Dunlop

collapse expand iconDescription

The Dunlop Cry Baby Classic Fasel Inductor Wah Pedal is a heavy-duty stompbox that recreates the lush vocalsweeps and harmonically rich tones that defined the wah sound of the 1960s. By reintroducing Faselinductors—key components that shaped the Cry Baby's signature voice for decades—Dunlop has unlocked a pivotal part of electric guitar history. The Cry Baby Classic lets players everywhere experience the wah as Hendrix and Clapton first heard it.

Authentic '60s Tone with Legendary Fasel Inductors

At the heart of the Cry Baby Classic are vintage-spec Fasel inductors, handmade in Italy to precise '60s specifications. These inductors were integral to the lush, vocal quality of the original Cry Baby but had been unavailable for years until Dunlop reissued them. The result is a wah tone that transports players back to the Summer of Love, with all the warmth, depth and nuance of the era's most cherished recordings.

Built to Withstand Decades of Stomping

While the Cry Baby Classic revives a vintage sound, its construction is anything but dated. The pedal features a heavy die-cast housing, durable potentiometer and rugged components ready to handle the stomps of today's players. Road-tested and tour-proven, the Cry Baby Classic delivers iconic '60s tone night after night, year after year.

Vintage-Style Potentiometer for Smooth Sweeps

Dialing in vocal-like wah effects requires a sensitive and responsive potentiometer. The Cry Baby Classic features a 100k ohm potentiometer—the same value used in the original Cry Baby—for a smooth, gradual sweep range and precise control over tone. Players can conjure up percussive, funky wah sounds or languid, emotive effects with equal ease.

AC Power or Battery—The Choice is Yours

While the Cry Baby Classic summons up vintage vibe, it offers modern convenience with options for power. Run the pedal off a 9V battery for straightforward setup or connect a Dunlop ECB003 AC adapter for peace of mind during extended sessions or live shows. Either way, iconic wah tone is always at your feet.
