The Dunlop GCB-95 Cry Baby is standard wah-wah pedal made by the masters of the wah - Dunlop. There are 1/4'' inputs and outputs and it is not a rackable effect.
Like most pedals, this was really easy to get going. I simply plugged my guitar into the input and sent the output to an amp. The effect is a standard wah/filter sound and while this model could have a greater sweep range, it definitely gets the job done. I have never seen the model because I bought it used.
The effect with this Dunlop is very realistic and usable as a wah sound. I used it with guitar mostly, but it would certainly work with bass, keys, or any other instrument you could plug this into. While it isn't a versatile pedal, it does exactly what it advertises - gives you a good sounding wah-wah at a reasonable price.
I've had mine for about 6 years now and although I don't use it all the time, it is my only wah-wah pedal and use it whenever I want the effect. It is real basic to use and has an on/off switch to toggle with when you press down the front of the pedal with your toes. I've used some other Dunlop models and Vox models and while I like some of the other wah-wah pedals better, for the price I really can't complain. It gives you a nice sounding wah for a fraction of the price of some of the more expensive models.
Wha wha pédal, analog
- can't be more easy to use
Good effect but the pédal seems poorly built: the bypass (not a true one) affect the sound quality (in the bad way), and when the effect is on, the signal drops and become thin
I'm modded mine and all those problems are over

I was expecting more from the "standard" cry baby. But in fact it's really fun to mod it (it sounds great now).
