Dunlop GCB-95

Very easy to use. just push foward on the pedel and go nuts! I'd give it a ten, but the switch is pritty hard to click. Especially when your sitting down. nothing I can't live with. smooth motion back and fourth too. it could be easier to move, but you get used to it.

I own a gibson les paul and a small marshall 15 watt amp. this wah has a great, strong, pronounced effect. It says the effect becomes less when used with distortion. I would have to agree, but i usually use overdrive for nice lead tones, which isnt as harsh. it doesnt seem to lessen when I turn the amp up. this pedel takes away some of your tone when not in use. otherwise I'd give it a ten. its hard to notice when on a clean channel, but when you get a little dirty, its noticable. its worth it, though, once you click it on and hear that crybaby sound. they have so called 'better' models out there with bells and whistles that cost an arm and a leg, but if you just want a 'wah' effect, this is the way to go. try the Vox original wah wah and compare. I liked the crybaby because it had a more pronounced wah. it sounded much better for stuff like 'Dazed and Confused' and 'No Quarter' by Led Zeppelin. Also for lead work. it really enhances your tone when in use.

judging from the metal chassis, this pedel is reliable. definately made for mre than everyday playing and gigs. i throw it around all the time. one problem though, this thing weighs a ton! (just in case you feel like tossing it around) theres no way your gonna ever break the circuit board inside.unless maybe you have your cables connected. on the older models the inputs were separate from the circuit board. in the new ones, the inputs go directly into the board. i guess they never thought of that over at dunlop. without a doubt, reliable. the only real problem; the pot. it's the first(and only) thing to go. on any wah, for that matter. you cant avoid it, but they do last for a very long time. I had bought a used crybaby(same model) a year ago.(not a good idea) the pedel was in good shape. just a few nicks and scraches. it looked to be at least 10 yrs old. the problem was the pot. it was scrachy, and soon died on me. otherwise, it was a great sounding pedel. I had to by another one. couldnt live wothout one.

i enjoy playing 60's, 70's rock and when i need a wah(or just feel like puting one in) it does its job and it does it well. I've only been playing for 2 yrs now (just in case your looking for any credibility) but let me say this; if your looking for a wah wah, you CANT go wrong woth this pedel. check it out for yourself. If it were lost or stolen i'd buy it again. as soon as i could get 80 bucks, of course. its expensive, but dont buy them used. like I said, the pedel lasts, but the pot has its limits. i was much more comfortable knowing that i had a new pot. It would be nice if this pedel had a clear bypass, but otherwise it's a great pedel.

Its a regular wah..Heel down is bypass, toe down tone goes up. But if u use a battery then its hard to acces it, u got to unscrew the bottom.

Sound is good, like a regular wah.. I havent really tryed out any other once, this is my first one, but its sounds really good. The efferct is not noicy in hte heel doewn position, but toe down there is a little noise, probably cuz of my pickups. U basically get the sound of Jimi, Clapton,...etc
the only thing i dont really like is the range is not as big as i thought it would be, but its fine.

Its really heavy and very well built...Will last for ages...would defentaly use it at a gig.

Good pedal.. Although this is my first wah, and i didnt try any other once, i love it. Its so great, wahs are great, i love em. And this is the standard by which others are judged.

Man, This pedal is wicked simple. My 5 year old bro could work it. It's easy to get some funky grooves going on, that's what's so great about it. The only thing is that it's a pain to switch on and off. If they ever come out with another modle i'd have a switch not under teh pedal. The manual is ok. I think it's main purpose is to seel you stuff rather than to show you how to use this thing. Though Come on it is rather explanitoy. Pedal... put your... foot on it........and go SPASTIC!!!!

I can get some Wicked sounds outa dis baby. I'm using a strat clone and a peavy audition amp. I have only one other pedal and that is my DOD Americal Metal (FX 56). I put the Wah first in line. I think it sounds just a little bit better this way. It keeps the distortion sound more so than the other way 'round. Sometimes it buzzes but that's becuz i think i have a bad wire. Those are always goin on me. I can get some funky sounds too like Hendrix. I played that RATM song (can't remeber the name) and i think my version sounded even better.

I'm sure i could depend upon it. By the looks of it, it'll out live me. Things Made out of metal usually last for a good amount of time. I dont' really gig much, but i'll definetly show it off to my friends when we jam. I won't have to worry bout batteries cuz i bought a powa supply. The only thing i'm a little worried about is if i'll ever have to grease it.

I have yet to deal with Dunlop, for i just recieved the beautiful machinery today. Besides, dealing with customer support reps is for da birds.

Man, i give it "3 snaps in a circle". It's just a great pedal. When i first started playing it, it was liek i unleashed a beast. I went wild on it and it reacted quite nicely. I play lotsa stuff. i dig stuff liek Metal, hardcore, classic rock, punk and blues. One band i'd liek to learn some songs from for this pedal is Fu-Manchu. They know how to use a wah. If it got stolen, i'd seek out teh person who stole it and/or definetly buy a new one. i've only been playing a year and a half or so, but i think i recognize some kickin sounds when i hear em. I'm gonna be using this pedal alot from now on. Try to fit it into any new creations or even spice up some old songs(lord knows that's what i've been doin). My favorite part is where you can make it sound liek teh guitar is playing backwards. it's so trippy!

Damn easy to use...push the toe down and its on, push the toe down again and its off.

I play a Tex-Mex Strat through a Peavy amp and it sounds great. My only gripe is that it loses some of the wah sound when I turn the distortion channel on.

If I couldn't depend on it, why would I buy it?

Never dealt with Dunlop, but there isn't much to one. I don't know anything about the internal workings of a wah wah pedal, but I feel that I could repair it if I had to.

I play classic rock: Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc... I works great for what I use it for.

Easy, just plug and rock your foot up and down, and you'll get that bad ass wah sound.

I use an Ibanez 1998 RG170 model with a crappy practice amp. It's not noisy at all unless you add a distortion pedal after it. Man, this thing really rocks!! If you're looking for a good wah, get this one! the rest of the wahs just want to copy it. You can get that sound off of Carlos Santana's song,"Hope you're feeling better", but this wah is better than the wah in that song! Third Eye Blind uses this wah too. I use a DOD FX-50B with this wah(I place the wah before the FX-55B)and it sounds great with distortion! Especially with a clean sound. Just don't use heavy distortion, like the Boss hyper metal and the Metal zone 'cause it will mess up your crybaby. This thing even catches radio stations, I once heard these guys talking in a CB radio

You could defenetly rely on this thing, it's like a metal brick! I would use it a gig! just don't use it around where water or any other liquid would hit it.

never dealt with them

I play Alternative rock, hard rock, and Classical rock, this thing works more with classical rock. If it were stolen, I would defenetly go out and buy it again. This thing obeys your foot, move your foot fast, it'll do a fast wah, move your foot slow, you'll make a slow wah. One more thing, ALWAYS PLACE THE WAH BEFORE ANY EFFECT! I've noticed that.

REALLY easy to use, just step on the thing, and move your foot back and forth, no controls to mess around with. The manual is ok, tells you how to operate the thing and change the battery and all that stuff. These things have not been upgraded, exccept for the AC adaptor connector, I think

I use the pedal with a 1998 Ibanez RG170 guitar. It's kinda noisy when you add another effect after with the distortion high, but if you use it alone, it's quiet, and like I said, it has no controls. The sound is AWESOME, this wah is it! It sounds very much alike to Carlos Santana's,"I hope you're feeling better." I use it with a DOD FX-55B and ALWAYS connect it AFTER the crybaby. It sound pretty darn good with the FX-55's distortion all the way up, but it sound better clean.

I use equipment, not abuse. I can very much depend on it with my uses, but if you go out and gig on some place where they spill beer and all that stuff, it'll probably wouldn't survive. If you abuse equipment, I recommend you to get a backup, but if you're the kind of person who kinda abuses stuff, I guess you won't need a backup. Remember, this thing is like a big metal brick.

I play alternative rock and classical rock, this pedal works better with classical rock. I've been playing for 4 years and I own a DOD Fx-55b and 55. If this thing were stolen, I would defently buy it again. My favorite feature about it is the way you can chhange it's effect, like for example, if you rock it slow, it'll make a slow WAH sound, and if you rock it fast, it'll make a fast WAH sound. I compare it with ALL the wahs out there, everyone just wants to cpoy its sound! I wish I had a digital delay with this pedal. One more thing, ALWAYS connect an effect AFTER the crybaby, unless you want to REALLY kill your sound.

Very easy to use. No controls except expression pedal. Toe down = treble, toe up=bass. Not easy to turn on-off. Good sounds are easy, with distortion it gives you great rock/metal effect, without distortion it gives you classic funk sound. Manual is pretty light, but explains everything.

Good with MT-2 (Metal Zone) or pretty much any fuzz/distortion. I am using a Samick strat copy with a Samick 10 watt buzzbox, and there is no noise, even with wah and distortion on. Effect always is good, although bass is kinda hard to hear sometimes, especially with distortion off. Good Hendrix/Clapton sounds, and pretty much any other rock guitarist. Also Satriani.

I've only had it two days, but it is like a brick with a pedal on top. I don't stomp the shit out of it, so I'd use it without a backup (I couldn't afford one anyway)

Never dealt with Dunlop

I play mostly Thrash stuff, but also psychadelic stuff and it suits my sound fine. I also own a MT-2 Metal Zone. If it was stolen or lost, I'd kill myself because I can't pay for a new one. I chose it over the Mr. Crybaby, the VOX and Morely wahs because of the price. BUY IT BUY IT BUYIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Got to stand when turnin' it on. Other wise you just stomp out the rythym. Get them outta rythym stuff takes practice though. wish the manul would give more tips.

I use a trash strat droid (synsonics?) a boss super overdrive and a peavey classic chorus 212 amp. This pedal makes you crazy, youstart plain guitar with your foot now. The tone inspires that 70's stuff I guess. I just went wild over it. if you put it thru the fx loop u get a volume boost great for solos. I place it every where in my small chain but I find it's best in the fx loop.

looks like it could take a 20 pound hammer, but if only had it for four months.

not needed

I find it's awsome for soloing but tyring for rythym. I'd buy it again in a flash. It creates a whole new creative level. I wish there were multiple tones and an automatic wah like my friends korg. If I had the money I'd get the Korg multi wah for rythym and the crybaby with the torres mod, for lead and ron them thyrough the fx loop. Imagine Two awesome wahs

My 2 year old can operate it. Her rhythm needs a little work though!

Not too bad but I haven't used any other wah to compare it to. The main problem I have is with the noisy pot. And it seems to cut the signal from the instrument quite a bit even with the pedal turned off. Another (seemingly common) problem is with the on/off switch. It was very hard to switch when I first got the pedal but the good thing is that it is very easy to fix. The button can be raised by adjusting the nut that hold the switch in place on the inside of the pedal. This saves you from having to jump up and down on the thing to turn it on or off.

Mine is currently broken. It sat unused in my semi-humid basement for about a year. I decided to mess with it last week and its now dead.

Never called.

The wah effect is a great way to add emotion to your riffs. I will probably try to get this one fixed. If it is not fixable I will shop other products and read more reviews before buying another crybaby.

wah pedal, need more explanation? although it is kind of a pain to take the whole thing apart to change the battery.(espically, if your in a hurry, like mid-show, and the singer has to ramble on so you can change it!)

i just wanted to say that, on bypass, this thing sucks your treble away!, and if you leave it on, with the pedal pushed foward, it will pick up radio stations!maybe mine is just one of those "strange" ones of the bunch.besides that, sounds great, the wah that has made music history.maybe not the best, but good sound for the price.

these things are a huge chunk of metal, just baby that pot, and it should never quit.i want to buy broken ones cheap. and rewire them to be expression pedals for all my gear, because i know they will never break.

i think it is a good value for the sound.just be prepared to crank all your treble up on eq's after it.i need to rewire it for true bypass, just havent got around to it.they might have fixed this with the newer ones, though. i got this through a trade, and it is all beat up, rubber stuff all ripped of, scratched up, but it works well.
