The Cry Baby Wah is the most iconic guitar effect in music history. When it hit the scene in 1966, it added a whole new layer of expression to the electric guitar-players such as Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton used the Cry Baby Wah to create some of the most timeless sounds in rock.

The GCB95 is a modern interpretation of that sound, featuring the lush, expressive character of the legendary red Fasel® inductor with a more focused high end and a more aggressive and accentuated wah sound. With a heavy-duty die-cast housing and a Hot Potz Potentiometer tested to one million cycles, the Cry Baby Wah will withstand years of playing.

Tone sucking, volume dropping 3 of 3 customers found this review helpful

It does the wah thing. For my rig, into Traynor YGL2, it drops volume off or on, and kills highs is off, but in the signal path. I tried it in a loop to isolate, which fixed tone suck, but still drops volume when engaged. So I put in a clean boost to fix that. Now it's 3 pedals to sound right.
Swapped for a 535Q which fixes all this without mods or using extra pedals.

Lasted 2 months then went scratchy like all the rest. Tried the YouTube remedies but as many have noted, it’s a short fix. Now I get to choose between the replacement pots out there. I know they need to be replaced but not this quickly. Be prepared before you purchase. Amazon is full of people who can barely give these things away.

I’ve been relying on a multi-effects processor for my guitar tone for the better part of the last ten years. Decided to finally buy some pedals and this was on my list. While my multi-effects did a great job at modelling a Crybaby, nothing beats the original. It’s crisp and responsive and works great with cleans and leads. An absolute must-have for any guitar player.

Best wah pedal out there. Also the most durable pedal one can buy. If it ever starts sticking, its an easy fix with some WD-40.

I was initially charged the wrong price of $154.99, had to call the store back to find out online that it was definitely the wrong price. In terms of the pedal, it is very good for any player at any level.

I had one decades ago and sold it. When I got back into playing this was the first pedal I bought, and it sounds just like the pedal I owned back in the day. Just my opinion, but there's no need to spend the extra $$$ on any signature model, the Original is what they're all based on anyway.

The vocal quality of this wah pedal is amazing, its solid and has some weight to it, I would like if the sweeping wah tone was slightly more subtle, but other than that its always pro quality.

You cannot go wrong with the Crybaby. I've owned 3 of them over the past 30 years, not that any broke, but traded one for a Vox and gave one to a friend at his wedding, the most recent I bought used, because, hey... these things are indestructible right? And I was right. This new one sounded just as sweet as one I had in the early 80's. My Vox wah, while an excellent pedal, is currently being used to hold the pantry door closed at the cottage.

This wah pedal is awesome, it improved my tone and even my sustain. Very versatile, I can do easy rock/blues/jazz/metal, any genre. Also my playing is much more musical now. I'd say this is a must have for any serious student of any style, except classical.

I've had this pedal for a while now, it's the first pedal I've owned, and it's amazing. The sound is clear and evident when playing and it works smoothly. Built tough too, so good buy for any level of guitarists.

I love my crybaby. Yes,… there are other types, brands, tons of different options, endorsed by a number of players, and,.. of course,… the prices vary just as much. But who cares,… it’s all about personal preference. I have tried some of the versatile do everything electronic ones and I just don’t like them like I do this one. If you don’t own a wah, buy this one! Its a good place to start until you figure out exactly what you are looking for. By then, there will likely be another 25 on the market to choose from and this one will still be among the most popular.

When I buy this one, it sounds great, but you will notice sooner that it sucks the tone of your guitar. So I say it's good if you want the normal one and you can modify it with your own tone settings. I should say I recommend this pedal for the beginner which they want to express the tone through wah pedal.

This thing is perfect. No need to buy the other more expensive ones out there, this one does everything you need it to do. Great quality at a reasonable price. It's no wonder professionals prefer the crybaby over the other brands out there.

Even though there are more expensive versions of the cry baby, the original isn't bad. In fact, it's amazing. It did everything I expected it to do and I would recommend it to any guitarist, novice or expert. It producing a nice tone and it didn't break on me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
