Ease of Use: The Dunlop Crybaby is the best wah pedal available. It's very simple to use, and require no tweaking or changing. The tone you can produce with it stunning, and the range it presents its very wide. With ease even a beginner can begin to imitate such classic sounds as Jimi Hendrix with the crybaby. The 9V battery that is required is drained very fast, but you can buy the adapter for just a little more. // 10

Sound: The sound quality is amazing. For the price of this pedal, you cant go wrong. The range is astounding, and the pitches this wah puts out is awesome. The versatility of the pedal is boundless, and I can almost gaurantee that youll be able to duplicate almost any of your favorite guitarist's wah! Another interesting bit about the way I use my wah, I sometimes barely have it pushed down, but it gives me an awesome hollow, crunch sound that makes for awesome intros. Similarly, when fully depressed, if you tweak your amp settings, it produces an awesome sound for lead guitar. // 10

Reliability & Durability: This takes a beating. Sinces it's die-cast steel layered on top with rubber, it won't break easily. I've gigged with it plenty of times, and its never given me trouble, even after dropping it several times! The only downside is the power needed: The Crybaby sucks power. If you are gigging with it, make sure you bring extra batteries, otherwise your going to be left without sound after hardly any use. // 10

Impression: Overall, I could not be happier with my Crybaby. The sound, tones, pitch, and range it puts out top even the highest end models. When I was originally shopping around, I had decided to either buy this or the Vox Multi-Wah pedal (with something like 6 settings). After playing both, the Crybaby clearly outdid the Vox! If my Crybaby was damaged, lost, or stolen, I would buy a new one the same day. Even though I play through fairly mediocre gear, the wah makes my rig sound like a million dollars! This pedal works for practically any style of music, except acoustic. But again, if you are looking for a wah pedal to use with acoustic, I'd suggest you change your mind. I simply love this. // 10

Ease of Use: This has got to be one of the easiest wah pedals to use, its just so simple. One line in, one line out a power addapter outlet and a battery case. What could possibly be hard to figure out, it even says on the pedal which side is for which. As for the pedal I got good with the it within half an hour, fairly straight-foward toe down trebble, heel down bass(ier). // 10

Sound: I'm using myn with a upgraded Squire Stratocaster (new bridge, new neck and "hot noiseless" pickups), a Beringher Vintage Tube Overdrive and a Marshall MG15CDR, it can be slightly noisy with toe down and a lot of distortion but no hassels, once you start playing you cant hear feedback anyway and its fun to mess around with while your not playing. It is a very true wah sound that I get out of this, much like one of Slash or Hammett. Also if your good enough one like Vai's but its a bit tricky 'cause your amp setting have to be adjusted and the toe really can't be above half way at anytime and you gotta make it able to change in that small space. // 10

Reliability & Durability: It's as concrete wall, you can jump on it and theres no worries, you can kick it round and it wont change the sound. Only one floor is that sometimes the switch is a bit hard to get but no worries if your standing up with a bit of wieght on it. Well I only really "gig" (I play festive songs, classic sing-alongs and sometimes rip a solo or two out just to show off: D) infront of groups of friends and family friends (usually 20-30 people) so if it stuffed up I really wouldnt care although I'm sure it wouldnt and if I was actaully playing gigs I'm sure it would be fine. // 9

Impression: I play basically everything, alternative, indie, rock, hard rock, metal, punk, country rock and soft rock, although I only use it in alt, rock, metal, and sometimes in hard rock. It suits this sound perfectly. I've been playing for about a year and a half, I wish I had've asked "can I try it with a better guitar?" (I got a Squire Bullet Strat). If it were lost or stolen I would either buy it again or buy a 95Q. I compared it with a Jimi Hendrix Wah Wah which I didnt think suited my tone and cost more and I tested it against a Vox Wah which came close but didnt quite "float me boat." Overall it is a fantasic pedal and a recomend it to any 1st time "wah" buyer with a fair bit of experience on guitar. Also its just so fun, the day I bought it I left the shops at 3:30pm got home at 4, plugged it in and I didn't stop playing (apart from to ring my girlfriend for about an hour at 8 and dinner at 9) 'till 3am. // 10

Ease of Use: When I first opened the box I didn't see the manual right away, I don't think I read it, but this pedal is the best thing I ever spent money on. even though it has only one setting it still gives that Hendrix feel to it. the pedal has smooth action when rocking back and forth, has a rugged body (I dropped it the first night I brought it home) the only thing that is missing is an adapter. // 9

Sound: I use this with a custom sort of frankenstein guitar that I built over the years, I put a humbucker in place of the single coil by the bridge. I don't know what model it is because I took parts from broken guitars and stuff. I play this through a Crate amp with a Grunge pedal connected first then the Crybaby next. The sound that I got was unheard of it made my cheap guitar sound like it was on fire for leads, I played Eruption through this setup and got that brown sound during the tapping parts. The stuff I play (mainly blues/rock/metal) goes well with this you can really feel the action as you play when using the pedal. Although this is the best thing that happened to guitarists, some effects cancel the sound of the pedal, it sounds amazing clean, but when I put my Grunge pedal through it it sort of muffled the effect, I had to get an equalizer to make it sound good with distortion. // 9

Reliability & Durability: This pedal rocks hard, it is good for gigs and has the strength to with stand most wah pedals, Dunlop makes great things and by far the is the best thing that has come out in the this. When I am doing a gig I rely on this the most, up here in Canada people were amazed by the sound I got out of it. This is pretty cool, eh? // 10

Impression: The style of music I play is based on the blues scale and stuff, I mostly write songs and found out a new style, I think it sounds like metal mixed with blues mixed with classic rock mixed speed metal, I don't want to over do it so I left some things out but this is pedal is amazing with the style I play. I have been playing for over five years and learned that I caught on more quickly than most of my uncles that have been playing 20 years or so. If this were stolen I would search everyhome for it until I get it back and beat up the little punks that stole it. I think I will reach fame and fortune with this pedal, although I use it mainly for leads, this has a unique sound when playing rhythm. All I wish I had right now is a Krank amp and a Dime ML signature guitar. // 10

Ease of Use: It is a wah just put a battery in plug it to your amp and guitar and rock it. It did come with a manual and an MXR catalogue. // 9

Sound: The amp I am using at the moment is a Laney GH50L and 4x12 cabinet. The guitars that I primarily am playing with it are an Epiphone SG Custom (tuned to D) and a Gibson Tony Iommi SG (tuned to C#). It is not noisy at all but the sound sucks. The wah is so weak when you add heavy distortion to the sound. However clean sounds it handles pretty well but because I play Black Sabbath there is gonna be alot of distortion there and this wah can't really handle it. That's why I am going to get a Parachute Wah. It is a remake of the old Tychobrahe Parapedal Wah, it sounds good with lots of distortion behind it. // 5

Reliability & Durability: I could depend on it if I had to. It is a very sturdy pedal, as all Dunlop pedals are. I would not use it at a gig though. // 8

Impression: This is not really what I am looking for in a wah pedal. It is a good pedal but just not what I want it for. I have been playing for 6 years now and I have been looking for a good wah tone for ages. I also own a Vox Wah and a Zakk Wylde Wah. The only way to get the wah that I want is to get a Parachute Wah. If it were lost or stolen I wouldn't get it again. // 5

Ease of Use: It is so simple to use just like all the other Cry Baby's. Straight out of the box. Plug in the jacks (very easy as it is written on each side of the pedal). There is a manual with it. Basically it just tells you where to put the jacks and the rocking motion needed operate it. There is also a catalogue showing you the different versions of the cry baby e.g. Slash. // 10

Sound: I'm using it with a Epiphone SG Special and a 15 watt cougar practise amp. Sometimes the effect is weak but normally if you just pluck the strings a bit harder sounds perfect on whack up the sound on your guitar. I normally tend to play a lot of rage against the Machine so Tom Morello. The first song that made me buy this pedal was the cover of Renegades Of Funk. After a bit of fiddling with the amp settings and with tuning sounded fine. I have not yet used it with any separate effect pedals. // 9

Reliability & Durability: Yes I can depend on it. The only thing you really need to remember is a spare battery. Or buy one of the AC adapters. I don't think I would need to buy a back up but maybe after a couple of years. But it depends on how heavily used the pedal is. If you use it in 2 songs with a 10 song track list it's not really used. But if 9 of the 10 songs you played used it then it would be a good idea to buy a backup. The Pedal is very well made. Apart from one bit, which is the on the underside. There is a thin sheet of metal which is used to protect the electronics. I'm thinking of replacing it with something a bit stronger. // 8

Impression: I play a bit of rock, metal and funk. So the pedal really funks it up and sounds good playing in dropped d. I've been playing for about 4 year but seriously playing for 2 years. When I started I started on an acoustic guitar which I don't regret I just wish I had got an electric guitar a bit sooner. If there is one question I wish I had asked does it come with a battery. If it was lost/stolen I would probably buy it again if I didn't get this model then I would get a DigiTech pedal. I didn't look at any different models. I think it would have been better if it had a power supply with it. // 10

Ease of Use: This pedal is a classic that has not been upgraded but still sounds great. It is easy to a great sound out of. It's simple, just rock it back and forth with your feet. When you rock the Crybaby foreword it adds treble and when you rock it backwards it adds bass. There is no need for a manual. You can't change the sound with knobs since there arn't any, but the pedal sounds different when you move it fast and when you movie it slow. // 10

Sound: I'm using this with my Epiphone G-310 and you would think that a wah pedal wouldn't go great with one, but it does. This pedal is good for any genre of music. You can get anything from Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix to Kurk Hammet and Dimebag. You might want to be careful when using this pedal with a lot of distortion. Distoriton kills the sound. // 9

Reliability & Durability: Dunlop makes strong, long lasting pedals. You could throw this thing across the room 50 times and it still wouldn't break. It's also lasted 11 months with me and my freinds so that should tell you that this pedal is really strong and durable. I can always rely on this pedal. No backups needed at a gig or at home. // 10

Impression: I play rock and blues. A wah pedal is a classic sound for most of the '60s blues players and 70s rock guitarist. This should tell that tis pedal is great for what I play. The Crybaby adds expression and new veiws to your playing. Dunlop has made many Crybabys throughout the years but this one is the best I've played, no questions asked. If it where stolen I'd buy a new one ASAP. // 10

Ease of Use: Very easy to use. Push toe down until you hear a "click" and wah is engaged. Rock pedal to control the range and sweep. Click again to turn off. There's no hassle at all getting a good sound out of this pedal, especially once you become more skilled at controling the wah sound. // 10

Sound: My setup is guitar to Cry Baby, to a synth, to a distortion pedal and then into my amp. This pedal will not color your guitars tone, as some other wahs do, because it has true bypass. When it's on, however, it will change it a little. There's no noise except for a little "click" when it's engaged, and the Effect is strong. Not the Strongest I've ever heard (I think that was a Morley wah). But still great. // 9

Reliability & Durability: After maybe 5 months, I noticed the switch wasn't engaging. I took it back, and the store's solution was to Stick some Velcro pads up inside the pedal part, to make it easier to hit the switch. It still works, but it doesn't turn on as easily as it once did. It requires a little "snap" of your foot, but besides that, It's built like a tank. I've dropped it so many times, and nothing, not even a scratch! Solid metal. The only thing flimsy is the battery door, but that's nothing a little Duct tape can't fix. // 8

Impression: If someone stole this from my house, I'd be really freakin' pissed off, hunt them down, make them give it back, then beat them up for taking it in the first place. The control and quality of this pedal is amazing, making it one of my favorate peices of gear that I own. The only thing I dislike is those Velcro pads. I think it's a fixable problem, but the store people are just lazy, they give me fixes like that alot. All in all, a great buy. // 9

Ease of Use: When I plugged this wah in and turned it on, I strummed all the strings and instantly got the wah sound I'd grown to know and love. It really is extremely easy to get a good sound out of this pedal, with minimal effort. There isnt a manual that came with it as such. It comes witha couple of leaflet type things that tell you how to use it and give you a suggested set up in the vein of Jimi Hendrix. This wasn't a bad idea though, because it really is extremely simple to get a good sound and to use this pedal. Plug in, rock forward, rock out. Simple. // 10

Sound: I am using a Cruiser by Crafter RG600, Stagg GA-15 amp, a DigiTech Bad Monkey and a Denio CH40 Chorus pedal. It isnt noisy. It adds more to your solos, giving that instantly recognizable sound. The effect always sounds great, although it is best used (in my opinion) in the mid and treble positions of the treadle (I.e halfway forward and all the way forward) as when the treadle is rocked right back, the bass response seems kind of pointless and doesnt't add much as it is so hard to hear. I normally use it at the front of my effects chain, directly after my guitar as I prefer it there, although I do occasionally put it after my Bad Monkey and that boosts the wah sound and makes it sound grittier. Literally, within seconds of turning the wah on, I'd got the sound from the begining of Voodoo Chile and the begining of Mr Brownstone. Then I mucked around with it on Nirvana songs and it did sound good. The Wah sound is consistent and only really weak on the Bass strings. It sounds kind of flat when used on the bass strings. // 9

Reliability & Durability: I'm fairly sure I could rely on it. it's battery hasn't run out yet. The thing is built like a brick sh*thouse, it's really strong. it's made of metal and doesn't slide around at all when I'm using it. It is however extremely heavy, but then it's made to stay put on stage etc so I guess it's got to be. I would definitely gig with this with no backup, because I don't think it's gonna fail on me. I would take a spare battery simply as a precaution though. // 9

Impression: I play blues, Grunge and classic rock and I believe that this is a very good match to these styles. Admittedly it's not often used in Grunge music, but then I'm all for making a song your own, so I just add it in anyway. Obviously for blues and classic rock it's a perfect match. I've been playing for about two and a half years now. I own a DigiTech Bad Monkey and Denio CH40 Chorus pedal and they compliment each other perfectly. I'm not really an effects junkie, I just have what I feel is necessary. If this was stolen or lost I would get another one no question. But I would be tempted to hunt the person Who took my first one and beat them over the head with it. This would cause the victim considerable damage, but I doubt anything would happen to the pedal! I love the simplicity of this pedal. It really is a simple Plug and Play exercise. I also love how easy it is to get that classic sound. I don't hate anything about the pedal as such, but I do have a minor gripe. It's too addictive! Once you get it all you wanna do is use it on every song you play. So there is some skill involved on being able to judge whether the song you are playing could benefit from some wah. I didn't compare it with other products, I kne wi wanted this one. I chose it because it is well built, reviews across the internet recommend it and it was the cheapest on there. I think it's fine, although maybe bass response could be sorted out, although this isnt absolutely necessary. // 9

Ease of Use: Let's face it, it's a wah pedal. You'd have to be pretty simple not to understand that if you press the pedal down, you create a vocal sweep, making your guitar 'wah'. Within minutes, I was incorporating the 'wah' effect into my guitar riffs and solos. I didn't seem to get any sort of manual, though I suppose that's what happens when you buy from ebay. My only issue is how much of a stamp it is to turn the 'wah' effect off. This could not be operated sitting down, unless you have thighs of steel. // 8

Sound: I play a Fender Telecaster through the wah, and into a Marshall MG100HDFX with an MG412 cab. It's a quiet pedal, not really adding any particularly recognisable noise to that already caused. The effects have that hard hitting sweeping 'wah' sound present on so many classic songs, such as 'Brave Tales of Ulysses' by Cream, 'Voodoo Child' by Jimi Hendrix, and almost every solo Slash has ever played. With this pedal, and some guitar playing ability, it is easy to figure out exactly what you have to do to get the classic sounds of guitar legends. When I play with a chorus effect, it does sound as if tone suffers, but not to any major extent. And with a good distortion pedal, you can make an awesome sound. // 9

Reliability & Durability: This pedal is as durable as anything. As long as you have enough power in your 9v battery, this pedal will last a lifetime. When the bomb gets dropped, only these and cockroaches will be left. No backup would be needed for gigs as long as you keep a spare battery just incase. // 10

Impression: I play mostly blue and classic rock, and this pedal allows me to explore the genres like never before. I've been playing for the best part of three years, and this was my first, and probably only wah pedal I shall ever buy. There is nothing to ask about this pedal, it does what it's meant to do. If it were stolen, I would probably give the Bad Monkey a test run, just to see how well it performs, as apparently it plays better under an arsenal of effects, but I have a feeling I'll always return to the mighty Dunlop. I love it. period. It has one feature, and it does it brilliantly, with a good vocal sweep range. I chose this one over the ever increasing competition because it's a classic everyone has to own at some point in their lives. If anything, I wish it came with extra cables and a modding guide, just in case. But that's me being experimentive. // 9

Ease of Use: This pedal couldn't be any easier to use, it has no knobs or controls and even tells you which end to plug into the amp and which to plug into your guitar. If I had never played guitar before I would still be able to operate it. The manual is very clear but the pedal is so simple it isn't really needed. // 10

Sound: I use mostly a telecaster with this pedal and I play through a Marshall AVT50X. On a clean channel the pedal oozez quality sounds for a variety of genres however, overdriven, and with the gain turned up high it tends to lag a bit and frankly sounds horrible but I believe that this could be partly due to my amp. A Hendrix sound is easily accomplished as is a Guns N' Roses tone but other tones are a bit tricky with the lack of performance on strong gain. // 7

Reliability & Durability: The battery life of the 9V battery is quite substantial, but very heavy use will drain it quicker than you think. This thing is like a housebrick, solid and basic, in otherwords, foolproof. I've yet to even hear of one of these breaking. I would definately use it without a backup at a gig. // 9

Impression: This pedal is perfect for light rock as it excells at low gain sounds but it handles most sounds okay, but just okay. Personally I think it is much better that say, the equivalent Vox wah and for value for money it beats most pedals. If it were stolen I would definately buy this pedal again. // 8

Ease of Use: This is a very straight-forward wah pedal. Just plug it in and go. I had never used a wah wah before and was unsure of how difficult it would be to get a feel for it. Within a few minutes of hooking the CryBaby up, I was playing my favorite Hendrix licks. I was surprised at how natural and smooth the motion of the pedal was. Very fluid. There isn't really a manual for it, but there is a booklet with a few setup suggestions... and operation is easy enough to figure out on your own; I wouldn't have really cared if there was nothing at all in the box besides the pedal itself. Being the least expensive CryBaby that Dunlop makes, I feel that the sound lacks some depth. The actual "wah" effect sounds great, but some of the guitar's deeper tones get lost in the mix. I guess I would have liked for the pedal to have a wider tonal range, instead of such a narrow one that makes it sound a bit thin. Nonetheless, I still love the sound, but it's just not perfect. // 8

Sound: I use a Dean Vendetta and an Ephiphone G400 through my 15watt Crate practice amp. I also have a DigiTech Weapon pedal that is placed before the wah pedal in my setup. When turned on, the pedal does give off some static fuzz, which can either be pleasing or annoying, depending on what you like. It handles heavy distortion well, although it sounds best with a hot-roddish bluesy Overdrive. I can't exactly get that Voodoo Child fatness out of it, although when I use my neck pickup I can get very close to a Burning of the Midnight Lamp tone. I don't have many other effect pedals, so I can't really say how it would handle them. I'd imaging that it would sound great with a nice fuzz distortion, though. // 9

Reliability & Durability: This thing is a brick. It's heavy, completely metal, and very solid. I definitely believe that it will last quite a while. The mechanisms inside look sturdy and supported, I'm not worried about breaking it at all. I would use it at a gig without a backup. // 10

Impression: I play a lot of psychedelic rock and blues, and this pedal gives me some interesting sounds to add to my music. I haven't been playing all that long (about a year), so this is my first wah pedal. I knew exactly what I was paying for when I bought it, and wasn't let down at all. If it was stolen or I lost it, I would beg someone to buy me a new one, seeing as I'm broke. I fell in love with it as soon as I started playing around with it. It feels so natural, and sweet improvisations come easily with it. I chose this pedal over a Vox pedal simply because of Dunlop's reputation, and the price. Again, my only complaint is the fact that it makes your guitar sound a bit thin, but other than that it's a winner. I absolutely would recommend this to someone as their first wah pedal. // 10

Ease of Use: I have had this pedal for 6 months now, and I will share everything I have learnt about it. Firstly, you are going to need to buy the 9V power adaptor for this pedal (really should come with it in my opinion), because if you plan to use battereries, well, buy a lot of them. Right, this is an amazing quality pedal with an excellent tonal range if you use it correctly. This is quite important to remember, as it can sound pretty naff in the wrong rig. If you have got it running properly though you will have hours of fun perfecting this pedal as it has a great sound. You press it toe end down to turn it on/off (a very good quality button). It has two jack holes, which are labelled on the non-slip rubber foot pad. It has a 9V-DC input and four non-slip rubber feet. Easy enough to use without the need for a manual, which is why I'm guessing the don't supply one. The only problem you may have is the power cable coming out. A bit of gaffa tape during a gig will keep you safe though. // 10

Sound: What you get out of this pedal depends a lot upon your rig and setup. In big effects loops, the pedal loses quite a lot of it's tonal range unless you place it near the end. I find that this pedal does lose some tonal range under high gain settings if you are getting this gain from a distortion/overdrive pedal, but that's if you like cranking the gain up full (so if you do, you may want to consider a different wah). If you are just plugging this wah into an amp however, gain does not affect the tonal range. On slighly lower gain settings and clean this wah pedal is simply stunning. I use this pedal on quite low end equipment and it makes it sound a hell of a lot better. You can be sure I will always click it on for a solo, just to sound better. When bypassed this pedal is silent, unfortunately the same cannot be said when it is on. The more treble you apply the more hiss you apply also (only apparent when not playing fortunatley). However keeping it held back on bass does shut it up. If you need to sound like some of your favorite wah-ing guitarists, this pedal will do it for you. This pedal really seems to scream Jimi Hendrix. Also, you can get some really cool/stupid/annoying sounds out of it if you put an EQ right next to it (like sucking all the mids out for example). // 9

Reliability & Durability: This thing is sturdy as hell. I'm positive this thing could cause brain damage without taking a scratch. It could be dropped, or even thrown at a concrete floor without denting (Mine hasn't taken a scratch after six months). I have gigged this thing a few times and it hasn't failed me at all. Really no need for a backup. // 10

Impression: Overall this is a Class A wah pedal. It is my favorite pedal and I would not feel complete without it. I play a lot of Guns N' Roses and if I had a Gibson LP and a Marshall stack to go with this I could replace Slash. If you are looking for a simple wah pedal that sounds amazing and gets the job done, this is the one for you. All I can think of that would make this pedal better is if it had some thing to clip the power supply in, and an indicator light to tell you that it's on (even though it's not difficult at all to follow the Status of it, this would just make it look a bit more funky. If this pedal was stolen I would do everything in my power to hunt it down and brick the thief in the head with it; and because of how sturdy it is, I would then go home and have a re-union jam with it. Or if not I would definately buy it again, or maybe buy one of the other Cry Baby models that have adjustable features since I am aquainted with this pedal. // 9

Ease of Use: This is the simplest wah pedal you can use. Press it all the way down to turn it off or on, stick a 9V battery or adaptor in it, and start rockin. It also comes with 2 Books advertising MXR pedals and several other Dunlop Crybabys, which is interesting. However, in my opinion it's just a little too easy. A lot of pedals these days you can actually tweak them, which I think is a cool feature that is missed in this, but hey, it is the original, so what do you expect? // 8

Sound: For a pedal that only costs $60, it's got pretty decent sound, however there are definitely far better wah pedals out there. For one, it's got a slight buzz when you push the wah forward, on the clean channel, but while Overdrive or distortion is enabled, it reeeally buzzes. As for the sound of the effect itself, it's okay at best. Sounds fine when on the clean channel. It's got a good deal of potential when playing clean. On the other hand, playing with Overdrive or distortion just sounds like crap. The sweep is already pretty thin even when playing clean but it is nearly gone when playing dirty. Not only that, but it will make your tone go straight to hell. There is also no mids to this pedal at all. It's either Treble or Bass. In the middle is pretty much neutral. Like I said above, you also can't tweak anything on this, unless you go get a mod for it. This wah comes as it is. It is a fun pedal to mess around with as long as you're playing clean. Playing with distortion is nothing but a hassle with this thing though. I've seen people say wah pedals aren't designed for distortion, yet Dunlop claims that distortion makes the experience that much better. You decide. // 5

Reliability & Durability: This is pretty durable, though it isn't true bypass, I imagine it's pretty hard to actually beat this thing up. With a pedal covering obviously. Though, this is unlike anything I've seen in my career, because the weight of it will indeed show you. About the bypass feature, if the batteries die on you, your sound doesn't go through it. It would have to be switched off, which is fine for some, but for others it's not. // 8

Impression: I've only tested this pedal on two amps, and on one guitar, but it responds pretty similar as far as I know. The guitar is a Schecter Omen 6 and the amps are a Crate GTX212, and a B-52 AT-212. This is my first wah pedal, but I have heard much better than this before. If you have your heart set on getting this, for the money, by all means go for it. Otherwise, save your money. // 7

Ease of Use: This pedal is so easy to use. To turn it on/off, you step down on the pedal for it to click. The pedal has a wide range on it, which I love. I'd reccommend you use an 9v Adaptor or a power bank because the batteries drain very fast. No problems here. The only bad thing is you have to push down quite hard to get it on, and sometimes this can be bad if your relaxed then want to turn it on, and end up missing when you should have turned it on. // 10

Sound: Simply amazing. The sound of this pedal is unbeatable, and is perfect for me. This is such a versatile pedal for it's price, and it has such an amazing quality sound. The distortion can get muddy a bit if you have lots, but most of the time, it'll be fine. I haven't been able to keep off this pedal since getting it, and so will you. When you play with a clean sound, you can get a funky wah out of your sound (think people like John Frusciante). // 10

Reliability & Durability: Not problems here, it's a very reliable pedal. The only thing is, don't play it live with an battery, it drains fast. But other than that, there is no problems with it. If you play live with it, I'd reccommend you have it as the first pedal your guitar plugs into otherwise it may get a bit muddy when you play with distortion. // 10

Impression: This pedal fits me perfectly. I play a range of styles from blues to hard rock to metal, and the pedal works for them all. When you're soloing with this thing, you'll never want to let your foot off it. If somebody stole this from me, I'd rip the heart every organ except the heart out of the person so he can cry like a baby, then die watching me play with it. Definately a must buy for any lead guitar player. // 10

Purchased from: Soundhouse

Ease of Use: Operated using a simple rock back and forth motion throughout the playing, which I find myself rocking to the rhythm of the song usually. I found myself using the wah with confidence within half an hour, though I thought I broke it before I realised you have to press your foot foward on the pedal hard until it clicks, in order to turn it on and off. Later I realised that this and all the other setup info was on a startup guide that comes with the pedal. // 9

Sound: I use a Vintage V100 guitar through a Danelectro Fab Distortion pedal, through my Dunlop GCB-95 Crybaby and an Alesis Spitfire 15 amp, which isn't that great. The sound created through my Crybaby is legendary, I can sound like many different artists, at the moment Hendrix and Slash, I need to experiment more. The pedal can be used to create more funky or metally sounds, depending on the amount of distortion added to the sound, and whether you connect your guitar through the Crybaby or the distortion first. The sound can also be changed depending on how quickly the pedal is rocked and whether treble (foward) or bass (backward) are used more or less. Awesome sound. // 10

Reliability & Durability: I only got the pedal today, but I can already tell how sturdy it is, because it's rock hard and chunky like a brick. It weighs a ton as well, and is bigger than I imagined. As for the life of the actual wah sound quality, the box claims it will give years of sound, but I can't really give my own opinion on this. I think I trust the Crybaby's popularity. // 9

Impression: I play metal and classic rock, and a bit of bluesy stuff. The wah wah works fine with my style. I love the ease of use and the fantastic sound produced, I could spend a long time just playing around with the different effects and cool sounds you can make with this pedal, along with different levels of tone and distiortion settings on the distortion pedal. If I lost or broke this, or got it stolen or anything, I'd probably go without it for a while to build up my hunger for it, then buy one off eBay for a cheap price. I am very satisfied with this product, it has lived up to my expectations and convinced me that manual wah is better than auto wah, which I've tried before. // 10

Ease of Use: This is the god of all wah pedals and it's so easy to use you plug it and you're ready to go. The pedal I got it for a good deal at Guitar Center and it was brand new. The wah pedal is a little hard to rock it but after 5 minutes it's so easy to use. Mine came with a manual and I wonder if anyone even had time to read those because the pedal shows where to put the cable for input and the cable for the output. // 10

Sound: I just a new Marshall MG100DFX and it sounds awesome with this pedal, especially when I use on a FX Loop. This pedal gives me that Tom Morello type wah and it's all good. It does get a little noisy when it's toe down but that toe down position gives me the sound to the verse of Bulls On Parade by Rage Against The Machines. // 10

Reliability & Durability: It's a Dunlop Crybaby guys of course it's tough like Vin Diesel on Steroids. // 10

Impression: I play a mix of Rage Against The Machines and The Smashing Pumpkins and this pedal does the trick for me. I have this pedal with a Boss DD-5, the first model DigiTech WH-1 Whammy that my uncle gave to me, Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Chorus, and a custom made pedal created by my uncle that gives a similar sound from the solo to Sleep Now In The Fire by Rage Against The Machines, and to top it off a Fender Strat with a Killswitch. This pedal is the best and if it were lost I would consider a Dunlop 535Q Crybaby instead. // 10

Ease of Use: This pedal is really easy to use. There's no EQing, or any buttons to mess around with. It even says: "amplifier" and "instrument" so you know where to connect the amp and your guitar. You turn it on by pushing it hard to the ground and turn it off by pushing it hard to the ground again. Pretty simple. // 10

Sound: I use (and enjoy) a Gibson Les Paul Classic guitar and Laney Pro-Tube amp. This is the only pedal I have connected at the moment and it does change the sound when it's not turned on. It adds a little more warmth, but it tends to make my overdriven sound a little muddy if I don't turn my middle up. But then again, I like lots of mids so that's not a problem for me, but it would be for others. I play a lot of rock-blues, classic rock and some thrash/heavy metal (not nu-metal and power- speed-, doom metal etc) and this pedal gives a good solo wah, but it lags tone at the higher notes. As a wah it'd not very good at high frets, but I think it's really cool because it sounds like a volume pedal and kind of makes my soloing sound, almost, violin like (with slow playing). I think it's a cool "sound feature", but it's not what a wah is supposed to. It also tends to be a little noisy when "pushed to the metal", but that's only a problem if you want to sustain really long. I got mine used pretty cheap and with cables and this pedal has a really good tone for that price. // 8

Reliability & Durability: It's solid as a rock. I've never gigged with this pedal, but I would use a backup, 'cus you never know. Some people might say that I'm a heavy guy (190cm, 90kg), but this pedal takes my beating pretty good. It doesn't have one single scratch and I think that's really good for a pedal in that pricerange. Good job Dunlop. Not much to say really. // 10

Impression: Again, I play, blues-rock, classic rock and thrash/heavy metal, and yes, I think it's a good match for soloing. The tone might get a little too screamy for blues rythm, but I don't use it like that. My favorite feature is that it doesn't have any features:) I've been playing for 1½-2 years, so I figured that this was a good buy. It wont get stolen, but if it does, I wont have enough cash to get a new one. // 9

Ease of Use: Probably the easiest pedal to use in the world. Just stomp it on and start moving the expression pedal to get all those classic "wah-wah" sounds that this pedal became famous for. There can't be a better-sounding, easy-to-use wah pedal out there as far as I'm concerned. // 10

Sound: This is the classic wah sound that most guitar players look for when they want to nail some of those classic solos that made them want to play guitar in the first place. I use it with humbucking pickups, and a whole bunch of effects placed in front of it, so I don't have too many problems with unwanted feedback. However, if you use amplifier distortion and plug straight into the CryBaby, get ready for some noise. Honestly though, I can get some really great tones with this wah and play some classic riffs with it almost spot on (Voodoo Child anyone). Seriously, if your basic wah sound is what you're looking for, this is it, but if you want to change the settings or get a different range on the sweep, forget about it. // 8

Reliability & Durability: Very reliable, very durable: nuff said. // 9

Impression: Definitely one of the greatest guitar effects ever invented. Every time you pull this baby out, everybody will actually love to hear it cry. Rock and metal are this baby's parents, so the effect is always welcome to followers of the genres. It's very replacable, and should be if it breaks down on you. However, it's so affordable that I doubt it will be stolen, so it's no wonder that it's "The #1 best selling pedal of all time." On the other hand though, unless you're Kirk Hammett post 1990, you're probably not gonna use it all the time, let alone use it very much over the course of the time that you own it. But just the same, it's always a decent effect to have in your bag of tricks. // 7

Ease of Use: Very straight forward to use, no knobs or switches to turn and twist, just a straight up and down model of a Crybaby, no swell knobs or intensity knobs to worry about, all of this is controlled by your foot. The manual for this doesn't need to explain a whole lot, just about power usage on batteries and AC power as well as care and what-not. Turning the unit on and off is very basic, just push down on the front of the pedal with your foot, to depress a Switch just underneath the toe part of the pedal, which can prove difficult whilst sitting down, but no big deal. // 9

Sound: I run this at the start of a chain including a BD-2 Bluesdriver, a SD-1 Super-Overdrive, a BF-3 Flanger and a FV-500L with a TU-2 attached. If set on it's own there is very little noise, which then makes the Wah much clearer, but run in conjunction with a small Overdrive it becomes a beautiful, clear, pronounced wah, excellent for clas-rock. But you can't really add much else to it as it becomes a tad muddy. The Wah sounds fine through most amps (some are just awful of course) but to truly get the "sound" out of this you need a Stereo amp (which I don't have yet) it gives a much richer sound as well as more the sound I was looking for, I suggest you try this as one of your inspections before buying. // 8

Reliability & Durability: Very dependable, built fairly tough, I wouldn't go around throwing it off things, apart form all the delicate electronics inside it (all of you Boss users), it's not a brick, as I wouldn't expect it to be, it can stand up to Live playing, it can stand up to just about any playing situation, though it tends to chew through batteries, which is why I run the AC power on all of my pedals, the only problem with this is that I think you need a Dunlop brand AC power for this, as a generic one seems to wiggle loose very easily, which just requires a tiny adjust, but still slightly irritating. // 8

Impression: I play just about anything, I draw the line at anything I need to drop tune for though. I use this pedal in conjunction with Funk, Jazz (soloing mostly), classic rock, rock etc. I've already mentioned what other gear I'm using it with, it all runs together fairly well, until you just get silly with the effects. If it were lost or stolen I would definitely consider getting another one, or looking into the Vox equivalent, just for something different. This is just the pedal for me, it does it's job, it does it simply, and it does it well, just what I wanted, but as I say, there is always room for improvement in terms of various amp capabilities. // 8

Ease of Use: It will not let me send this review, every time it pops up and says Please write "Easy of Use". And this is the minimum number of "Easy of Use"s that I can put in here to make it send. Obnoxiously easy to use. If you have the wah in the full forward position and you go to stomp on it to turn it on, sometimes the button doesn't click, so just make sure it's all the way back when you turn it on. If that makes sense. // 10

Sound: My current setup is: Washburn Maverick BT-4 > Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95 > Danelectro Fab Distortion D-1 > Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi USA (greatest pedal ever, I might add) > Behringer GMX-212 (100 watts, has two 50-watt Jensen speakers). Once you work with it for a while you can get a very very sweet tone for leads and soloing. Makes any solo sound good. Also very useful for playing psychedelic effects, try using it with a very prominent delay effect, very trippy. I've noticed that the effect for the most part doesn't work on the lowest 2 strings, so it's pretty worthless if you're trying to use it on some heavy riffs. Also, the effect doesn't really work on maybe about the highest 5 or 6 notes on the highest string. Is this infamous "tone sucking" only when it's on? Because I notice no difference between before I owned it and now when I have it off. When it is on though, yes, your tone is drastically different. In my opinion it only sounds sweet when you're actually rocking it, I still haven't found this "sweet spot" people are talking about if you set it around the middle of it's sweep. It is very noisy when it's on with distortion and a bit noisy when there is no distortion, so turn it off if you're going to stop playing for even a second or you'll get this loud humming/hissing noise depending on what position it's in. I noticed if I put it after my distortion pedals, the wah effect is extremely prominent to a point where you cannot even tell what notes you're playing. Something tells me Clapton, Hendrix, Gilmour etc do not have it at after their effects. Put it at the beginning, before all of your effects and it'll still be prominent but your notes will come through clear too, it sounds very professional. With heavy distortion, this thing just rips. Super rich, creamy tone. Good for solos and not much else, but man this thing will make your solos sound incredible. Even just running over blues scales or something. With my Big Muff Pi USA it sounds jawdropping. No wonder the Cry Baby is the best selling pedal of all time. // 10

Reliability & Durability: It's built so sturdy if you hit it with a bat you'd probably break the bat. Throw it at a wall and you'll probably break the wall, etc. One time my friend was kicking it across my carpeting and one of the little rubber stopper/gripper/leg dealies came off the bottom and it was a bitch to get back on. So don't slide it on carpet. I've heard the potentiometer only lasts a year or two, so don't be scared if it stops working if you've had it for a while. Of course I'd use it on a gig without a backup. You think I have enough money to buy another one just in case this one dies? // 8

Impression: Like I said, it's incredible for solos, trippy effects & the theme to Shaft but nothing else, so you probably won't be using it a lot (whereas I hardly ever play anything without using my Big Muff Pi). This thing can make crappy solos sound great. Great for beginners or pros. I was either going to buy this or a Morley Power Wah and I asked some people and everybody recommended the Dunlop. It doesn't come with an adapter or a battery, and from Radio Shack a 9V adapter is $15. Kind of steep for a plug with a cord, but worth it. I'm in a band and we play some Sonic Youth type of psychedelic/atmospheric/noise jams which this is perfect for. We also do some Black Flag style hardcore punk and some Melvins/Swans style insanely heavy metal jams. The first time I played a wah pedal was when I got this home, I didn't even try it out in the store. I had just heard so much about this that I went out and bought it immediately. At the time Guitar Center were having a sale and a Danelectro effects pedal was free with any wah pedal so I got a $15 Distortion pedal for free with the Cry Baby. Good deal. Overall if you just want a bargain-priced, simple but very effective wah pedal, this is it. Excellent tone, worth the money in my opinion. Get it. // 9

Ease of Use: It's real easy to use, jsut plug in a rock the pedal back and forth. Slide it forward for treble and back for bass. It's a real basic pedal so there aren't any features such a Q control and stuff you see on newer wah pedals but it works well enough. I didn't really like the sound out of mine, it didn't have much sweep, it could only go real trebley or bassy, there was no in between. imagine haveing two extremes but nothing in between. So I changed the 33k resistor for a 100k one and the 0.01µF cap with a 0.068µF cap. The first mod gave the wah a more vocal sound, think Vox Clyde McCoy, the second increased the wah range making it a lil more trebley. // 7

Sound: I have an Ibanez GRG270DX, basswood body and a DOD 40 watt amp which I can't seem to identify or get anyone to do so for that matter but it works pretty fine. I can get a Hendrix sound from it and a Slash one too, even a Hammet one which is pretty damn awesome, but then again it's modded so I don't expect you to be able to do the same. // 7

Reliability & Durability: This one would score a perfect 10, it's freakin solid. And you can feel it. I would definitely use one without a backup since it's so well built. It really is heavy. I sometimes use it as a paperweight. You definitely can depend on it yea. And how often do people buy two wah pedals? I would definitely use one without a backup, partially due to insufficient funding and the need to buy other effects! // 10

Impression: I play many styles, anything from Hendrix to Maiden to COB to Oasis and it works for all the styles where the artists use wah pedals. It's surprising what that lil mod can do to your sound! I just wish that it came with true bypass since it does tend to suck your tone imo but yea, I can get the guy at the shop to do it for 40 bucks US. It also drains batteries really fast so I suggest getting a power cable for it. // 8

One small gripe the plastic grips on the bottom came off a little easy but they go back on even easier so not a problem. I would gig (and have) gig with this in a second. Played a school talent show with this and no problems at all. // 9

I love the awesome wah tone you get out of it. Can't say anything bad about this pedal. And my fav. feature is its simplicity, just plug and play.

it probly sounds WAY better with an overdrive pedal in front of it, but all i have used is with the amp overdrive and it is kind of weak. on clean it is amazing! it probly needs an adapter to sound better too. got this one for my birthday and it rocks. playing soldier side intro by SOAD sounds pretty coolon this wah

[Johnny Blade]

this pedal sucks with distortion of any kind. weak!

[Shreddin 4 Life]

I noticed many of you complaining about using this wah w/ distortion or playing high notes.
Remember: your tone helps a lot, instead of using a tone that has a lot of bass and treble, and very little mid-range, your wah loses a lot of it's effectiveness. Drop some of the treble and boost the mids-your results will increase significantly!!!

[Shreddin 4 Life]

Another thing, upon reading up on more wahs, I discovered that most wahs dont hold up very well when you use drop tunings (like down 1 step or 1 & 1/2 steps [D and C# respectively]), that most simple wha pedals lose their effectivness as well...
This should be considered when you take a look at this one (and perhaps a closer look at the "Black Cat Moan" by Rocktron).

[Johnny Blade]

thanx shreddin 4 life, i will give that a go

[moo453]

uh, i might buy this one on ebay used, but theres no white part on top like in this picture. also, whats an adapter, and will i need it when i play stuff like sweet child o mine or hendrix type stuff?

[moo453]

oh and i forgot, would the Vox V847 Reissue Wah Pedal be better than this or should i just get this one?

[Johnny Blade]

the best wah pedal that i have ever used is a chicago iron parachute wah. it is a remake of the old tychobrahe parapedal that is no longer in production. however i own both a vox and crybaby aswell and the best of those 2 is the vox V847 wah. that is good for guns 'n' roses, cream and hendrix stuff

[Shreddin 4 Life]

The "white thing" on top is just the caution sticker that comes w/ the pedal when u but it new...

One thing u guys must know tho, Slash & Hendrix both used Crybaby's in the studio... (the old ones w/ the fiesel chip in them).

[Shreddin 4 Life]

btw,
An adaptor is just a 9-volt power source which is an alternative to using batteries. It has very little to do with the sound.

However,I heard somewhere that using batteries in a practicing situation reduces the amount of noise/buzz u get from the treble boost...

[shinzon]

The crybaby is a fantastic pedal.Though the only problem i have with the pedal is that is a nightmare to activate or shut it off, you litterally have to jump on the pedal, do any of you guys have the same issue or is it just a defect on mine??

broke to. Im thinking manufacturer defect? Any help with how to fix this would be nice.

im currently looking for a wah pedal and i cant decide what i should get, in whoevers personal opinion what is better DB-01 (Dimebag Darrel Signature wah) or a GCB-95F (CLASSIC crybaby, not the one in this review) ?

I tried this pedal and it sucks! It's Ok I suppose, but there is very little range compared to some pedals and it drinks batteries. So I bought a Morley Power Wah and they're sooooo much better.

(by the way Hendrix used a VOX I beleive)

always have your wah first in your chain if you use dist pedals dont put it after them it sounds horrible

Checked...Quebec Style

NiK-117 :
i have dis pedal, its well good. wahs arent really designed for super high notes on the e string, i cant name one solo where a wah pedal as used high up the e (past the 14th fret for example)

You obviously don't listen to Iron Maiden

Vox pedals are better than Dunlop any day of the week.
