Description

The Dunlop CBM95 Cry Baby Mini Wah delivers the familiar expressive Cry Baby wah sound in a much smaller enclosure, making it ideal for compact pedalboards and portable rigs.

Despite its reduced footprint, the CBM95 offers considerably more flexibility than a basic wah thanks to an internal 3-position voicing switch, allowing the frequency range to be set to Low, Mid or High.

The High setting provides the familiar response of the standard GCB95 Cry Baby, while the other settings move the sweep into darker and more mid-focused territory.

This Pre-Owned example is in Very Good condition.

No power supply is included.

  • Blues

  • Filter sweeps

  • Expressive solos

  • Vintage wah sounds

  • Higher-cutting modern wah tones

DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS

Compact Mini Enclosure

The CBM95 is approximately half the size of a conventional Cry Baby wah.

This makes it particularly useful for compact pedalboards where space is limited.

Traditional Cry Baby Operation

The basic playing method remains familiar.

Press the toe of the treadle down until the switch clicks to engage the effect, then rock the pedal forwards and backwards to sweep the wah frequency.

Three Internal Voicings

An internal switch provides three different frequency ranges.

High

The High setting delivers the standard GCB95 Cry Baby-style frequency range.

This is the brightest and most familiar modern Cry Baby sound.

Mid

The Mid setting provides a more vintage-style, mid-focused response.

It works particularly well for classic rock and blues.

Low

The Low setting shifts the sweep lower for a darker and thicker wah response.

This is useful with warmer pickups, heavier sounds and players who prefer less upper-mid emphasis.

ADJUSTABLE ROCKER TORQUE

The CBM95 includes an adjustable rocker torque clutch beneath the treadle.

This lets the player alter how freely the pedal moves.

More resistance can help hold the treadle in a particular position, while a looser setting gives a lighter and quicker sweep.

TRUE HARDWIRE BYPASS

The CBM95 uses true hardwire bypass, keeping the signal path straightforward when the wah is disengaged.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Dunlop Cry Baby Mini is particularly well suited to:

  • Guitarists with compact pedalboards

  • Rock players

  • Funk musicians

  • Blues guitarists

  • Classic rock players

  • Travelling musicians

  • Players who want multiple wah voicings

  • Musicians who prefer a smaller footprint

PLAYING STYLES & APPLICATIONS

The Cry Baby Mini works particularly well for:

  • Rock

  • Classic rock

  • Funk

  • Blues

  • Hard rock

  • Alternative

  • Lead guitar

  • Rhythm filtering

  • Clean wah

  • High-gain wah sounds

HOW IT COMPARES

Cry Baby Mini vs Standard GCB95

The CBM95 provides the standard GCB95-style voicing in its High setting but occupies roughly half the pedalboard space.

It also adds two alternative frequency ranges.

Cry Baby Mini vs 535Q Mini

The CBM95 is the simpler model.

The 535Q Mini adds external Q, range and boost controls, while the CBM95 focuses on three internal frequency voicings and straightforward traditional wah operation.

Mini Wah vs Full-Size Wah

The main difference is physical footprint.

The smaller treadle takes a little adjustment for players accustomed to a full-size Cry Baby, but it provides a substantial pedalboard-space saving.

FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Players who want a proper Cry Baby wah response in a significantly smaller pedalboard footprint.

Customers usually upgrade from: Basic fixed-voice wah pedals, large full-size wahs and players looking to reduce pedalboard size.

Most commonly paired with: Overdrive, distortion, fuzz, compression and valve amplifiers.

Our tip: Try the Mid setting before automatically leaving it in High. It gives the pedal a warmer, more vocal response that can work particularly well with humbuckers and driven amplifiers.

Showroom feedback: The Cry Baby Mini saves a surprising amount of pedalboard space while still feeling like a real mechanical wah. The three voicings also make it more versatile than its compact size suggests.
