Classic wah

A true classic wah, exactly what you would expect. It is my go-to wah. The only con is that it would be nice if there were some customization options, but I'm very happy with the stock sound.

All the wah you need!

Sure there are a lot of wah pedals on the market with loads of extra features and tweaking possibilities, but if you have no need for crazy experimenting, this is really all the wah you need. I've tried a bunch of them and always return to my trusty 95. It has no knobs that can get loose over time, it's built like a tank and I can stomp on it all I want without worrying it'll bail on me.

Whether you play rock, funk, pop, metal.... it's a great addition to anyone's pedalboard for sure!

You can go wild with this thing, love the sound and response. Depends on your guitar and amp of course but I manage to get awesome feedback for harmonics just by slightly adjusting the pedal to higher frequencies... needs some practice but makes your guitar scream :D

Keep it simple !

Over the past decennia, I have toyed with some really fancy and expensive wah pedals, but somehow I still prefer the simple GCB95. There are no Q-knobs or any possibilities to tweak your tone, but somehow it sounds just *right*. It has that unmistakable 70's psychedelic vibe, and that's what I love about it. Sounds great on clean and overdriven sounds. There's a reason why this is the world's most sold guitar pedal. Sometime simple and basic is good enough, don't let anyone tell you otherwise :-)

Great

Amazing pedal but after a few months it started to have a scratchy sound every time I move the foot up/down.

Simple and effective

Cry Baby shines through overdrive with its dynamic filter sweep.

It’s really hard to get a “bad” sound out of the Dunlop Cry Baby GCB95 which is why it’s one of the most enduring classic pedals.

You can get subtle boosts with a proper overdrive setting or get as extreme and modern as you want.

It's the best option in this price range, if not the best option in general.

Dunlop Crybaby Wah

This is a classic. I love it, always works, will never let you down.

Weighs a ton though. I would love to see an LED on this pedal so you can see if it's engaged. I already had a very embarrassing moment during a live gig where I forgot to turn it off...

Very basic wah pedal, but sounds creamy

This pedal is very basic, which is not an issue, I knew what I was getting, I got what I paid for.

My first wah ever was the dimebag model which is twice as expensive, it had tons of features, most of them I did not use at all. I sold that one a long time ago cause I wanted to get a normal and more classic wah. So now I got this, I'm still getting used to it. But it sounds good overall.

Nothing to say about the quality, it's built like a tank.

Only comment I would like to add as feedback would be that I think the rubber raisers the pedal has at the bottom should have an easier way to remove them. It has been a struggle to attach this to my new pedalboard, basically the rubber feet are too tall and the Velcro doesn't stick properly to the pedalboard because of those rubber things. I was able to unscrew the screws, take off the rubber things and then upon trying to put the screws back in, basically it did not work without the rubbers, so in the end I just put the rubbers back and accepted my defeat.

Interesting note: when I took the 4 screws off, I took a sneak peek at the insides of the pedal. I would say more than half of the pedal is empty air, I guess it's a fairly simple effect, it's just big enough for our big feet.

Overall, creamy pedal.

Wah Classic

Everything about this pedal is just fine, except one thing. I like the sound and it's reliable, but it's not true bypass.

Standard wah

Its a great wah pedal for doing the basics.

Its difficult to get a inbetween of off and full wah. Its just the pedal and no futher knobs to adjust or change your sound.

Great as a starter wah pedal but would recommend a more advanced version for more experienced trying to find a new sound.

Overall i am happy with the outcome of the purchase.

Note: They do lube the gears inside the pedal which makes it really lose to adjust, dont worry about what is happening.

Pedal is great for getting all sorts of tones, retro and modern. It's a lot of fun to have subtle delay or tape echo effects on after it. Has a large sweep. Also good to have on in one position as a tone control, to help achieve Hendrix tones.

Best wah!

I searched for quite a few wah pedals before making my decision and joy of joys the cheapest one was the greatest one. Classic Wah tone from probablly the most aknowledged pedal of all time.

The classic Wah Wah

A good wah wah to start with in the Dunlop wah wah line. It gives a nice classic wah wah tone, but that's all you are going to get.

I do not use it at the moment, but if I would need a wah wah, I might go for a more expensive Dunlop wah wah that offers more features.

It arrived without any flaws, the rubbers on the bottom were easy to remove so I could put some velcro on it for my pedalboard.
