The Dunlop Slash Signature Cry Baby is a wah pedal from Dunlop, built for Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash as an entirely revoiced version of the Cry Baby Classic, sold as the SC95 Cry Baby Classic Slash Signature Wah1. It sits in Dunlop's long-running line of signature Cry Baby wahs, which Guitar World notes has included models for players such as Dimebag Darrell2.
What it does
Like any Cry Baby wah, it is a foot-treadle filter that sweeps a frequency peak through the guitar's range as you rock the pedal, shaping vowel-like tones. What sets the Slash model apart is its voicing: Guitar World describes it as "an entirely revoiced signature SC95 Dunlop Cry Baby Classic wah pedal" rather than a cosmetic reissue1.
The pedal carries Slash's visual trademarks, with "the trademark Slash-and-crossbones logo" on the enclosure and "a distressed hot-rod finish"1.
On its sound, Guitar World's reviewer wrote:
"The finely tuned Dunlop SC95 Cry Baby Classic Slash signature wah is capable of producing three distinct wah voices"1
That three-voice range is the reviewer's central finding: rather than one fixed wah character, the pedal can be tuned toward different usable voices depending on how it is set and played1.
Dunlop has also made other Slash wahs, including the Dunlop SW95 Slash Cry Baby Wah and the Dunlop Slash Cry Baby Wah, alongside the Dunlop Slash Cry Baby Classic.
