A Legendary Wah at the Heart of the Hendrix Sound
The wah-wah is one of the most iconic effects in the history of electric guitar, and Jimi Hendrix defined its language: "spoken" accents, dynamic pedal movements, and sharp attacks that turn a simple chord into a musical phrase. The Jim Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Cry Baby follows this tradition with a decidedly vintage approach: a pedal designed to recapture the spirit and feel of a Cry Baby paired with the psychedelic and rock sounds of the 1960s. Its Sleek Black aluminum chassis complements the "instrument" aspect of the effect, ready to withstand rehearsals, gigs, and demanding pedalboards.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This wah is aimed at all guitarists who want a simple, immediate, and inspiring pedal, from beginners (to learn foot control and work on rhythmic precision) to seasoned musicians seeking a wah with a strong character. It excels in rock, blues, funk, psychedelic, and classic rock, proving equally effective for thickening rhythm parts or making a solo "sing".
In the studio, it allows for very clean, reproducible movements and expressive takes without multiplying effects. Live, its dynamic behavior encourages "right-hand" playing: the harder you attack, the more the wah responds with bite. It integrates easily into a pedalboard, placed before or after a fuzz/overdrive depending on the desired tone: sharper and edgier upfront, smoother and more controlled downstream.

Questions frequently asked
What sound does this wah provide with a Strat?
With a Strat-type guitar, the sweep highlights clear and biting attacks, suited to Hendrix-inspired phrasing. The pronounced midrange presence helps solos cut through the mix.
Dunlop JH1D Cry Baby Hendrix Signature power supply 9V
Power is supplied by a 9 V battery or a 9 V DC adapter, not included. Current consumption is about 1 mA. A compartment under the pedal allows battery access without removing the bottom plate.
Does the pedal preserve the signal when turned off?
True bypass disables the circuit when the effect is off to preserve signal integrity.
Where to place this wah with a fuzz or an overdrive?
Placed before a fuzz or overdrive, the pedal produces a sharper and more aggressive tone. Placed after these effects, its behavior becomes smoother and more controlled.
Is the Hot Potz potentiometer suitable for heavy use?
The Hot Potz potentiometer is designed to withstand repetitive use, touring, and recording. Its Sleek Black aluminum chassis supports this robust design.
