Detail 01
Signature voicing
The sweep is fixed to one preset character rather than user-adjustable, so you get that sound without dialing.

Independent shopping perspective
Kirk Hammett signature Cry Baby wah. A standard-format wah voiced for lead work, aimed at rock and metal players who want a fixed, aggressive sweep.

What matters in use
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 01
The sweep is fixed to one preset character rather than user-adjustable, so you get that sound without dialing.
Detail 02
Press the toe down past the sweep to engage. No separate footswitch, so on/off happens with the same foot motion.
Detail 03
Cosmetic only, but the enclosure is the standard Cry Baby shell, so aftermarket bottoms and pads fit.
Detail 04
Heavy cast housing built for foot pressure on stage. Adds real weight to a board.
Detail 05
Sits between guitar and amp, or in front of a dirt pedal, where the filter has the most bite.
Final check

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. Plan on a standard pedal power supply or an open output on the board you already run.
No. This is the signature voicing, set at the factory. If you want to tune Q and range yourself, look at a different Cry Baby model.
Usually first, right after the guitar and before distortion. That gives the most vocal sweep. After distortion it sounds thinner and more piercing.
No. It's voiced for lead rock and metal, but the sweep works for funk rhythm too. It's just a more aggressive filter than a vintage-voiced wah.
