Dunlop Cry Baby Junior Wah (CBJ95)
The Dunlop Cry Baby Junior Wah is a purpose-built solution for modern pedalboard enthusiasts. Developed in collaboration with Pedaltrain, it sits in the "Goldilocks" zone of wah pedals—smaller than the standard GCB95 but larger than a Mini Wah—offering a comfortable 8-inch treadle that fits perfectly on Metro, Classic, and Novo series boards.
Key Features
- Three Selectable Voices: A side-mounted 3-position switch allows you to toggle between three distinct wah characters:
- H (High): The aggressive, modern sound of the classic GCB95.
- M (Mid): A vintage, midrange-focused growl reminiscent of early wah pedals.
- L (Low): A dark, rich, and vocal frequency range
- Front-Mounted Jacks: The input, output, and power jacks are located at the front of the pedal rather than the sides. This allows for a tighter side-by-side configuration on your board, saving horizontal space and simplifying cable routing.
- On/Off Status LED: Unlike traditional wahs that leave you guessing, the Junior features a bright white LED to clearly indicate when the effect is engaged.
- Adjustable Torque: A clutch located under the heel allows you to adjust the resistance of the sweep, letting you choose between a loose, fast action or a stiff, stationary "cocked wah" feel.
- Lightweight & Durable: The aluminum housing provides legendary Cry Baby durability while keeping the weight down for travel-friendly boards.
