Mick Ronson Cry Baby Wah: The Sound of a Visionary
The first highlight of the new Dunlop releases is the Mick Ronson Cry Baby Wah, a pedal that captures the lively and melodic style of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most influential songwriters. Known for his collaborations with David Bowie and many others, Ronson used the Cry Baby Wah to shape his unique sound. Dunlop engineers took a close look at Ronson’s personal wah pedal, an Italian model with vintage parts, and precisely recreated its beautifully balanced sound. The result is a bright, clear wah that stays musically smooth and encourages the expression that makes Ronson’s music so distinctive.
Kirk Hammett Cry Baby Wah
Another eye-catching model is the Kirk Hammett Cry Baby Wah. This limited edition wah features a bright yellow glitter finish and perfectly accentuates the metal guitarist’s signature wah sounds. It is based on Hammett’s personal rack wah settings that embody the aggressive and melodic style for which he is known. Offering smooth heel-to-toe playability, the pedal produces a mesmerizing midrange wah sound with a powerful top end – ideal for fast, melodic runs that blend seamlessly with hard riffs.
Sepultura 40th Anniversary Cry Baby
The final pedal in the series is the Cry Baby Wah, developed in collaboration with Andreas Kisser, the band’s wah-wah master, to commemorate Sepultura’s 40th anniversary and farewell tour. Used on hits such as “Resist/Refuse” and “Roots Bloody Roots,” this limited edition model is an essential part of the band’s signature sound. It provides the tone and flexibility needed for Kisser’s innovative and energetic style.
Conclusion
The new Cry Babies from Dunlop look great again and make sure that the enthusiasm for wah pedals will never go away. The different Signature models sound individually different, so you can choose according to your personal preferences. As soon as the pedals are available, we will let you know here at Gearnews.
