Dunlop has debuted the all-new Custom Badass Cry Baby wah pedal, which packs two of the most iconic wah voices in history into one compact unit.
In a bid to offer a broad, dynamic palette and expand your musical expression, the limited-edition Dual-Inductor pedal boasts both a Halo Inductor and Fasel Inductor, each offering unique voices that can be tweaked to your specific tonal desire.
The Halo Inductor is described as a classic wah sound as heard on iconic British blues records, with a throaty, harmonically rich midrange and a particularly potent punch.
On the other hand, the Fasel Inductor offers a more modern tone, notable for its brighter tonal character and its ability to cut through a mix. Suitable for higher-gain sounds, the Fasel Inductor offers "bright clarity and lush harmonics".
The pedal itself features a kickswitch that allows the user to easily flick between voices, as well as separate fine-tune knobs, which control the wah itself. A clockwise turn dials in a more aggressive tone, while the opposite curates smoother sounds.
Underneath the frequency controls sit two LED lights, which let you see at a glance which voice is selected. A blue LED signals the Halo Inductor is engaged, while a red one shows the Fasel Inductor is currently in action.
Of course, the foot rocker features, giving guitarists total control over the vocal, expressive tones that the wah creates.
