Dunlop Crybaby Classic GCB95 F 4-stars Reviews

It sounds as good as you are expecting it to

Look, you know you're viewing this Wah instead of the dozen other ones because you want to wahwah on a budget. Well you will be happy to know that it does indeed wah and Ive been using it for close to a year now and it's still wah'n away. It doesn't have any fancy knobs or settings to colour your tone, but you know that before you buy it so I can't fault it for that. The only downside is that I have it plugged into a powerbank and the lead keeps falling out of the pedal which is a problem with all of these Dunlop wahs (not sure about the other brands) so I will probably need to use a knife to cut away some of the plastic casing around the power hole which isn't ideal. That's my only fault with it.

Good wah, classic sound.

I'd been using the standard Dunlop wah for a few years, but when it finally started to show it's age I decided to replace it with this...

I don't tend to use wah for funk style playing so can't really comment on that... But with a bit of overdrive and a decent delay, this can give you some great sounds... I use it to gently shape my tone in lead parts, and for this it is excellent. When bypassed I haven't noticed any 'tone suck' and it feels good under your foot with an nice even 'sweep'.

My only comment would be that when it's on it seems to give you a slight gain increase, nothing huge, but will make my sound a little more overdriven and increases the volume slightly. This can be really useful when you need to suddenly be heard for a solo, but something to be aware of when you're engaging it for quieter parts.

I really like it and don't have any intention to replacing it, but if it did break, the gain increase issue might just be enough to make me look for something slightly different.
