Dunlop Releases the Justin Chancellor Cry Baby Wah

Dunlop Releases the Justin Chancellor Cry Baby Wah

Dunlop continues its well-established tradition of artist collaborations with the Justin Chancellor Cry Baby Wah, a multi-tool of sonic craftsmanship.


The product of close collaboration between Justin and the Cry Baby design team, the pedal is as multi-dimensional as the player, combining the fluid expressiveness of a custom midrange filter, the bright aggression of a custom wah circuit, and the chainsaw grind of a vintage fuzz.

The midrange filter, based on the tone circuit in Justin's own bass, and the wah circuit, based on a modified Cry Baby Wah, are switchable and operated via the pedal's rocker, which ensures low-end integrity by blending your clean bass signal into the beginning of the sweep. The fuzz mode can be used by itself or with either of the rocker modes to create everything from smooth, synth-like tones to wild electric fire.

With so many different sonic configurations on offer, the Justin Chancellor Cry Baby Wah is a must-have for tonecrafting bass players.

Highlights

  • Combines three of Justin Chancellor's epic effects into a single pedal
  • U.K. Filter mode, inspired by his bass' tone circuit, sounds thick and voice-like
  • Modified Cry Baby Wah mode sounds lush and aggressive
  • Vintage U.K.-style fuzz that can be paired with either mode or operated independently
  • Customize the two rocker modes with Volume and Q controls
  • Customize intensity, level, and EQ of fuzz mode
  • Includes optional Pedal Topper for simultaneous engagement of rocker and fuzz modes

The Justin Chancellor Cry Baby Wah ships November 19, 2021 and is now available for pre-order at $299.99 from retailers worldwide.

EHX’s most powerful polyphonic octave generator yet offers guitarists, sound designers, and experimental musicians an endless maze of pitch-shifted effects to explore.

It’s been a very rainy, moody couple of weeks, which is to say, perfect weather for getting lost in the labyrinthine depths of the new Electro-Harmonix POG III polyphonic octave generator. The POG III is yet another evolution (mutation?) within EHX’s now rather expansive stable of octave effects. But to those who know the POG through its original incarnation, or one of several simpler subsequent variants, the POG III represents a pretty dramatic leap forward.

This story’s author played this Belltone B-Classic 3 and found its neck instantly appealing, the tremolo capable of taking abuse and staying in tune, and the Filter’Tron pickups possessed of hi-fi clarity. Also, the sky burst metallic finish is pure eye candy.

Custom designing an instrument and its appointments from a menu of options makes ordering a new axe easy. Four manufacturers share their process.

It’s never been easier for any player to get a guitar made to their liking, and without being an expert, or even an educated amateur in wood, wiring, and other aspects of lutherie. Sure, you can find a builder who will spec out a guitar for you from tree to neck radius to electronics, but for most of us, we’re looking for something easier, less costly, and, often, more familiar.
