Dunlop Clyde McCoy Cry Baby Wah

The Clyde McCoy by Cry Baby Wah Wah is a tribute to the first production wah wah ever made. This modernized classic captures the throaty voice and expressive sweep of the original even as offering gigging players the consistency and convenience they need on the road. As heirs to the wah wah lineage and guardians of its legacy, Dunlop drew from decades of wah wah design and building experience to make certain that the CM95 faithfully represents the tone and spirit of the first actual wah wah. Years ago, we inherited the original tooling and machinery used to design and manufacture the first Clyde McCoy pedals from the Thomas Organ Company and Jen Electronica. Combining these resources with our own 30+ years of experience developing and manufacturing wah wahs allowed us to create the most fitting tribute to the original Clyde McCoy Wah Wah. A very powerful element of any wah wah pedal is its voice. The Thomas Organ Company and Jen Electronica used a special component referred to as a Halo inductor to give the original Clyde McCoy pedals their highly-coveted smooth vocal quality. On account of the way those original Halo inductors were built, then again, they continuously added undesirable microphonic noise. Our engineers created the Dunlop HI01 Halo Inductor to solve this problem, updating the original design with a stabilized cup core to preserve the unique Clyde McCoy sound even as minimizing unpleasant microphonics. The remainder of the CM95’s circuitry is just as faithful to its forebear, featuring thru-hole components built into a classic housing with a premium pot, switch, and jacks. Now, you’ll be able to take the classic Clyde McCoy sound out on the road and leave your vintage wah wah safely at home.
