Owner Insights
We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Dunlop CBM95 Cry Baby Mini Wah.
Features and functionality
-
The CBM95 has a hidden voicing switch inside with L/M/H settings, allowing tonal customization that isn't available on full-sized models.
Source -
The mini's voicing switch options (L/M/H) provide tonal variations that mimic both vintage Vox and modern wah sounds.
Source -
The Classic model has op-amp in/out buffers, whereas the mini features only a transistor input buffer, impacting tonal and volume characteristics.
Source -
Both the Classic and mini wahs are expected to have the Red Fasel inductor, but differences here could account for tonal variations.
Source -
The pedal draws only 0.9mA, allowing long battery life when unplugged, with users reporting extended use since early 2019 without battery change.
Source -
Owners appreciate the internal three-position switch for tonal customization, with some preferring the low setting for better fuzz interaction.
Source
User experience
-
The mini's smaller size results in a shorter, more abrupt travel, which some users adjust to by rocking from the heel instead of the toe.
Source -
Some users report the mini wah sounds like a high-pass filter, with volume drops and reduced bass, unlike the Classic's slight solo boost.
Source -
Some users find it beneficial to mount the mini wah on a riser to prevent accidental engagement of other pedals due to its small footprint.
Source -
The mini wah can feel fiddly for some, requiring precise foot placement to find the sweet spot, especially compared to full-sized models.
Source
Use cases and applications
-
Placing the mini wah at the start of the pedal chain helps preserve the character of fuzz effects, a preference for some users.
Source -
The true bypass feature on the mini model is a significant improvement over the GCB95, especially when running it before fuzz pedals.
Source -
Despite its compact size, the CBM95 works well on Nano+ boards, but consider foot placement on larger boards as it might not save much space.

Sturdy, versatile and good sounding
IMO it sounds just as the original one but this is half the size and weight... so it's definitely recommended if you want to fit a wah in your pedalboard. It also has a switch that lets you choose between 3 dfferent frequency ranges (Low, Mid, High of course...). I find this feature very useful and cool but consider that the switch is placed inside the pedal, so it's more about choosing the setting you prefer then stick with that unless you want to unscrew and open the pedal every time. I guess a lot of players used to classic wahs will find it too small and not so easy to control with your foot... I'll be honest about this: I bought it just to use it on a couple songs but I really suck at playing with ANY wah, so I can't really judge!

its a tiny crybaby
I tend to repfer voxes ins tock, affordable wahs, but this guy was so small and cute I decided to buy it.... it sounds like a big crybaby. I am not the best wah wah player but I can say I am no worse at wah wah on a small treadle versus a full size one. These are spit cheap and worth the investment if you're building a small pedalboard. I got this because it was my only pedal on the floor besides my midi controller and I wanted it to pack up into a guitar case. More mid-forward then the Hendrix wah, more conventional sounding then a morley but not as aggressive and mid-forward as the V847 I used to have. Totally passable. I'll bet every other crybaby is better, but not smaller or cheaper ;-)
I couldn't seem to get this thing to work for me due to the tiny size. After finding the voicing switch i got a sound I liked but I just never managed to wah effortlessly n this little fella. In the market for a full size wah that has that Cream sound.... I know, tall order.

My 1st wah pedal
This is my first ever wah pedal. It sounds great, it's super sturdy, takes an internal 9v battery and its tiny! Looking at the inside it seems to be wired in True Bypass. Consumption at 0.9 ma should give very long operation time on a 9V battery. I like the middle voicing, not too dark, not too bright, probably not messing with that any more. The footswitch was very crackly and rusty and hard to press, not giving much feedback on my foot, but nothing a little spray of good'old WD40 wouldn't fix right away. Included is an allen wrench to adjust drag. Loving it!

It fits everywhere!
Before, I used the full size version of CryBaby. But the place on the pedalboard is not limitless, and my back was not grateful. So I decided to take this baby, a mini-version of the usual CryBaby. I am absolutely satisfied. It is convenient to play while standing at concerts and rehearsals. The only thing that can cause discomfort is to play with it while sitting, because there is nowhere to put your heel. But you can get used to it.

Mini Wah
The time using this I was not feeling the size but once getting used to it was not bad. When you get the signal path working, it works better. I wasn't quite sure why the Wah sweep was weird. now it's ok

I use the middle mode.
