All user reviews for the Dunlop GCB95 Cry Baby

No rglage (priori)

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple: to support a good shot to the top of the pedals to engage or dsenclencher effect.

SOUND QUALITY

What about ... This is a classic pedals! I have a collection of pedals, but eventually my basic set is relatively small: Danelectro Dan-Echo and Jim Dunlop CryBaby! These are the only two effects that I really like ncessaire Whereas in my game, the rest as superfluous, the fun ...

I just Chipot crmaillre to change the range of frequencies. I made a anyhow, so I do not know if it acts now in acute or severe ... anyway, I have this PDAL for 7 years, it's probably the one most often remains in effect and my set that I used as live.

OVERALL OPINION

Inevitable, although since its inception, Jim Dunlop has toff its range and other Wah-wah most versatile and adjustable exist. I do not know if all are equal, but the GCB-95 is extremely simple and fearful of efficiency.

Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95
1 input, 1 output, an unmanaged switch / off
there's no easier!
Only drawback, you need a screwdriver to change the battery on this model.

UTILIZATION

Purchase, no manual. (Y ', but no need!)

At first I found the race enough, very short on the acute, long on the grave. but I done quickly follows, and in fact, this race allows me to nonlinear abbusé this effect with ease for hours without Acuna fatigue.
I love the sound produced, Criar at high frequencies, ideal for blues in the clear or with a slight crunch, enjoyable basically sound (metal type), because it can play with feedback, is not always evident.
Brief sounds very typical, when I served, I took to Hendrix !!!!!!
I love ...

SOUND QUALITY

What about ....
is a cry baby! this sound is particuliaire, nothing to do with a morley or via a simulation quelquonque multieffet.comme I said previously, it is screaming in the acute (but I like it). it is very suitable for my type of game .
best to get an idea, (re) Listen voodoochild, and go try it!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months, she will have crashes that I separated! but given the robustness of the machine, I went to many years of pure pleasure.
I love this wha-wha, parcqu'elle is whaou-whaou!
I use it with my Cort X6 ValveKing amp um and 212 (and occasionally with a Valvestate VS100) or a marshall MG30DFX (home!)
it cost me less than 50 euros opportunities. I begin to tell me that I did not pay enough compared to the pleasure I take in play.

God Save the Rock!

What could be simpler than the basic Dunlop Wah eh??

UTILIZATION

One switch and it plays ... Find more difficult. After as with all expression systems, we must get to sync up and play guitar to harmonize all ... This work is psychomotor. Next, what about other ... I see it!

SOUND QUALITY

This basic model is surprising at the beginning: the race in the treble is actually quite short, as stated in the previous opinion. It is expected initially to more balance in the race.
Otherwise, it performs its function well. Considering the price of the Dunlop Wah whose range has greatly expanded in recent years, it's still the cheapest! And it's hyper-efficient and versatile. The most finicky fans or the effect will surely be tempted by the tempting offer proposed by the manufacturer and will probably ready to look more closely at the characteristics of SOther models. Otherwise, basically, it's safe!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this pedal there are over 10 years! And it still works perfectly. Having had a period of inactivity, the dust has accumulated and the potentiometer crachottait hairy to recovery. A good cleaning, a bomb to blow the electrical contacts to the right place ... And roll youth. It is left to last!
In fact, I owned a variety of effects which I separated over time to buy more. Only Cry Baby remained in my set. I do not part with it for anything else in Wah.

- A Wha Wha, period.
- Analog Technology
- Nothing is ditable on a computer
- A simple jack guitar with two inputs (input and output)

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is as simple as possible: just y'as maneuver with his foot and make "whaouuuwhaouuuwhaouuuwha" speed that DSIR ^ ^
- No edition of his, no possibilté "direct" to tweak the sound frquence etc ...
- No manual, just a lot of pub from Dunlop, a small paper that shows how you put the battery, the type of configuration prfr of Mr. Hendrix and a paper return Dunlop (which acts as a guarantee )

I put 8 or -2 for a ton of commercials from Dunlop.

SOUND QUALITY

- The effect is trs basic, personally I think it's a Wha-Wha correct and out good sound. But (I'm not the only think) that the race between the closed and open wha trs is short, too bad ...
- I use a Fender Telecaster, a Squier Stratocaster, all on a Fender 15W amp and / or a Vox AD15VT (for home) and a Marshsall MG100W studio, multi effect with Korg, and occasionally with the scratching of my brother, a Shumberg SG

- 2 for the average race ...

OVERALL OPINION

- I recently possde (for exactly 17h - March 5, 2008)
- I like the fact that direct srieux matter. I tried the wha-wha of Behringer and I must say that there is no direct picture when comparing first and the quality of matrial utiliss. It's solid, it's even the heaviest pedals I port (for now). What I like least is the fact that we must fouttre all his weight on top of the pedals and turn and wha-wha. I read you can tweak the height precisely to facilitate the ACCS.
- It seems to me that a former friend had the same guitar, and the very FIRST TIME I have test it even gave me said "Do not hesitate, you puts all your weight to turn, was going to break and all ... " This is the very first time I t as impressed by the robustness of pedals, so used the Behringer (even if I was super careful)
- I know exactly the price rel (time of day) of the pedals. D'APRS Thommann, it is in the 110-120 and 125 traditional stores in retail price (of APRS Toulousain a music store that I usually frquenter). I paid 60, and a new individual. For now, I think I made a great buy.
- Yes and no. I read that there are still enhanced version of these pedals, with just an EQ Intgr and all ... but ...

PS: The photo Submitted on this profile is not correct. The photo is from the old version of Wha, not to frighten those who bought the same but do not recognize (like me ptdrrr beginners ...) I post the photo:



A big thank you for letting me know Owned Signal)

Wah everyone knows, there is thus an effect that "wah wah" and that dsenclenche when you press the bottom up press the switch.
I find it just a shame it is not a true team-bypass of origin, even if a very easy to tinker (manip I did and that brings me full satisfaction ).

UTILIZATION

No need of manual, branch and basta! Can be connected to a string of power supply (I use a one spot).

SOUND QUALITY

The effect is classic, probably the most famous guitar effects in the world! I find it truly Russian in clean, or we keep all the dynamics, without being garish.
T have a little less confident in its saturated or treble tend be a bit garish, and lose some serious dynamic, so they get a little tuft if we play in groups. I use it with a Start, maxon od-9 and big muff recently. But there may be a way to rduire running, Manir erase some highs (too high) and low (a bit choking). Important precision: I play a Fender Fat Start Blues deluxe us and I've never used a different config.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year since I have it. I am satisfied, it does the job, but I must admit that I expected better on distorted sounds. I have not tried other models of equivalents.
With exprience, I do not think I jeterais over right away, I would try to Vox can be such before I DCID.

Ref other.

UTILIZATION

Another ref

SOUND QUALITY

To see the rest disagree.

Trs good quality in clear, especially in neck pickup. Trs funk, good sound on.

she asks in a disto be a little more control, it sounds better on the crunch or the od on the distortion. The distortion it tends to be a little more rough but it's still usable and coutable.

Can be expensive in order to put a true bypass and an SETTING THE race.

In short good effect if you are looking for a wah.

OVERALL OPINION

Cheap and trs good effect. Modified easily.

Wah is a very popular, simple and effective. One in, one out. Works with a battery or 9v adapter. Snap to toe. A pedal very simple!

UTILIZATION

You arm your guitar and your amp, you press the button and you play ... what else to say ...

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is good, it's a good wah. The exite the best but it is very effective. Proffesionelle the music in a long time will tell on its quality, but I like it a lot it does the job! In studio or show is a good stock!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months and I like it a lot especially since I have an adapter! He eats the small batteries! I love everything about this pedal, it sounds good but it eats batteries. The trick to not empty the beat is in the disconnect when you have finished playing. In my pedal set is annoying to unplug the pedals after ... while living adapters !

Do not go in to rate this pedal! This is a must!

UTILIZATION

Simple.
For those whose switch does not engage well it's very easy to adjust its height. You just need a screwdriver to open the case and a key to adjust the height of the switch.

SOUND QUALITY

This is where it gets stuck. When she is walking it will when the effect is cut is devastating. The bass and treble disappear and remains only the nasal base.
Fortunately, it's pretty easy to fix, just a few mods to put a true bypass. Check out here:
http://www.onlybass.com/html/fab-cry.html
The manipulation is explained step by step.
There are in addition to other cool mod though.

OVERALL OPINION

Modif before it unusable in my opinion (I put 3 / 10). Bypass the sound deteriorates too.
Once changed it becomes very good (8 / 10).
For my part, I started putting a TrueBypass and an LED that indicates when the effect is running. Then I added a switch that toggles between a wah guitar (GCB-95) to a low Wah (GCB-100). It's pretty simple change only a capacitor between the two wah.

Dunlop wah wah pedals, rdition the original cry baby marketed by Thomas Organ in the 70's.
PDAL of SERIES, no cblage hand, but with analog components and inducing low-end, no bypass cblage true (for once, like the original possibility of connect sector, which is apprciable

UTILIZATION

Like all Wahs, trs simple.
rem: Race potentiomtre long compared to the original or vox (the original and 847) which gives a wider range ACCS frequency drives but ...

SOUND QUALITY

But ...
the sound is not terrible ... sincrement
Range frequency drives is larger but not really usable: acute trs screaming, sick people who want to throw low, muddy or even inaudible.
It has been a frquences mdium modulation (wah) but bump increases.
The sound is cold and not very subtle trs, trs screaming, no voice. Tone is the trs ugly, no hoarse trs, we are far from the original!
In his clear and beginners "crank" is what I've heard worse. The 847 is better (but nothing do with the original).
IN overdrive is a bit better, saturation, even better, but still largely trs of the original.
It just boosts the sound level which is apprciable solo, but the rendering is mdiocre.

OVERALL OPINION

I jou for years (purchased in 1994 by grinding the crmaillre ...), the knob for an optimal and blocking the race to avoid going in the lower too muddy.
can switch to a saturation but the tonality is great.
not true bypass but I do not care (my original are not ...)
Now I swear on the original.

the +: indestructible steel case
the -: what is the indoor (j'exagre a little but not as a. ..)

CHRE too for what it is. Premire but good approach. For players express, remain the cart (like the 847) unless you can change them. Otherwise, aim Fulltone or RMC, or even the most addicted or cicadas, aim for vintage (and cross your fingers, is getting the right numro ...)

I have two that I modified: Halo Fulltone inductor or banzai (bc better ...), knob Fulltone ICAR, in true bypass wiring, tropical fish or 0.022 0.028 F, new values ​​of Resistors, CONTRL frequency drives to the beach, the CONTRL Q. Rsultats unrelated PDAL not change, good tonality but lacks precision especially in light / cranck. I love the changes with Fulltone ICAR, cap O, OO22 TF. But ... still far from the original.

among those I possde, my ranking: clyde 67 (the grail ...), jen crybaby end 60 (the same 846 Italian), Thomas Organ beginners 70 (super hoarse voice, hot right now ... my usual), jen 70 double beginners sound, cry baby changing, vox 847, dunlop crybaby.

See below

UTILIZATION

Works like any other wah pedals

SOUND QUALITY

Trsdu. The sound is shrill in the treble (I was not drang of the masses, I love the treble!), But a little too much. The bass are grimey. I have not felt the effect "Wah Wah". I am guitarist beginners (must have a year and a half I itches), and even without the ear of the expert I t's.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for almost a year, and I used to say the least 4 times. I tried to hack the path of the knob to see if I could change some things, but nothing. The sound not pass.
I bought it, seeing it not silent trs expensive and there was the era that positive opinions. I do not have that choice would do. SAVE as a little more and get something that sounds.
Since I use it, I intend to use the box to make me a little personal Wah-Wah in DIY.

Wah wah pedals which when touched.
The board operates a suprieur crmaillre that turns a potentiomtre Tone of the acute to the grave. The action is not large but trs trs sensitive actually.
Crachouille the pedals a little from time to time so I disassemble the rgulirement him a shot to bomb in the knob and leaves.
I noticed that often in the tranport of pdalier, the switch locks into position "no sound". In the beginners I was looking everywhere o the problem could come in my chain but now j'enclenche once the pedals and I found the sound by a miracle. It is insignificant as a stepfather, but even when I had a few cold sweats at the start when a concert the sound was gone strangely. I've even seen in the emergency bypass directly connect me to my pdalier live in the amp.
So for those small inconvnients I put 5 / 10. Could do better.

UTILIZATION

Directions: you put your foot on it, you apply pressure to the front, which has the effect of activating the switch and dclencher effect. You move your foot from front to rear convenience (without forgetting itches course). Forward is acute, to the rear, it's serious. It's like they turned a knob your foot in rgl Tone gives a frquence.
Wah-Wah that did. In fact it's funny, when you activate, you find yourself making wah simultanment with your mouth ...
It's quite enjoyable as effects finally ... the wah wah's foot!

SOUND QUALITY

For my part I that the essay so I did not compare pure again.
It is true that the effect seems to me well, I used to Rhythmic just plain funk and especially for the distorted sounds with Santana or Hendrix Ibanez Tube King or she wonders. For me suits me perfectly.
The BMOL now: dterioration bypassed.
I'm not a freak true bypass, away from because I Whereas many famous guitarists have recorded our solos prfrs Despite this inconvniement.
But it's true that the pedals you do not eat a lot of treble in your circuit.
Okay when used only say to me, but another couple of pedals without true bypass it, too, has come dterioration gives you a nice sound of your guitar . Try plugging in you live on the amp and you tell me the news. You are wasting bandwidth, especially in the acute but also a bit in the bass.
The solution exists it is true: you can change this by changing the switch pedals and making a sort of bridge on the PCB. Number of tutorials on the web you explain in detail. But when same, although HP has ... also shows that a brand is aware of the problem and does not proppose a version of the pedals with the change in SERIES for a reasonable price. As a result, many users turn to other brands forcment Chres more. L I confess I do not understand, the IDE seems to me simple yet ... or there are constraints of marketing or technical m'chappent ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 13 years and I love the sound and sensaton it provides.
Today, I plan srieusement to change to one that would not inconvnients above. For now I have not found that.
It is not so I trs CHRE Whereas when the same report quality price is right.
With the exprience and with money of course, I would choose over a MODEL.
Come on, I put 7 / 10 as it is when a same legends.

pfff ... THE Reference pedal wha to cheap!
Indestructible (see "Global Opinion")

UTILIZATION

Once we understand the timing walk / play with a pick ... means any interest in this wonderful effect.
Like all effects not abuse it.
Useful
<ul>

a more expressive solo (Slash on the second part of "Sweet Child o 'Mine" !!!!),

an original theme song ("Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" Hendrix)

funky rhythms ("Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" Hendrix, "Papa Was a Rollin 'Stone" The Temptations and the unforgettable "Shaft" by Isaac Hayes)

colorful accompaniments (wha blocked the middle position of "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits, "Sister" by Lenny Kravitz, "Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against the Machine)

special effects ("Enter Sandman" by Metallica in the intro and the end of first chorus)

</ul>

The WHA is required if you love 70's music which is rock or disco or funk.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with my guitars.
I prefer it as a complement to overdrive / distortion rather than clear. The Cry Baby is actually excellent in distos: it is aptly named because it screams like a bitch!
For clear sound, I would use instead a vox, but my tastes.

His biggest fault is not having a true bypass: ie that the sound changes when the guitar is plugged into effect (although the effect is off). It's a financial decision Dunlop to be competitive. It will cost about 5 € an hour and welding and preparation to do this "mod" (modification) on a very popular Dunlop, guaranteed results. If you have the means and want to avoid this problem, take the Dunlop 535Q.
When I was young I did not know this story of true bypass, and I had noticed a difference. My trick was to let the effect wha lit clear: I had a kind of channel and "bright".

OVERALL OPINION

Long ago I had my Crybaby (so that I do not remember most how). She was there to calm wah my feet was the love and the funky sound, you know. For solo rocks, she howled like a dog's happiness.
One day, nothing ... on / off switch broke.

Hard, I went to the electronics store closest to my village and I was not a switch-button-but rocking: one side is a hand off. So I made a hole in the side of the drill with the Crybaby Dad (and under the protective eye). And there I had a Crybaby in the world: that we could leave in the locked position in the middle of the race by turning the effect.
THE class.

But I did wrong welds and a day of crushing force and hacks, over wah over Crybaby My sadness was so deep. So I went to the capital, in the district of Pigalle. I was so ashamed, but I bought a Vox to a mac. I liked the Vox stronger and I did not rush the Crybaby in the bottom of a carton.
It was 15 years ago.

There's a year, my mother asked me if she could throw the box with Crybaby wrote on it ... My heart jumped and I said no, I brought with me in his coffin. I opened it, checked the battery and installation (with all the resources of the Internet today) only to realize that I exchanged two son on the rotary Potz! I reconnected and it is with emotion that I put my boots over heels ... and recovered to Crybaby wah-wah without shyness!

So to honor him, I replaced the switch with a true bypass, and plugged the hole in the side by a ch'tite blue light to tell me that the effect is on (the blink of an eye fate). I removed the input buffer, and replaced two resistors (Modz) to redo the one it was.

All that to say that I am in love with a pedal! Waaaaah!

For all that is characteristic, that is exactly the same as the normal cry baby, but just the box is white, is a limited edition.

[7] Good stuff pretty hefty, but not true bypass, adjustable height of the bypass not necessarily well calibrated. But hey, it's part of the charm of the Cry Baby!

UTILIZATION

Bah ... Wha-wha it is! we care about the bottom foot forward to turn, and it's partly my kiki! We balance the foot and it gives the well-known.

Attention to properly calibrate the height of the switch, because it really plays on the flexibility of use. Once that is done, it works well.

[8] It must be addressed, and ultimately the trigger system car when the foot is placed, as the cry baby bass or MXR Variphase suit me better.

SOUND QUALITY

Its good level, not much to say, the cry baby is a reference, it sounds good but it lacks midrange and too much treble in my opinion. M'enfin good personal it suits me.

[9] it personal for me, but it is very good scope treble, it may not appeal. And then there 's better, but it is 4 times more expensive!

OVERALL OPINION

In the end, I bought it there's no further than a year now on ebay for roughly 40 €. I tested all before Cry Baby (thank you to the stand of Total Music), and I really preferred the normal cry baby. All had a sound that I disliked, especially Fasel (which I think was a concern because it was a horror) Slash and I wanted to buy initially. I hesitated with the Zakk Wylde sound that really interesting, really great in saturated but less clear sound (amazing huh?). I ended up taking a normal suit me more in the end.

Q / P bah € 40 is not much more than the equivalent Behringer, class is white, nothing in particular to blame! I would do without hesitation that choice, except with a budget so much, or I would have taken a better type Fulltone & Co

[9] because I have no real criticism to make on this product

PS: For more advice, go see those of the cry baby GCB_95 is the same in a black case!

Everything is already said

UTILIZATION

Such

SOUND QUALITY

His legendary course wah (like chicken mythic Mc ***) but too advanced for my taste, I find the depth of the effect troublesome for the Hard Rock in any case it is my opinion in general.

The sound is very good, it just does not to my taste.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years now, I tried qques models before but not the masses, I recently discovered that I need, I'm just waiting on the ^ ^ '

I think it's still worth a good wahwah greatly look as legendary.
The value for money is cool to see.

I would do this choice as a beginner if I knew little in wah-wah, but not anymore because I know the sound I want.

wha is a, there is an entrance and an exit outlet power supply over the little flap for the battery underneath, it's simple

UTILIZATION

the wah is very stable thanks to the pads, no noise (some people complain about the noise of the rack but you just grease.

SOUND QUALITY

We hear that's for sure, in clear treble and slap it feels to play in a bottle when you lift your foot (but I play very little light). In large disto (uh metallica solo ^ ^) the filter is shortened a little, slap less acute, and yes it better.
on the other hand hello very breath and pedal off as I have a guitar that is worthy of a sub-m ** of that suit them

OVERALL OPINION

1 month
I never tested the other.
€ 90 is not the end of the world when we see the ernie ball or some signature models

Ah, the classic wah pedal, the Dunlop Crybaby. Not much special as far as specs go, buffered bypass, no LED indicator, no knobs or extra switches. Although there is far better wahs out there stock, the Dunlop can be found for cheap, and is a great pedal to mod. I got mine used for only $20.

UTILIZATION

It's not exactly hard to use, stick your foot on the pedal, activate the switch, and then rock said foot back and forth. Ta-da! You too can now be Kirk Hammett!

Seriously though, it can take a little getting use to if you're not great at multitasking. That said, once you get it down, it becomes pretty much second nature. And even if you can't get the hang of it, it is built well enough to chuck at the drummer.

I can't say how well the manual explains how to use it, as I got it used with no manual, but really, it's not rocket science guys.

SOUND QUALITY

This is were a stock Crybaby falls short. Stock it is way too shrill and piercing, and it sounds pretty whimpy all around. That is quite easily fixed though, I spent about $20 to mod mine and it sounds nothing short of amazing now. That being said, this review is for a stock wah, so I have to give it pretty low marks for sound. I'm pretty sure that the newest revision of the Crybaby comes stock with a reissue Red Fasel inductor, which very well may help the general lack of tone.

The buffer is also pretty nasty as well. I know buffers are good for when you have long cable runs, but that kinda goes out the window when the buffer in question sucks. Once again though, modding it for true-bypass just about couldn't be simpler. I'm not entirely sure why Dunlop just doesn't do it straight from the factory. I'm running through a Peavey Ultra all-tube amp pushing a 5150 Straight cab with Celestion V30's and G12T-75's. The guitar I use is a BC Rich Warbeast NJ Deluxe that has EMG's in it. I play mostly Thrash metal and some down-tuned chugga-chugga stuff. I have to have a wah that really cuts through, and that sounds really meaty. Stock, that tone is almost impossible to achieve with this wah.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, I have to say that if you are the kind of person that is not comfortable modding guitar pedals, then stay away from the Dunlop GCB-95. On the other hand, if you love diving into pedals, soldering iron in hand, then this very well may be the Wah pedal for you. It has massive potential to sound awesome, and the mods for it are very simple to do.

I would definitely buy it again for the price I got it for. I mean honestly, I put about $40 into this pedal total ($20 for the pedal, $20 for mods) and it sounds amazing for quite a bit less than one of the more expensive Crybabys, and I had a great time modding it to boot.

This is a wah pedal. Nothing fancy, just a wah. Very simple. I bought the standard GCB-95 Crybaby. When I got mine, It had a red Fasel, not a Dunlop inductor in it. It has an input, output, and a 9v DC Plug, which is the standard Boss, center negative style.
This is NOT true-bypass, but it is very easy to make it true-bypass.

UTILIZATION

This is a very simple pedal to use. Plug it in, Turn it on, and rock away. No knobs or switches or sliders here, just click it on and turn into a Voodoo Child.
The manual is very clear about using it.
Nothing more to write here really.

SOUND QUALITY

This is where we meet at the crossroads with this pedal. It's a very shrill sounding wah. It benefits greatly from reindexing the pot, which takes 5 minutes and you can easily find out how to do it with a quick Google search. I did mine and it sounded much better. This is a GREAT platform to mod on. A few quick and easy mods can take this to a less than decent wah to a great wah.
Stock, it usually comes with the Dunlop inductor, but for some reason, mine came with the red Fasel inductor. It sounds decent at best. It;s very harsh and shrill, but as I said it can be taken care of with a quick reindex.
It is buffered bypass, and the buffer is NOT a good one. There is noticeable tone suck when using it. The True Bypass mod is very easy to do to it, but requires a new switch. If you're not willing to mod it, you may want to reconsider buying this pedal because stock, it leaves much to be desired.

OVERALL OPINION

This thing is VERY Shrill and Harsh stock. It is a great platform for modding, and some people may like it's level of shrillness, but not me. I reindexed the pot and have done a few mods (true bypass and increased the mids) and it sounds like a new pedal. If you're not in to modding, or don't like a shrill, harsh wah, then this is not the pedal for you.
I would have preferred a better buffer than the crap one dunlop threw in this thing. They could have also made it less shrill and throatier stock.
This is an on OK pedal all in all, but again, it's too shrill. It's a great platform for modding, as they can be found used for very cheap, but stock, there's many other great options.

Thanks in part to Hendrix and the like from the 60s, it's generally accepted that nearly every guitarist needs a wah pedal on his or her pedalboard. The Dunlop GCB-95 is to wah pedals as the TS808 is to overdrive pedals. Nearly every wah pedal out there is compared to this one, and once you use it, you can understand why. Housed in a nearly nuke-proof enclosure, the GCB-95 features the bare minimum of things you need to get started in your quest for the latest adult film soundtrack.

UTILIZATION

This is one of those pedals that'll withstand any abuse you throw at it. The main problem that ever goes wrong is that the pot goes scratchy/bad. Aside from that, there's not much that can go wrong. The recent revisions of this pedal are all surface mount components, so if you're looking to modify one, be sure you get an older model. Older models also had some different parts that many argue were better sounding than the current ones.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound of the GCB-95 is that of a typical wah pedal. It sounds like ... a wah. Stock, there is some decent tone suckage going on thanks to the buffered bypass. The most popular mod is to change out the stock switch with a DPDT or 3PDT one and make it true bypass. This mod is a must, IMO. There are also other voicing mods you can do, change out a few resistors for pots, adjust the sweep, add an LED and so on.

OVERALL OPINION

Those looking for a first wah, you're probably better off looking at the 535Q or one of the newer ones. This particular wah is starting to get a bit dated. However, if you find a non-surface mount component one and aren't afraid of modding, you can voice this mod to be more versatile than any of the boutique wahs out there. It'll sound just as good, or better, than some of the more expensive ones out there if you take your time to experiment with component values.

The GCB-95 is a bare bones wah. No Q control, bass control, treble control, level control, etc. It does have a modern 9VDC center negative adapter jack though.
The construction is pretty good for the price. Nice PCB, heavy duty enclosure, neat wiring, high quality parts/jacks/switch. Nothing really to complain about there.
The pedal is all analog using the classic inductor type wah circuit found in 90% of wahs out there.
Bypass is old style 'hard' bypass rather than true bypass. This results in the 'tone suck' (high end loss) that's common to pedals using this design. This can be fixed very easily if you have a soldering iron and a couple bucks though.
Unlike past years' models, the new Rev I GCB-95 comes with the red Fasel inductor found in some of Dunlop's higher end wahs. This is a noticeable and appreciated upgrade.
The battery door on the bottom is a nice touch.

UTILIZATION

Set up is very easy. Simply open the battery door and insert a battery or use the adapter jack and then put it in your signal path.
Since there really isn't anything to tweak, you're stuck with the one tone, for good or bad. This does make it idiot proof though and could be a welcome feature for some touring bands who want consistency and don't want to futz with knobs.
The feet do cause a problem with mounting the wah on pedalboards but simply removing them and the battery cover and applying velcro is a reasonable and cheap solution, though one of the popular mounting plates available from several sources is a more elegant (and costly) solution.

SOUND QUALITY

I use my Strats with both single coils and humbuckers with this running into my THD Flexi 50. The sweep is very smooth and it doesn't quack like many vintage styled wahs. Depending on what you play, this could be a deal breaker. I find the smoother sweep works better for high gain stuff while it lacks the familiar quack for funk and clean sounds.
The high end is a bit splatty with the treadle in the toe down position, however it is much improved over one I owned 5 or 6 years back. If the treble is turned up a bit high on my amp, it can sound very nasty and splatty but I tend to keep it rolled back so it's not a problem for me.
The low end is tighter than the last one I owned and works reasonably well with lots of distortion. Not as well as some other models, both from Dunlop and other companies, but it's passable for the price.
One major complaint I have is that it's prone to radio interference. This can be very bad during quieter moments and would be a definite deal breaker if I wasn't planning on modding it. It truly is awful.

OVERALL OPINION

The thing I like most is the build quality. I wouldn't worry at all about it failing under heavy use. If it ever did fail, repairs would be very easy due to a clean layout and the fact that it uses full sized components.
I absolutely hate how noisy it is. It's a definite deal breaker if you plan on using it without modding it. For home use at low volumes, it might be passable but it's definitely a no go for gigs, particularly those in noisy, interference prone parts of town.
The sound is consistent and I believe that for the price, it's the best wah you can get. The comparable Vox doesn't handle distortion nearly as well and the build quality leaves much to be desired.
I've tried dozens of other wahs and owned 5 or 6. I knew the GCB-95 wasn't the best of wahs but I was pleasantly surprised at how passable the tone was. The noise is definitely worse than any other wah I've owned though, especially when compared to my Teese RMC3.
I'd make the same choice again though because it's very easy to mod and the build quality is great. If I were to leave it stock, I'd probably save up some more money and get a Budda or a Teese.

A classic pedal wah, an ac input, output, power supply intake '.
Small anti-skid draping very useful sound like all the pedal!

UTILIZATION

Are not simple, it activates the wah enfonant to the end, it operates the pedal up and down, then click again to disable. Just need to know to operate in the pace Wah. It would have liked to base a true bypass and an LED, but it can be done even with a so-kit and instructions on the internet.

SOUND QUALITY

And although the sound is very good, sound basis of what wah, very expressive, deep, short, what wah! At least it's not a wah numrique, flat as can be found in other brands. It is a true ^ ^ Wah ca deep in clean, sweet. In disto, c expressive, aggressive, it rocks, it's enjoyable ^ ^ on the other hand damage the small ads that blast activation (I have not personally when she is disabled).
But basically, you can touch everything, funk, solo hard rock / metal, blues rock, and you can touch the Rage Against The Machine, etc. ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2008 is my first wah, least of CHRE Cry Baby, what basis. Well she is fulfilling his office, more than enough, especially for its price (when we see the signatures, it's cheap). I can not tell you if the signature models are really worth more than the BCG shot-95, you have to test dpend I think that the taste of everyone, but at least with this one is not over not be disappointed! The only comparison I have is my wah on my amp Line 6 FBV Shortboard contrlable via which is numrique, DC and less expressive, less "roots" that the cry baby.
Anyway qualitprix good value and I would do this choice, or else I would opt for the cry baby 535Q multiwah, featuring a knob to vary the range of the wah.
The presence of an LED does have a plus, and blast distortion can interfere sometimes. More mine squeaks by dint of use, but just put the fat when it knows where to put (a lot of parts involved in mcanisme!)

See review previous ones.
It is heavy and seems indestructible.
Once ground up, it does not move!

-2 For lack of bypass and the lack of led.

UTILIZATION

Very simple. It is trsractive; that said, for intensive use o activates and disables wah quickly throughout a piece, it is not Idale because you have all the same press hard enough on the switch and after a while it becomes difficult, if Prilleux.
Better to turn then into a bustling wah and disable bypassing the switch, such as Morley, for example.
Which is a shame, too, is that when the force is You Started the race since Frequencies Aiges, which sounded every beginner or note agreement Manir aggressive.

SOUND QUALITY

Faithful to its reputation, this wah is aptly named and is privilgier when paired saturation.
The beach is wide enough frequency drives, allowing her to go a very very loud sound smothered.
The lever n'tant not very important, it may be a bit delicately handle in the sense o it flies a sound one.
Saturated in it pleases me a lot but I find it far too noisy to clean, at least for the purpose I have with the current directory group.
To clean a more "smooth", he prfrera - which has repeatedly said t - a good old Vox.
on the other hand, if we play dirty rock in mind, it is perfect and pierces the mix wonderfully!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought thirteen years ago dj is my first "fact" for electric guitar (I played while on a Valvestate 8240 with distortion and chorus intgrs). I always use it in my arsenal of effects group with my current group, this must be 3 years that I use each RPTE and concert.
In the era, I do not know much at this stuff and I took too wah without asking any questions, all I wanted, too c'tait play a little Voodoo Child - )
Now, with the exprience, I do not know if I would do this choice because I do not find it versatile enough (relative to the directory pop-rock-electro-funk group) and not enough practice there is good amount of wah much more versatile and functional on the market try (Fulltone Clyde Deluxe, G-Lab Wowee Wah, RMC, Dunlop Multiwah, CAE MC-404, Vox Big Bad ,...).
Such a choice the era did not exist!
That said, I will keep living as she does, she does it well. In the future I think I will put on a pedalboard east blues-rock that I'm trying to be me.

Already described can not be simpler, since there is no knob to rotate in all directions to try to find a sound.
Goes very well with my Kustom Defender which has a volume control

Two points off for not always easy to operate (well mine is not very young so it just may be there)

SOUND QUALITY

Simply a very good wah.
I was looking for a wah wah for some time, and after a happy coincidence that I got it (gratos).

Used as it
Fender Tele - Digitech EX7 - Wah Wah - Palmer Preamp - Kustom Defender
I play mostly rock / metal, basically I wanted a wah to use the Adam Jones (Tool)

Both clean distortion that I like his sound.
Admittedly a little garish, but it does not bother me.
The effect is present, although progressive pedal (and no effect wwwwwaaaaaaahhhh wwwwwwwaahhhh).

A light breath after running, hit a small spot less.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few days, as the title says, this is a very good wah who did not want to waste time turning knobs to find her drinking.

I tried a few before this one: Ibanez WD7, distos multi effects ...

There is another world, she'll stay long on my PB

The pros: the sound, solid
The -: the breath after running, sometimes difficult to operate. A good wah
