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.

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.

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.
277
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.

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

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.

"Of course we have the Jimi Hendrix Dunlop Wah. Joe loves it. That's his favorite Wah. That's what we use," says Joe Perry's guitar tech.
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.
