Dunlop announced the Iron Maiden Killers Cry Baby wah on January 22, 2026, a collector's edition of its Cry Baby Standard Wah decorated with artwork from the band's 1981 album Killers¹². Guitar World reported the pedal is available now for $229.99¹. Gearnews gave a price of $251.00 and said it was available at Thomann²; the two outlets do not agree on the price.

Guitar World described the pedal as "essentially a redressed version of the GCB95 Cry Baby Standard Wah," with no added features beyond the standard circuit¹. Gearnews said it uses "the legendary GCB95 Cry Baby Standard circuitry, delivering the same expressive, bold sweep that has defined rock 'n' roll since the mid-60s"². According to Gearnews, the top carries the Killers-era Eddie, the tread is custom-embossed and high-grip, the Iron Maiden logo runs along the side, and the album artwork is reproduced on the bottom plate². Guitar World noted the Killers image covering the bottom plate and the logo along the side¹.

Dunlop said the wah was part of the album's sound, calling it "integral to the momentous Iron Maiden album Killers, escalating the tension and deepening the dark grittiness of tracks such as 'Wrathchild,' 'Innocent Exile,' and 'Drifter'"³. Gearnews named the same three tracks².

Guitar World reported that Kirk Hammett and John Petrucci were among the first players to receive the pedal, sent in unmarked boxes to open for their social media followers¹. Gearnews reported the same, describing a teaser campaign on social media in the weeks before the release². Hammett said in his clip, "I love Iron Maiden, and I love this album. I'm getting a warm feeling in my heart right now"¹².

Dunlop showed the pedal at NAMM 2026 in Anaheim in January, alongside new MXR and Way Huge pedals and other gear³.
