The Jim Dunlop Cry Baby Q Zone is a fixed wah pedal that delivers the vocal, resonant tones of a Cry Baby Wah in a standard stompbox format. It features adjustable Volume and Q Zone controls for shaping the effect's sound, along with a Peak control to set the frequency center. This pedal offers the desired wah tones without the need to constantly adjust the rocker. Compared to the Cry Baby 95Q Wah, it allows for a stationary position and is less susceptible to accidental adjustments.
Guitarists praised the Jim Dunlop Cry Baby Q Zone, specifically highlighting its ability to emulate the iconic tone of Slash from the Use Your Illusion albums, particularly when paired with a Gibson Les Paul and Marshall amplifier setup.
