- Short-cuts : Dunlop Musical instruments
This is basically a vibrato effect with expression pedal or a chorus effect with expression pedal. I am assuming it is analog, but I am not 100% sure. The only editing you get is modulation control with the foot pedal, intensity control with knob on the side, and a switch for chorus or vibrato. It cannot be hooked up to a computer. It is only 1/4" audio in and out and it is not rackable.
Its very easy to set up. Plug it in. Step down to activate, select chorus or vibrato (I alway forget which one is which, one turns the light yellow, the other turns it green) and adjust the intensity. Thats it. There is really no need for a manual. I never looked at one and was able to figure it out very shortly.
I honestly don't care for this pedal overall. The vibrato is pretty fun because of the expression pedal, but in order to turn it on, you need to push the pedal all the way down, and that means you always have to start at minimal vibrato and adjust it back up. It would have been nice if there was another way to activate it so you didn't have to reset it everytime you wanted to turn it on. The chorus is ok. I own a Diamond halo chorus and the Rotovibe can't even touch that baby. I used to use this in my synth/alt vocals Mixer's effect chain to create some crazy vibrato effects, but in the end, I took it out of my arsenal and am trying to sell it. The
I have had it for six months and I never really used it during that time. What I like about it was the idea of the built in expression pedal, but when I got it, I realized the activation flaw and was very sad ): Also, it doesn't even have stereo options, whats the deal with that. Even cheap boss chorus pedals have that. Again, if you want fantastic chorus, get the Diamond halo chorus, or even and Analog man chorus pedal. Either one will make the rotovibe look childish. Overall, I am disappointed in this pedal. I got mine used for $100 and I regret it very much.
This pedal is a crybaby wah wah pedal made especially for bass. The difference between this pedal and regular pedals is that it only puts wah on the high and mid frequencies so that the low frequencies still come through clean. The reason this is so great is because as most bass players know, their job is to keep the backbone of the band, but if all of your sound is wah-ed then you get a real muddy and inconsistent tone. It features a volume knob so you can turn the level up or down depending on what the situation is. This comes in handy if you want to put some wah in your bass solo or lead. The best thing about this pedal for me, without a doubt, is that it automatically comes back up when pushed down. This way you don't have to use the toe-heel-toe rocking motion. Instead, you only really have to use your toe. The rubber grip on the top helps ensure that your feet will not slip off, and it does a great job.
The pedal is very simple to set up just plug in and play. It takes a little bit of testing to find the right volume that you want the wah level, but once you do, you never have to touch the knob again.
The sound of the 105Q is great. It has the same great tone that you would expect from a crybaby wah. This was my first wah pedal so I had to get used to what positions of the pedal make what sounds. Once you get the hang of this pedal you can control your sound like never before, such as using it to enhance harmonics.
This is by far my favorite pedal. Wah pedals are just all around fun to play. I have owned this pedal for two years now and have never had one single problem with it. Every now and then it needs a battery replacement. I use mine on my pedal board so I don't use the battery. I plan on keeping this pedal for a very long time and will not upgrade ever. If it does ever break down, I will definitely buy another just like it.
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).
