Very basic wah pedal, but sounds creamy
DanielPicon 21.05.2017
This pedal is very basic, which is not an issue, I knew what I was getting, I got what I paid for.

My first wah ever was the dimebag model which is twice as expensive, it had tons of features, most of them I did not use at all. I sold that one a long time ago cause I wanted to get a normal and more classic wah. So now I got this, I'm still getting used to it. But it sounds good overall.

Nothing to say about the quality, it's built like a tank.

Only comment I would like to add as feedback would be that I think the rubber raisers the pedal has at the bottom should have an easier way to remove them. It has been a struggle to attach this to my new pedalboard, basically the rubber feet are too tall and the Velcro doesn't stick properly to the pedalboard because of those rubber things. I was able to unscrew the screws, take off the rubber things and then upon trying to put the screws back in, basically it did not work without the rubbers, so in the end I just put the rubbers back and accepted my defeat.

Interesting note: when I took the 4 screws off, I took a sneak peek at the insides of the pedal. I would say more than half of the pedal is empty air, I guess it's a fairly simple effect, it's just big enough for our big feet.

Overall, creamy pedal.

A little squeaky, especially in the lowermost position. Cuts the treble in the middle when it is off.
Needs modification.
Soldered out buffer stage, swapped 0.01 capacitor for 0.022, soldered true bypass. Instructions are on the internet. The cost of the modification was 1 dollar (capacitor).
As a result, working frequency range became a bit lower, fat sound and true bypass. And all this for less than $100.
I'm very happy with it!

Great tone, great durability
Anonymous 14.01.2016
GCB95 is exactly what you would expect. Very good tone in a small and durable box. After 4 years of almost everyday use it does not show any signs of wear.

I mostly played it using Stratocaster, Telecaster and Les Paul Guitars through a 74' Fender Twin Reverb and a Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9. It has shown a nice frequency spectre and the right amount of aggresiveness for rock music as well as gentleness for softer songs.

It had only one downside: it came with a non-working power socket, which had to be replaced.

All in all: good buy, if you like a classic wah sound, but would not suffice if you want versatility, since it does not provide any EQ or other controls.

Dunlop Crybaby Wah
Brian812 25.10.2018
This is a classic. I love it, always works, will never let you down.
Weighs a ton though. I would love to see an LED on this pedal so you can see if it's engaged. I already had a very embarrassing moment during a live gig where I forgot to turn it off...

Instant smile :-)

Two songs and you have the picture: Voodoo Child (slight return) and Money for Nothing.
Well build, works smoothly and 'the sound'. What else is needed?

good wah wah not good cocked wah
gadfhada 04.07.2021
it sounds pretty good when you are rocking it back and forth but when its cocked its not great, especially when you got a drive pedal or a dirty preamp its got too much gain while also mixed with the mids, im sure it can be fixed with some wiring thing

whaw.
guitarmusic 20.02.2014
If you are looking for the classic, basic whawha-sound for a little price, you could become happy with this pedal.
It's built very reliable and has this well known sound. I like its range, but it's nothing special scooped or anything, just minimalistic and basic.

But watch out: If you want to mount it on a even pedalboard, you could get problems since it has four little stands on the bottom ! Also, I suggest to use a power supply, since you have to open the whole pedal with a screwdriver to change batteries.

Classic wah
Some guy with a name 03.02.2021
A true classic wah, exactly what you would expect. It is my go-to wah. The only con is that it would be nice if there were some customization options, but I'm very happy with the stock sound.
