Dunlop 95Q Cry Baby Wah Pedal
The Dunlop 95Q Cry Baby Wah takes the legendary Cry Baby sound and adds modern features that make it one of the most versatile wah pedals in the range. With adjustable Q, up to +15dB of volume boost and convenient auto-return switching, the 95Q is designed for players who want classic wah tones with greater flexibility and effortless operation.
Unlike a traditional wah pedal, the 95Q automatically engages when you step on it and bypasses when you lift your foot. There's no toe switch to press, allowing for faster transitions and a more natural playing experience on stage.
At the heart of the pedal is the adjustable Q Control, allowing you to tailor the width and intensity of the wah sweep. Dial in a broad, smooth sweep for expressive blues and funk, or increase the Q for a sharper, more vocal sound that cuts through a busy mix.
The built-in Volume Boost provides up to +15dB of clean output, making it easy to lift solos above the band or compensate for signal loss without requiring an additional boost pedal.
Whether you're chasing vintage Hendrix-inspired tones, funky rhythm work, soaring rock leads or modern high-gain expression, the Dunlop 95Q offers the classic Cry Baby voice with the flexibility demanded by today's players.

What Does the 95Q Sound Like?
The Cry Baby 95Q delivers the unmistakable vocal-like wah effect that has shaped countless recordings across rock, blues, funk and metal. The adjustable Q allows you to move from a smooth, rounded sweep to a tighter, more aggressive wah that cuts through with clarity and definition.
