Dunlop Crybaby GCB95 Reviews

Straight forward wahwah.

I bought this pedal as my first wah wah.

This is a very basic pedal without any extra knobs.

I play mostly metal and this pedal does a fairly good job.

I would still prefer something else (like Zakk wylde Wah or Dime's signature wah) as it doesn't really satisfy my needs. But for rock, blues and everything else I think it will do very well.

The build quality is good, not much to say.

Overall it's good pedal, straight forward wah.

It's very basic and not very specific. So as a first wah pedal it does a great job.

Nice

The best price for the wah. nice pedal.

I needed a bread and butter wah-wah and this one seemed like a good choice.

The true bypass keeps the noise down and there's very little hiss when engaged.

It's built like a tank so i'm expecting a good lifespan from this pedal.

Worth a punt!

A classical "wah" Pedal

The pedal origininally used by so many artists of the 60's, like Hendrix himself.

Its a very simple pedal, with a just a push to activate and a push to by pass.

The frequency range is not big, but it does most of the job.

For its price, its pretty much the best you can get!

Great tone, great durability

GCB95 is exactly what you would expect. Very good tone in a small and durable box. After 4 years of almost everyday use it does not show any signs of wear.

I mostly played it using Stratocaster, Telecaster and Les Paul Guitars through a 74' Fender Twin Reverb and a Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9. It has shown a nice frequency spectre and the right amount of aggresiveness for rock music as well as gentleness for softer songs.

It had only one downside: it came with a non-working power socket, which had to be replaced.

All in all: good buy, if you like a classic wah sound, but would not suffice if you want versatility, since it does not provide any EQ or other controls.

Solid, great sound

I've moved away from using a Spider IV with the wah on the FBV board to a Marshall TSL so I'm building a separate pedal board.

I've used plenty of mates wah pedals but it's nice to use this classic with my own rig.

Sounds great. Feels like the travel on the pedal is a bit shorter than I'm used to but the sound makes up for it in spades and thats just taste. Im sure I'll get used to it quickly.

Classic Wah tone in an easy to use package

The classic Wah sound in a simple, non frills, easy to use package. Works great for thick distorted solos and choppy bright 70s disco cleans. Would be nice to have an account included power supply but other than that it's a great Wah pedal for beginners and experienced users alike

The legend

What more needs to be said? the Famous cry baby wah from Dunlop! used to great effect by next to every rock/metal band on the planet can you get a more versatile wah peddle? I doubt it! buy it and buy it now!

Vintage Wah!

The definition it self of Wah. It might lack a bit of presence when is turned on.

Quality pedal and essential to any pedal board

Great pedal, extremely sturdy. I've had mine for about three years now and it still hasn't given up or added any noise to my rig. The sound is great especially in combination with distortion and or delay and or reverb.

Not bad

I find with this it very quickly goes from nothing to completely open; very small foot movements are needed to acheive slow wah effects.

Im not too experienced with wahs so figured the Cry Baby was a safe bet.

Also make sure you use it with a power supply as it drains batteries in a short space of time, you do lose some of the natural guitar tone having this in the chain too.

Overall not bad.

Legendary pedal!

You know the story about it and the sound which comes out from this lil legendary pedal, a must have for every guitar player!

A great wah, but not for me

Let me be clear: It's a great pedal. Sturdy, kind of heavy... You can feel it won't break easily. And it sounds great (as everybody can see in the hundreds of videos there is online about it).

However, I ended up selling it, because there was a difference in volume between the heel and toe position and it bothered me a lot. It was considerably louder in the toe (treble) position. I don't know if it was just me, or if it was an issue with mine specifically. Anyway, I'll try the Vox to see if I'll like it.

I maintain a good rating because, again, it's a great pedal. It just wasn't for me, I guess.

The original

It is probalbt best to use the origninal wah wah if you really want the wah to be heard live. This is a legendary pedal that every guitarist should have.

Very durable and good budget wah-wah.

It's a quality product, made from a durable metal and easy to use.

- The button isn't switching as good as i would want it to.

- You cant control the level of the effect.

The definitive wah pedal

Pretty much standard, you know what you're getting here. Solidly built, good connections and a quality latch. A minor niggle is some thinning of sound when in operation, so if you are very picky then audition one beforehand if you can.

No self respecting pedal board should be without one!

Perfect Wah Wah pedal

The pedal body is strong, effect is strong and clear. This is classic wah wah effect. I use it for playing rock solo parts, together using very strong overdrive effect. Everything sounds clear and loud. I love it, because sound of my guitar easily goes through the final mix. I have this pedal almost 3 years. Everything is ok.

Great wah wah pedal

It's a great wah wah pedal. I love the sound, and the sensitivity of this pedal. I use this pedal live and in rehearsals. This pedal is very resistant. Great for playing great solos of heavy metal, but also for other styles of music. I have bands of various styles of music, and use this pedal in all these bands.

Wonderful

Embarrasses the lame wah wah on my multi effects pedal. And I used to think that was OK.

For:

Excellent weighty build quality

Big enough to use easily with my size 11s

Smooth noiseless action

Classic 60's Wah tones and modulation

I'm in love

Against:

Nothing.

whaw.

If you are looking for the classic, basic whawha-sound for a little price, you could become happy with this pedal.

It's built very reliable and has this well known sound. I like its range, but it's nothing special scooped or anything, just minimalistic and basic.

But watch out: If you want to mount it on a even pedalboard, you could get problems since it has four little stands on the bottom ! Also, I suggest to use a power supply, since you have to open the whole pedal with a screwdriver to change batteries.
