Dunlop Kirk Hamett Signature KH95

A Custom-Tailored Wah Based on Kirk's Stage Sound

This signature wah was developed to reproduce the settings Kirk Hammett has used for years, notably through his Cry Baby Rack Wah on tour. The goal is clear: to achieve a consistent response, a pronounced presence, and that "vocalizing" articulation that cuts through a dense mix, even with high gain.

It fits within the Cry Baby spirit: an expressive pedal, simple to use, yet distinctive enough to become a signature sound element. Here, the setting and foot feel are geared towards real-world effectiveness (high volumes, heavy saturation, sharp attacks).

Who It's For, Which Styles, and Contexts

This wah is primarily aimed at rock and metal guitarists who want a truly "plug and play" pedal: you engage it, play, and the wah does the work without having to hunt for the perfect balance point. It suits both intermediate players seeking an inspiring effect and seasoned musicians looking for a stable and expressive wah on stage.

In a live context, its pronounced character helps bring out leads, harmonics, and pick slides. In the studio, it provides a clear filter modulation to double a line, shape a rhythm part, or add movement to a solo without stacking effects. On a pedalboard, it naturally sits at the very start of the chain (often before distortion) to maintain dynamic touch and a sharp output.
