The Dunlop Cry Baby is the most iconic and widely used wah-wah guitar effectspedal in music history, known for its ability to add expressive, human voice-like tones to an electric guitar signal.
Overview
- Function:
The pedal features a rocker mechanism that a player controls with their
foot. Rocking the pedal back and forth sweeps a filter across
frequencies, from bass (heel down) to treble (toe down), which creates
the signature "wah" effect.
- History:
Initially produced by Thomas Organ and Vox in 1966, Dunlop
Manufacturing acquired the rights and started producing the pedals with
near-exact specifications in 1982.
- Iconic Use:
The Cry Baby was quickly adopted by legendary guitarists such as Jimi
Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and David Gilmour, and has since been used on
countless recordings across genres from rock to funk to metal.
- Construction:
Modern Cry Baby pedals are known for their heavy-duty, die-cast
housing, built to withstand years of playing. They can be powered by a
9-volt battery or an optional AC adapter.
