The Slash Cry Baby Classic Wah is a custom-voiced wah pedal designed in collaboration with Slash, offering a raw, expressive sound with a wide sweep and a huge dynamic range. Featuring a custom-wound resonance inductor and a sturdy die-cast casing with custom artwork, it's built for both stage use and durability. This wah-wah pedal is inspired by the Cry Baby and is designed to deliver a unique and versatile tonal experience.
Throughout his career, Slash has used the Cry Baby to create his trademark epic solos that he weaves into his groundbreaking gritty, blues-influenced rock. We worked closely with him to design the Slash Cry Baby Classic, custom-voiced for the raw, expressive sound that influenced a generation of guitar players. Tuned to a lower frequency and featuring a custom-wound resonance inductor, this wah- wah has a huge dynamic range and a wide sweep. Two side-mounted blue LEDs indicate ON/OFF status, viewable from any angle onstage, so you can always tell when the effect is on. The Slash Cry Baby Classic also features high quality components, such as a true hardwire bypass switch and a long-life pot, and comes in housed in a heavy duty die-cast casing featuring custom Slash artwork and a distressed hot-rod paintjob.
Guitarists praised the Slash Cry Baby Classic Wah for its sturdy build, expressive sweep, and unique sound characteristics, with many preferring its tone over other wah pedals. Reviewers particularly liked its performance with both clean and high-gain signals, noting its harmonic distortion and balanced sweep. While some found the price a bit high, the majority of users were pleased with the pedal's sound quality, build, and the inclusion of features like true bypass and dual LEDs, though some mentioned it required some force to operate.
