Description
Introducing the Dunlop Cry Baby 105Q Bass Wah Pedal, a unique effect pedal crafted specifically for bass guitar. This pedal is not your average addition to the gear setup, but a tool to explore unseen horizons of music. It's designed to unleash your creativity, offering a growling, funky dynamic to your bass tone, without compromising its fundamental character.
With the Dunlop Cry Baby 105Q, you are in total control of your music. It comes with a Q dial that allows you to adjust the frequency range and intensity to your liking. Set it to a narrow range for a more vocal, resonant quality, or open it up for a wider sweep.

Not just that, this pedal is built to handle the rigors of the road and the energy of live performance. Its die-cast housing is virtually indestructible, ensuring years of dependable use. The foot-activated controls are intuitive, allowing for quick changes on the fly.
