Detail 01
Signature voicing

DunlopJB95 Joe Bonamassa Signature Cry Baby Wah Guitar Effects Pedal
funkrock
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Signature Cry Baby wah voiced for Bonamassa's blues-rock lead tone. For players who want a vocal, midrange-focused sweep rather than a general-purpose wah.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Blues-rock lead players who ride the treadle through solos
- Guitarists chasing a vocal, throaty wah rather than a scratchy one
- Funk and rhythm work where the sweep needs definition
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bass players — the sweep is set for guitar frequencies
- Anyone wanting a neutral, do-anything wah for many styles
- Small pedalboards — this eats close to ten inches of length
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
9.84 in. long
A wah's footprint is set by the treadle. Measure your board front to back before committing a slot.
Detail 03
3.79 lb
Heavy for a pedal, which is what you want. It stays put when you rock the treadle hard.
Detail 04
3.7 in. tall
Taller than a standard stompbox. It won't fit under a low-profile pedalboard lid or in a shallow gig bag pocket.
Detail 05
Treadle switching
Engages when you press the toe down past the sweep. There's no separate footswitch to hit.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Wahs are power-hungry by daisy-chain standards — budget an isolated supply output
- 02Check whether a battery or adapter is included before you plan your first gig
- 03Place it early in the chain, before drive, or the sweep gets harsh
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it need a power supply or does it run on a battery?
It runs on standard 9V pedal power. Confirm what ships in the box — plan on a 9V adapter or isolated supply output either way.
02How is this different from a standard Cry Baby?
It's voiced to Joe Bonamassa's preference — a specific, midrange-forward sweep rather than the general-purpose range of a stock Cry Baby. Fixed voicing, no internal range switch to fiddle with.
03Can I use it with bass?
It's a guitar wah. The sweep sits in guitar midrange, so on bass you'll lose low end and the effect will feel thin.
04Where does it go in my signal chain?
Before your overdrive and distortion. After drive, a wah tends to sound piercing at the toe-down end of the sweep.
