Dunlop took a slate of new gear to NAMM 2026 in Anaheim, the company said in a post dated February 2, 2026. The lineup includes new pedals from its Cry Baby, MXR and Way Huge lines, alongside picks, strings and accessories.
The Cry Baby BB535 Wah Reissue is described as a recreation of the first commercially available modded wah. Dunlop says the original was first released in 1994, built on collaboration with guitarists, and offered a frequency selector, built-in boost and a custom inductor tuned for a warm, vocal tone. The company calls the reissue "an authentic restoration of that sound and feel."
The Iron Maiden Killers Cry Baby Wah is a collector's edition of the Cry Baby Standard Wah with a finish and custom tread inspired by the album Killers. Dunlop cites "Wrathchild," "Innocent Exile" and "Drifter" as tracks where the wah was integral.
The MXR EVH Modern High Gain Pedal was designed in direct collaboration with Eddie Van Halen in 2015, according to Dunlop, and is intended to deliver EVH high-gain tone. The Way Huge Jumbo Fuzz Swollen Pickle XXX marks the pedal's 30th anniversary; Dunlop says it has high-gain saturation and fat lows, with tweaks to the controls.
"The most corpulent of fuzzes is celebrating its 30th spin around the sun with a sweet new take on its crushing and humongous tone."
Dunlop did not give prices or release dates for the pedals in the post.
