Critic Reviews

Dunlop Crybaby 95Q Wah Review — Mark Starlin

markstarlin.com

The Dunlop Crybaby 95Q Wah offers a robust set of features that make it stand out among its peers. With a roadworthy metal case, it excels in durability while providing user-friendly battery access. The volume boost knob adds up to +15 dB, perfect for making solos pop, although it requires caution to avoid accidental activation. The variable Q dial allows precise tonal adjustments, though its small size may frustrate some users. The standout auto engage feature simplifies live performances, but might not suit those who use wah in static positions. Despite minor usability quirks, the 95Q excels in versatility and meets high expectations, making it a solid choice for guitarists who need customizable wah tones.

Reviews > Effects > Crybaby 95Q Wah : DIY Fever – Building my own guitars, amps and pedals

diy-fever.com

The Dunlop 95Q Cry Baby Wah impresses with its switchless operation, making it effortless to use, and its sturdy metal build ensures durability. Its variable Q adds versatility, and the built-in booster, while not always necessary, offers an extra 15dB for when you need more gain. However, the plastic bypass switch raises durability concerns, and the SMD components limit modding possibilities. Overall, a solid choice for those valuing ease of use and reliability.

Great Wah

This is my first Wah pedal I have and I honestly think I wouldn’t need another. You can change where the “bite” of the Wah occurs in the frequency range on one of the two knobs on the left hand side. The other knob changes the volume. On the right hand side there is a boost function which gives around 10db of boost to your signal. I think it’s very versatile and could be used for anything between funky rhythms to melt your face off shredding.

Classic Effect with Increased Ease of Use

I love the switchless, optical wah-wahs - quickly adding some sweep to a part on a whim, without having to hit a switch, is glorious. The boost feature helps beef the signal you lose when using it, and the Q control helps fine-tune the sweep to your taste. Absolute winner!

dependable..

Even though this pedal is for electric guitar I use it with my bass. I wish I could darken the tone a bit for bass. I usually kick the bass and lower the treble on the bass to get a fatter tone.. Had it for 15 years... very well build.. no problems at all.. big footprint though.. may switch to all in one pedals wah/volume if good one comes in my way..

Melhor cry baby que já vi

Esse pedal é maravilhoso pra dar aquele empurrão nos bends, e fazer aqueles "fades" tipo o do começo gloves (aliado ao memory boy e hall of fame).. uso principalmente em Masks, Wide Eyed, Denial e Gloves.
