standard reliable wah pedal
I have only ever owned one wah wah pedal and that is because I have only ever needed one wah wah pedal! That pedal is this pedal! No extra buttons or anything like it just normal wah wah. if you are looking for a standard reliable wah pedal this is the one for you!
Mi first pedal ever
It is great to experiment with this effect because you can give much more expresivity to your playing but it has a problem because it cuts the highs when it is off.
A true rock classic every guitar player should have.
If you play the real thing-the Dunlop Original Cry Baby wah pedal-you get the real sound. The heavy die-cast steel construction of this classic effect can take all the stompin' you've got in you. Totally smooth, silent, consistent, and easy to control. Made in the USA. Uses optional ECB-003 power supply.
They're the standard that wahs are judged by.
I've been using Cry Baby Wah's since I first start playing the guitar many years ago.
Standard staple of the fx chain
Easy to use and durable. I've had this one for 25 years..no longer actually. I use to for expression and subtle "crying" and also for percussive chunking and accents.
I use this mainly nowadays to get more ambient textures out of my amp than anything else but when I first got it I used it for a lot of reggae and I can't imagine not having one.
great started wah
iThis is it. One of the classic guitar pedals that started it all. The Dunlop Original Cry Baby Wah Wah Pedal is arguably one the most famous of Dunlop pedals with wah being one of most famous effects of all time. This iteration of the legendary Cry Baby Wah remains true to the orginal Thomas Organ design from 1966. Let’s see how it holds up to the test of time in our Dunlop Original Cry Baby Wah Wah pedal review. Want to know what a Cry Baby wah pedal sounds like? Go check out Voodoo Child (Slight Return) by Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton’s solo at the end of White Room by Cream. These are just a couple of the famous performances that o we their existence to the sound of the Cry Baby.
4.8/5 - So good. Still squeaks though.
This is the best wah pedal you could buy. It sounds so good, and there's just nothing better for classic wah sound. It's just excellent. The only downfall is the squeaking. It'll squeak relentlessly, but WD40 usually helps.
