Dunlop Original Crybaby Wah Pedal Review – My Favorite Wah Wah
Classic, Classic guitar pedal here. The Dunlop Crybaby Wah is probably the most easily recognizable and best selling wah pedal known to man. So if you are considering buying a wah pedal or are unhappy with your current pedal, read this review carefully.
The pedal is constructed of high quality, die cast steel which despite being heavy, is designed for the road. Any wah wah pedal works by allowing the player to rock the pedal back and forth (review continued below...)

...to vary the actual tone of the guitar (usually from low to high frequency tonality) which produces the distinctive, almost watery wah effect.
The following Video is a player I found on YouTube who makes good use out of his Crybaby Wah, and doesn't even butcher the licks!
The original Crybaby Wah has completely smooth rocker action (which other knock-off pedals usually fail at) and is dead simple to operate. In other manufacturers' quests to compete with the Dunlop Crybaby they usually try to put extra bells and whistles in their pedal that don't even need to be there.
I am a firm believer that there is beauty in simplicity. The Dunlop Crybaby focuses on one thing but does it extremely well. This guitar pedal adds a tiny bit of nose in your signal when activated but other that is to be expected. If you are looking for the classic Wah sound, look no further.
