If you’ve ever felt your Cry Baby doesn’t quite scream ‘Cry Baby’ enough, Dunlop has just the wah pedal for you, as it launches two special-edition versions of its Cry Baby Junior Wah.

Bigging up the company’s iconic ‘wave’ logo by sticking it on the tread and the side of the chassis, the special-edition model is available in two finishes, both with footwear-inspired treads: black with white wave logo and gum tread, and white with red wave logo and tread.
