Dunlop GCB95F Classic Cry Baby Wah Pedal
Few guitar pedals are as instantly recognisable as the Cry Baby Wah.
From Hendrix and Clapton through to Slash, Zakk Wylde and countless players in between, the Cry Baby has helped shape some of the most iconic guitar sounds ever recorded. Whether you're adding expression to lead playing, creating vocal-like phrasing, or bringing funk rhythms to life, the Cry Baby remains one of the most important effects pedals in guitar history.
The Dunlop GCB95F Classic Cry Baby combines that familiar wah sweep with a vintage-voiced Fasel® Inductor and true bypass switching, delivering the expressive response that players have relied on for decades.
The Sound of Classic Wah
A great wah pedal becomes an extension of your playing.
The GCB95F delivers the rich, vocal-like sweep that made the Cry Baby famous, allowing you to shape your tone in real time with your foot. From subtle tonal shifts through to dramatic lead tones, it adds movement, expression and personality that simply can't be achieved with static EQ controls.
Whether you're playing blues, classic rock, hard rock, funk, fusion or modern guitar styles, a quality wah pedal can completely transform the way you approach phrasing.
Vintage Fasel-Inductor Tone
One of the standout features of the GCB95F is the inclusion of a Fasel® Inductor.
Widely associated with many of the most sought-after vintage wah sounds, the Fasel circuit helps deliver a smooth, musical sweep with plenty of character and harmonic detail.
The result is a wah sound that feels expressive and responsive without becoming harsh or overly aggressive.
Built for Stage and Studio
Like all Cry Baby pedals, the GCB95F is built to handle years of use.
The rugged metal housing is designed for life on stage, while true bypass switching helps preserve your core guitar tone when the effect is disengaged.
It's a pedal that can comfortably live on a pedalboard for decades.
Why Players Still Use Wah Pedals
While guitar technology continues to evolve, the wah pedal remains one of the most expressive effects available.
Players use wah pedals for:
- Classic rock lead tones
- Blues guitar phrasing
- Funk rhythm guitar
- Expressive solos
- Dynamic tonal shaping
- Cutting through a live band mix
It's one of the few effects that directly responds to the movement and feel of the player.

THE LONG STORY
The Cry Baby Classic Wah is a modern take on a classic sound. Dunlop’s engineers re-tuned the Cry Baby Standard Wah circuit to have a lower frequency center and a more subtle effect while adding the legendary Fasel® Inductor to create the gorgeous tone, voice, and sweep of early Cry Baby pedals. For tonal purists, the Cry Baby Classic Wah also features true bypass switching.
