1960's. Its rugged construction and efficient design have graced the foot of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, David Gilmour, and many other guitar greats.

Wah Versatility

By rocking your foot back and forth on the pedal, you can change the effect that the CRYBABY has on the tone of your instrument instantaneously. Toe down will give you more treble, heel down will give you more bass. The speed and amount of effect you use depends on your style of playing.

When placing the pedal in one position, you will hear a boost in that particular frequency. This boost can be used to add sustain and create feedback of a desired overtone.

Solid Construction

The CRYBABY features a heavy, die-cast construction, for a road-ready wah pedal that'll provide years of reliability.

Hot Potz Potentiometer

The original CRYBABY boasts a 100K ohm Hot Potz potentiometer, built to last and providing you with a quick, abrupt wah sound.

Powering Options

Product description

Dunlop Cry Baby Classics are so popular that in many circles, guitarists use the term "Crybaby" to describe wah pedals in general the way people use "Band-aid" and "Kleenex" for "bandage" and "tissue." There's a good reason for this. For the same reason you're not supposed to jump on the bed, wah pedals need to be able to take a ton of abuse.Dunlop Cry Baby Classic are built like a steel girder - from its frame down to its pots, this thing is built to withstand serious beatings.

Back in the 1960s, the wah pedal was born. Those original pedals, which included the first CRYBABY, are among the most sought-after effects of all time.

Fasel inductors help recreate the classic wah sound.

Fasel Inductors

When you think about the classic wah-wah sounds of the 60s, you think about British bluesmen and psychedelic American rockers, not Italy. But those Sunshine-y and Foxey tones could not have existed without the Italian-made Fasel inductors that were in the first wah pedals--including the original Crybaby. These inductors were the key to the pedals' tone, but have been unavailable for years. Not anymore. Your Crybaby Classic with Fasel Inside will faithfully recreate the vocal sweep and lush harmonics from those timeless recordings. Plug in your Crybaby Classic and hear what you've been missing.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this suck the life out of your tone like some other wah's
Answer:	We have sold alot of these wahs and that is one response that we don't get from end users. Ifyou really are worried, Buy the CAE404 or the Xotic effects Wah and you will never have to worry about it again
Question:	is it possible to use this pedal for other songs (other than slash)? Is it so distinctive? Thank you
Answer:	You can use this pedal for all kind of different songs and music. There are no limitations to it
Question:	Does the sound really change between the Slash signature one and the basic cry baby
Answer:	Hi Juan,Yes the sound is definitely different between the GCB95 Crybaby and the SW-95. Dunlop and Slash did a lot of proto-typing, etc to get the SW-95 to fit just the sound Slash wanted. We have this in stock ready to ship if you decide to order!Thanks,Aaron @ Macdaddy Music
Question:	Can I plug my Marshall Code 25 in it
Answer:	Yes, you'd need two cables, one between your guitar and the Wah, one between the Wah and your amp. Brian Meader Sales Manager The Guitar Sanctuary

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this better than 95Q
Answer:	Define better. Physically it's the same quality build. It has more features. More features is only "better" if you need the features.
Question:	Does the 535Q function as a volume pedal when not in wah mode
Answer:	Nope, it's a wah pedal, not a volume pedal....
Question:	Has anyone been able to adjust this to go between guitar and bass? I play both for different bands and am looking for a way to carry less gear
Answer:	I've tried plugging in my bass through it... it doesn't quite scoop the right frequencies for it-- sounds anemic and flat. I know Dunlop makes a bass wah pedal for this purpose if you're looking for an expression pedal. But what I like about the 535Q is that it's tailored with settings for the more advanced/professional player looking for that dynamic 'wah' sound. Sounds very warm & punchy through an EFX pedal or clean... Have fun!
Question:	Does this variant have the auto heel return thing on the pedal
Answer:	No, it doesn't. It operates solely by the movement of the foot rocking heel to toe. Wherever you stop your foot's movement is where the wah frequency/sweep will be set at (unless, you click down all the way on the toe end to go into bypass mode). The only pedals I know of that have the auto-return feature, is the Bad Horsie Wah by Morley and at least one other model they make. They have increased their pedal line and have a very large number of wah-wah's you might be interested in. Check out their website.
