Dunlop Crybaby 95Q

Good Wah Pedal

This is a good pedal and excellently built as you would come to expect from Dunlop Crybaby's. It performs well and compares to precious wah's from Dunlop.

A cool extra feature is the adjustable Q control which allows you to adjust the frequency sweep of the pedal.

It also has adjustable volume which can come in handy.

It will remain on my board for many years to come.

For me, the best wah

I used to have both crybabys and morleys. Well, this is the best of both worlds: switchless and crybaby's sounding. Moreover, the controls offers more possibility that classic crybaby.

Good Wah pedal

True to original, but with nice extra options.

Q control lets you adjust pedals band pass and extra volume boost controls let you add +15dB gain.

Original wah will always make a cut that you will perceive as volume decrease, but with volume boost you can actually not only compensate, but also add for your solo.

I like that it is immediately active when you step on it, and you don't have to click to set it off.

It is still quite large and heavy pedal, and will take a lot of space on pedal board.

The best.

So here's the deal. I have tried many wah's and nothing compares to this beast. I own Kemper Rack and I still have to keep this one on my pedalboard just in case I need it.

The sound is amazing. You can set from nice comfort phase to real Wah-Wah wankng.

Also the build quality is what amazes me. I don't use this only like a jazz musician. I stand on it with one foot while pressed and used (85kg), jump on it and swing with it and it keeps on working like nothing.

I can promise you. If I can't get break it, so can't you. Trust me.

Great auto on/off Wah

I like playing Steve Vai stuff on guitar and wanted this instead of a Morley, because of its greater treble and its auto on/off (just move the pedal to activate it). Its true bypass, so no noise when off and gives a wide range wah.

Amp on Clean = terrific wah, really nice funk, blues expressive.

Amp on Clean + overdrive pedal = terrific wah, really nice funk, blues expressive, but a little hiss

Amp on Dirty + overdrive pedal = good wah, can get muddy, but still clear enough to achieve full depth wah scoops, with some hiss

I mention hiss, but that's just at high gain, and not noticed when playing in a band volume.

Finally, without switch!

I used Dunlop wahs for a long time and always liked the sound very much. But I’ll struggled very often with switch to activated the wah. As you can imaging, it’s a horror when you press down the pedal in order to switch the wah on, e.g. for a solo, but than it didn’t work. I had that several times and it stressed me a lot.

But with the Crybaby 95Q this wouldn’t happened anymore. You press the pedal and it wahs, you take off your foot of the pedal and it don’t wahs anymore. Perfect!

I don’t use the other features of the 95Q, maybe I’ll figure out some days what’s about it and if it’s useful to me.

Oldie but goldie

Optical Wah pedals aren't everyone's cup of tea, however I've broken enough pedal boards in half to know that this is worth every penny. Not only is it easier on the bones, it's still great on the ear, Dunlop crybabies have the ability to really 'cry' and whine at the higher end of the EQ envelope, being able to adjust the Q is also a bonus for those of us who are a bit more perticular about where the curve occurs in a blistering solo. Additional volume and input signal button are also a massive bonus, this is a great sounding easy to use sturdy and reliable pedal. If I broke mine and it was beyond repair I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. Excellent pedal.
