Dunlop GCB-95

You know Wah is Wah , plug it before some distortion step on it and you get crying baby. Don't worry ,it's so strong you could never break if.

Sound great either clean and drive sound , It crying in front of my Amp. I can get pretty close to Voodoo Hendrix's wah and to modern sound of Vai's wah.

So strong. But for mine ,the top rubber is peel off ,I just glue them in again . No problem.

Don't know

WAH WAH GOT TEN.

you'll know it already. the pedals way is short but can be operated exactly.

this is why i am writing a review. several things could be done to mod it. i tried a few of them and mostly disliked the pumped sound and reset everything to original but - incorporated a 6-way rotary switch with capacitors like this: 2.2n, 4.7n, 10n (original), 22n (used by the jh-wah), 47n and finally 68n (the bass-wah). especially used with a fuzz (three-knob colorsound tone bender) or athe tube screamer in front of it i was very pleased. the not recommended smaller capacitor values are going to make me feel, too. those bite!

wonder why this thing sells for such less money.. ah - i know. the pot might be renewed once and this is to pay later on.

no idea.

a 9 cause it should be used as a volume pedal, too. i tried it by switching the 4.7uF capacitor and it was quite well, but a little volume was remaining though. hey - i didn??t wanted to peplace the switch..

its very easy to use. and is easy to turn on thank god.

this can get the sound from Jimmie Hendrix to Kurt Cobain it is not noisy at all and the wah wah is just amazing but the bass is nothing special im using this through a orange crush 30r amp and a X400 Washburn and it sounds great.

very dependable and i would use it on a gig any time.

THE BEST WAH WAH out there i play mostly rock lots of guns n roses and Hendrix and this fits in with every band. pick one up if possible.

Just plug your guitar, make sure it's powered by a fresh battery or power supply adaptoe and your all set...how hard can it be?
you can chain it in your rig as the first stomp box...

it won't be named the classic/legendary wah for nothing...
i'm using a les paul type guitar, i mean 'type' cause it has different brand name but has the same les paul features...through a GT6 multi-fx and boom!!!
the GT6 wah is good but i'm really looking for that vintage feel...and the way you can stand on this wah w/o worrying of breaking it...w/ the GT6, i feel like breaking it whenever i step to engage the wah...
it isn't noisy at all, and the sound is transparent...if your hearing differently, pick-ups and type of of guitar do really affect the overall sound...

this is one feature that makes this stomp a legend...you can stand on it w/ the weight of your whole body and you won't break this little gem...add to this the legendary wah sound...
basically indestructible and road worthy!!!

never needed one...

i play rock and alternative (GNR, GIN Blossoms, Dishwalla, Collective Soul, Goo Goo Dolls, etc) and have been playing for 10 years (on and off)...i used to own a Boss SD2, DD3, PSM5, LS2, BD2, GE7, ME30 and they're all great...right now i'm using s Boss GT6 + GCB95 + Dame Guitar setup..if it were stolen i definitely would still buy another one because it's an integral part of my setup...just can't do without it...
i love it's tough metal design, the classic wah sound and ease of use...i wouldnt want any other feature...i tried the fuzz wah version, but i was not using the fuzz effect, just the wah...
you can create songs w/ it or enhance a composition...just be creative w/ it and know it's capability and limitations....
for those who feel that this is crappy soung or it's too thin or for any reason at all, check your setup, your gear...coz if it's not the sound you expected or wanted to hear, maybe your looking for a different wah...then try the other wahs available in the market...

As long as if you were born to have a foot it shoudn't be that difficult.

It's a pretty average sounding type of wah the high end is a little bit thin but not quite as bad as the bad horsie wah.Its at least good enough to be considered to call itself a wah pedal it'll put a little fire into your solos with the toe down posistion for that bright cut.

i once used this pedal at band pratice never a gig considering that it stopped working after 1 or 2 months after i bought it.Unfortunately i couldn't return it i lost the receipt so i ended up fixing the wah myself somehow.I opened up the back adjust the screws put the tone pot back on track to hear the full wah effect.The only diffrence is now i have to slam my foot on the pedal it doesnt click at all.It only clicks when i press the effect off so this particular pedal isnt manufactured that good but i still have it even though i got to tightened up the mechanical parts every now and then.

I prefer the hendrix and dime dunlop wahs over this one.The hendrix has more/better bass range which adds extra character to the wah effect and the dime with it's 535Q circuitry to extend the sweep from lows,lows to high'highs and everything in between.But whats great about the crybaby is that you can make adjustments to improve or alter your sound. With the gcb-95 i twist the tone pots just a little bit to take some of the excessive highs off for a more heavy bluesy type of rock feel.

It's very simple to use this pedal: you step on it to turn it on and step again to turn it off, really easy.

This pedal has a awesome tone, I'm surprised! I use it through a Yamaha Pacifica(Strat like), a Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion and a Meteoro Thor Plus(a brazilian amp). I can get any kind of wah sound I want, from Hendrix to Joe Satriani, and everything in between, it's also very good for rhythm stuff(funk, reggae, etc.). The only complaint is that it gives a little saturation when you play it clean, but this is not a problem. Very good sound, period.

I totally depend on it, I don't think I nedd a backup for this pedal, it's very well built, it's pretty heavy though.

I'm a professional musician, play all styles of music, and this pedal gives me everything I need when it comes to wah sounds, I recommend it to everyone, really good pedal.

The most easy pedal one can find

Just step on and wild your tone.

It's just gcb-95 tone.

Like it or not.

Rock and metal as I play, i use this pedal for the best tone and control.

Well-built as a tank.

cheap but best

Very simple to use. Press it on and move the thing up and down and you'll get the effect, press again and it will bypass the signal. I bought it new, and I found out that it comes with no manual. I mean, you don't need one (since everything is very simple) but it would be nice to have one. This model was upgraded some time ago and now you don't have to remove the whole base in order to change the baterry. Now you just have to open the battery little door.1

It is my first wah pedal, so I don't have much experience with others. I really think that there are better wah pedals, but this one works fine for me, at least for know. The effect in general is fine. If it is turned off, it doesn't bother, but if you turn it on and leave it, and then you start playing, you'll find out that it makes some humming. The humm will be different, depending on the position of the pedal. My setup is: Epiphone Les Paul Special II >> Wha pedal >> Laney LG35R.

Let's make something clear: this pedal is a tank. You won't break it, you won't wear it. The fact that I'm not 100% happy with the sound or the humming is another thing. This is not a wah pedal for studio recording, but for a gig is all you need. If you are in a quiet room you'll hear the little humming but in a gig, all the little humming gets lost. So yes, I can depend on it, and I would gig with it without backup.

Never dealt with them.

I play rock and some blues. It is a good wah pedal for jumming around. If it were stolen or lost I'd try something different. I love the quality of the pedal, it is very dependable, it look like you won't be able to break it. I hate that buzz that appears when you turn it on, but it is not a big problem i guess.

pretty easy to use. press it all the way down hard to turn it on. works like a gas pedal.

i cant say it sounds bad, but...it lacks character! i mean, the sweep needs to be much wider on this model. i want one that will scream like a banchee, something hendrix' dirty!

the potentiometer was in good shape, and did not squeek while using the pedal, unlike the wah i had about 15 years ago.

the effect is almost non-existent with other effects turned on.

do i need to get the hendrix crybaby? i like the sound of the dano-trip-L-wah better! i wanted a change from that one, because it was so hard to switch on and off while playing real time. suggestions? email me: framexframe@verizon.net

it is built like a tank! i opened up the bottom, and everything is accessible. just remove the 4 rubber feet, and there you go!

when i opened it up, it reminded me of a computer motherboard! lol. i mean, there is a ribbon now, that goes from the PC board to the potentiometer. the "wah" coil (what is that part called?) is removed with a nut driver, all pretty organized and straight forward. i think dunlop got wise to the fact that people do work on these things! and there is a growing vogue to mod pedals!

here is what i wish it had: the components numbered like the mxr pedals (R-28, etc), a trim pot would be cool. i wish there was a way to adjust the sweep, without doing brain surgery, because this model sure needs it!

never dealt with it.

a luke warm review. not bad, not good. the worst kind of review, really. but, this is a lukewarm pedal. it lacks personality.

if anybody knows of a cool mod to do to it, let me know. email me. or, should i just sell it on ebay, and go for a better model?

it sounds like a good plain wha on a clean tone. It responds differently to different distorions, so on some distortions it will seem really crappy. the problem I have is that it starts to get scratchy sounding after a year or so so you have to get 'contact cleaner' and spray that on the inside and mash the switch a bit. and after 2 or so years it strts to squeek as you rock it back and forth, so you have to get some lithium grease and put some on the spots where its squeeking and rock it back and forth a bunch to get it all lubed up.

the wha on this is very good for heavy metal, blues and such. I use >>>Epiphone 60 DSP-->dunlop crybaby-->dunlop rotovibe-->digitech Grunge-->Boss SD-1----->Fender standard stratocaster. A way to get extra sweep range is to remove the little rubber circles on the back(NOT on front). The wah is very deep and creamy, you just have to setup your tone. People say that its crappy sounding tonewise, but its all about the guitars tone, and amps tone.

i would definetly rely on this product for gigs because its so useful and no "tonesuck" that people blab about.

i got all my maintenence tips from local guitar shops

i play rock, blues, phsycadelic hendrix, some metal and other stuff. lets just say if it were stolen i would get the 535Q crybaby because of its fasel inductor and versatality knob.I have been playing for 3-3 1/2 years. it doesnt help me make music but sometimes i use it to make very cool solos.
