Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Dunlop JH-1 Jimi Hendrix Signature Wah.

Features and functionality

  • The Jimi Hendrix model features a wider frequency sweep compared to the standard Cry Baby, which can affect tonal range and expression.

    Source
  • The JH-1 model features a lower sweep range due to two additional capacitors, a resistor change, and a different value pot compared to the GCB-95.

    Source
  • The Hendrix wah's center frequency is altered by a doubled capacitor value, resulting in a darker, more growly tone.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Some users suggest the Electro-Harmonix Crying Tone for a better sound with no moving parts, which can be an advantage over Dunlop models.

    Source
  • The Crybaby 535Q is highlighted as versatile, offering multiple wah settings, including a Jimi Hendrix setting, providing broader tonal options.

    Source
  • It's been noted that the Hendrix wah might resemble a Vox's smoother, mellower sound despite being housed in a Crybaby shell.

    Source
  • A Vox V846 offers more bite and a distinct mid-range sound compared to the bass/mid-focused Dunlop Hendrix wah.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners of the Jimi Hendrix Cry Baby often wish they had chosen a VOX wah instead, indicating potential preference differences.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Adjusting the pot gear position on a GCB-95 can mimic the JH-1's tonal characteristics by finding the preferred sweet spot.

    Source
  • The Fulltone Clyde Deluxe includes a buffer designed for fuzz pedals, unlike the Vox 846, which requires modification for optimal fuzz use.

Critic Reviews

JH-1 Jimi Hendrix Wah Wah Review: 10 years and going strong. the only bad thing about it... | Dunlop | Guitar Effects | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

ultimate-guitar.com

The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix JH-1 Wah Pedal delivers a quintessential Hendrix vibe with a smooth frequency sweep and robust build quality. It's simple to use and durable enough to last a decade of stomps and kicks. While it excels with clean tones and provides crunch to power chords, it struggles in high note soloing and lacks the thickness of some competitors. The pedal's sound shines before modulation effects but falters with distortion. Despite minor gripes like a hard-to-press on/off switch and short battery life, it's a solid choice for those seeking classic wah tones, promising longevity and reliability.

JH-1 Jimi Hendrix Wah Wah Review: I would definitly buy this product again. This is a great... | Dunlop | Guitar Effects | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

ultimate-guitar.com

The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix JH-1 Wah Pedal dazzles with its authentic Hendrix vibe, making it a must-have for classic rock enthusiasts. Praised for its reliability and ease of use, it excels in delivering that iconic "crybaby" tone. However, it falters under high distortion, with the lows fading out, and it's notorious for quick battery drain. While some users critique its sweep and find it lacking for metal genres, its durability and value for money shine through, especially for those seeking vintage tones without breaking the bank.

I'm not sure what makes this a hendrix wah

a buddy gave me this when I needed a wah for one part in a song and didn't have one. It sounds like a generic cry bay to me. Even with a vintage marshall, fuzzface, Octavia and strat it never did a bang up voodoo child or anything, but it got the job done for that one song while it was in the set, then I returned it. So I guess I didn't technically own it. I really didn't like the sound of this wah wah through my gear at the time and that gear was, incidentally very hendrixy

The Best CryBaby Tone

In the title of this review you can read:" Best CryBaby Tone " and I´ll tell you why. I´m very inspired on Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix tones and one thing I can tell you is that Hendrix had never, never, never ever in his whole life stepped on a CryBaby pedal but , thats the CryBaby that gets closer to the Vox´s Wah vintage tone . And the reason why I din´t bought a Vox Wah pedal it´s because today, they are not built in U.S.A anymore, they built in China so, they lost the same quality and CryBaby´s where always built in US. This model has more voice, more trebles ans basses, and it sound´s deeper, like if you could move your foot more deeper ( in both ways). But , how I really like even deeper, vocal and with more trebles Wah tone ( just like Voodoo Child´s wah tone) , I decided to mod it on a specialized place to make it sound even better than a vintage Vox and actually, they changed the switch for a true bypass one and now, I have a green led when it is On. I recommend it

The to Do the Voodoo

I use this baby for mostly Clapton, Cream or Blind Faith tunes, or just to jam in places where a Wah-Wah sounds good. Every now and then I attempt a pathetic version of Voodoo Chile but I have a lot of fun with it.

BEST WAH EVER

I love this wah. On all of my wah tracks I use this and it is amazing combined with my other pedals. 100% recommend no questions asked.

cbfintheflesh18

also, all of my current albums (the covers, hell unleashed in Wichita, and whatever album Western Nights pt2 [I cannot remember]) I have not used this as they are all done on GarageBand, but plans for Hell Unleashed in Witchita Pt2 will have me using the iRig and I will use it on that or any electric demo tapes with wah.

sebastrail

Excellent.

If it would have more range, it would be perfect. Off course it has the Hendrix tone

gary_x_wei

It's OKay

I had a JH1D wah pedal, and it was decent, just not versatile enough for me. I found the sweep range too fickle and treble-y and sharp.

steady

Effective. High's not too high. Low's not too low. Good pedal.

mine is the jh-1s . special ;)

An interview with Perry done in 2004:

It’s a Cry Baby. Pretty much a standard Hendrix model. But I’ve had it tweaked and had some of the old parts put in there. I have a good friend who is into that stuff, and he’ll take an old pedal and take out some of the cheesier parts, and put in some of the old stuff. And then you’ve got the best of both worlds.
