Dunlop GCB-95

EVERYONE can use this thing. Click on it and it works.... i got the hang of it inmediatly

I use a Epiphone les paul standart with a fender frontman... I use the overdrive thats on the amp. That all plus the crybaby. Its simple and it sounds %&$#in AWESOME!! The Crybaby is defenatly the best Wah around... The only disadvantage is that you cant hear the wah on the really high notes. But its still the freakin best

You can build a house on it... its unbreakable. Yeah i use it without backup. No need for it

The pedal is so good i never had to deal with that......

I play everything... From Heavy metal to trash punk. This is the best invention there is. If it got stolen i would buy a new one again again and again. I've considerd a morley wah volume wah too, but i've read here this one was better... and it is. It makes me sound 100 times better. Too bad it doesnt work that well on a bassguitar....

Foot rocks forward...click....thats about it.
When i turn the unit off, if i leave the toe all the way down it wont turn back on again until i pull the pedal back a little bit and forward again...so ive just had to remember to give the thing a little pull towards the heel when i step it off.

my setup: 98' PRS Ce-22 -- Crybaby -- DoD Flanger -- DoD Phaser -- Boss RV-3 -- Marshall G100RCD -- 2x10" Celesion Vintage 10. I use amp distortion and reverb as well. When I have my gain cranked on channel 2 this thing screams. It add a really raw feedbacky feel that ive come to love. When im running a very clean channel it doesnt have enough presence in the signal but I just stick a bit of reverb on it and it thickens up.

The only thing i dont like (it doesnt bother me enough to call it a "problem") is that sometimes when i click the unit on or off the signal can cut for a second if i leave the pedal all the way on the toe. I'm sure if i took it in to get cleaned out it would fix the problem but thus far i havent bothered.

Never talked to them. I'm sure they're very nice people

I play a fair load of everything with exception to the material put out by individuals who claim to be "artists" or "performers" as opposed to real musicians. This unit does have many options (it doesnt have really any options...) and cant be made to make every kind of sound you can get out of newer digital units, but it does add a beautiful analog aspect to your rig. Either way, I believe that a guitarist doesnt need a completely different sounding effect to make something different, your playing should be the source of unique...ness(?)

yep, to master a wah youve gotta listen to Yngwie Malmsteen!

i use a malmsteen strat, marshall 900 50 w heads, i run this with a few other boss pedals and it seems to add the smallest bit of vintage bass sound when bypassed, i just love the vintage sound this thing gived off!
vox wahs are now out of production but that was the only other competition as far as im concerned, you just cant go past this baby!
its also adjustable too, you can adjust the pot or the footswitch

you can depend on it

you shop should support you.... even if you are an asshole about it!

i play hot licks, and im currently doing the cover band thang,
JUST BLOODY GET ONE!

what are you still doing sitting there?

This pedal totally rocks. The manual explains everything in like 3 sentences. But ya know, whats to explain. If u cant work this wah then somethings seriously wrong.

First of all. Make sure the crybaby is first in your chain. If there is anything before it ull notice a volume drop when u rock back. No its not Noisy. Maybe the ppl who says its noisy should get the rest of their equipment checked. I use this to achieve my style of playing (think slash). It works nearly perfect. oh yea I run t his 10 ft cable from guitar to wah, 10 ft from wah to distorition (boss ds1), and 10 ft from distortion to amp. Thats 30 feet of cables and no tonal or signal loss so dont be worried about that.

Its not built like a "tank" but it is quite sturdy feeling. It has a much more professional feel than my other wah did. This pedal wont let you down.

never dealt with them

Overall this pedal totally rocks. If u play hard rock and metal and want something that will absolutely scream for your solos then go out right now and get this pedal

It is really easy to use, but to put it on/off it is really hard!
Believe me, you have to concentrate all your weight on the top of the wah and then press, that's the only way to make the switch work! Don't even thing on making it work while you're not standing. And the first time you have to put it on/off it's not a good sensation to press with all your force on your new wah, you may feel like braking it.

There's a nice manual explaining how to setup your wah.

This is my setup: GUITAR (Yamaha RGX121s) > WAH > OVERDRIVE (BOSS SD1) > AMP (Fender Frontman 15G).

It gets noisy when i put the gain at 10, but normally, with amp gain at 6/7 and the Overdrive on it, it sounds great! Pressing on the top make a very screaming sound! And it also gives some boost to the gain.

Mine it's new, so I cannot know if it is strong as a tank as someone says. The lower part, a light metallic surface, looks a bit weak and too sharp. However, it's hard to hit that because it is at 1 finger from the ground.

Never needed.

I play a lot of metal (Death, At The Gates...) and this wah is pretty good for it. I've been playing for a year, and if i have it stolen or lost, i may buy the Jimi Hendrix one...I think it has a "bigger" sound. But don't think the GCB95 isn't good! We're talking about professional wah's, and I just love it.

Just step the pedal and play.

My setup: <Epiphone LP CustomPlus> => <GCB95 Wah> => <Guv'Nor Plus> => <Digitech RP50 (used as noise gate/delays/revrbs/chorus)> => <Amp>

It gives to me an excelent hard rock sound. I tried several configs but this really give me the best results.

The Clean sounds are very good for reggae/funk, and with a powerful distorsion you can reach the 80's metal sounds.
Note: I get no noise with my config.

I guess the chassis is like a tank but I'm not so sure about the pot mechanism. I've never problems but I give an 8

I mainly play hard rock stuff like G'n'R, classic rock like LedZep, DeepPurple. I play guitar for 5 years and the gcb95 fits perfectly my guitar sound. If it were stolen or lost I guess I'll buy another one.

yeah real easy!

People who said it's noisy, of course it's analog! when you use it, you don't hear any bad noise!

First time I heard a bad reliability problem with that ''tank'' yes it's a tank , so poor bad-lucked guy, sorry, maybe the guy who made your pedal had a real bad night...

No need to call them

First of all, guys who say it ''sucks'' and tell having a serie of 5 different fuzz, chorus and delay pedals, ya right it sucks! this pedal must be played direct right through a good tube -amp to get it at it's best, doesn't mix well with other effects, make a loop for cry baby and keep your other effects in line or at least put crybaby first, for those who say this pedal doesn't much sweep, I tried an original Colorsound, that sweeps too much! and no bass-bottom at all... after all , it's a matter of taste, You like it or not, for me it's the best I love it!

Really easy to use, except for the fact that you must step really hard on the pedal to turn the switch on/off

Whatever...

this pedal sounds like crap period. I haven't tried many whas but this one sounds dirty, crappy and trebly, even offensive to my ears. The sound you get from this thing comes from too muddy and undefined to a way too-trebly sound... but you never get the mid-sound you expect.

I own a good amount of pedals and I put different chains of them from gig to gig. I use a Boss CS-3, RAT, Big Muff, Nobels ODR-1, Rocktech analog delay, Nobels TR-X... and I have removed the GCB-95 from the chain definately. It sucks tone severely and it sounds really bad with other effects. It also destroys ths sound of my jazzmaster.

I guess this is the only good thing about this pedal

I've been playing guitar for 10 years now, my sound style is similar to bands like radiohead, the cure, jeff buckley, luna... sweet atmospheric crunch and a bit of fuzz... the crybaby never fits this It never sounds sweet, it changes the tone of my jazzmaster/peavey classic 30 so much that it gets really unpleasant.

You'll think I don't like this pedal because whas are not my style, but I also play some hendrix stuff and this pedal still sounds awful. I'm trying to sell it right now, and if it were stolen I guess I wouldn't be very sad about it.

simple. actually has a better switch than i thought.

this is terrible. i don't know what the #$(*#&$#(* is wrong with this, it has such a poor sweep range. absolutely no balls on the bass end of it... i just got this thing and it's out of here. i've got other wah pedals and this one just sucks.

it's older, used, but tough. no issues with pot scratchiness typical of crybabys. i still have to give it a 7 due to experience with these products in the past...

you got to be kidding?

doesnt work for me. i've had these in the past. just got it in. it's out the door/ on the trade block right now. absolutely no bass end to it. my morley bad horsie that's beat to hell kills this thing. my vox ri kills it as well.maybe just got a bad one...

i've had all kinds of gear. too much to list. this thing is out the door as quick as possible. trust me, its not a functional issues. just doesn't cut it for my useage...

Easy to use as abc , but the switch is a bit hard to put on (anyway, mine is always on).

This pedal gives me total expression, either I rock it with clean tone to get funky early 70s tone or get amazing harmonic sustain completely out of space with overdriven tones, the ''sweetspot'' that make it scream is easy to find (in the middle), you control it like if it was a part of yourself. wow!

Like others said ''built like a tank'' run your Hummer over it and it will work like before.

No need to contact them.

When I was looking for a ''wha'' the store had a lot of models, the salesman told me ''there's two good ''wha'' on the market, the crybaby and the vox, I tried both and they sound about the same (maybe a bit more ''mid'' with vox), the vox was $50 more because of chrome on it I guess, I bought the cry-baby and I am very happy and have a lot of fun with since.
