Dunlop GCB95G 50th Anniversary Cry Baby Wah – Used

Quick Product Summary

The Dunlop GCB95G 50th Anniversary Cry Baby Wah is a special limited-edition version of one of the most iconic guitar effects ever made. Created to celebrate 50 years of the Cry Baby, it combines the familiar sound and operation of the classic GCB95 with an unmistakable 24-karat gold-plated enclosure.

This used example is in Good condition, showing cosmetic signs of previous ownership and regular use. Underneath its distinctive anniversary finish is the straightforward, expressive Cry Baby wah circuit that has become a staple of rock, blues, funk and lead guitar.

What Makes the Dunlop GCB95G 50th Anniversary Cry Baby Special?

The GCB95G was produced as a commemorative version of the standard Cry Baby, retaining the proven GCB95 circuit while transforming the familiar black enclosure with a striking genuine gold-plated finish.

Operation remains deliberately simple. Press the treadle forward until the toe switch clicks to engage the effect, then rock the pedal between heel and toe positions to sweep through its vocal frequency range. The result ranges from darker, rounded tones at the heel through to bright, cutting wah sounds at the toe.

Who Is It For?

The GCB95G is ideal for guitarists who want the classic Cry Baby experience with the added appeal of a discontinued anniversary model.

It is equally suited to rock, blues, funk, psychedelic and lead guitar playing, while its distinctive gold finish also makes it an appealing piece for Cry Baby collectors and Dunlop enthusiasts.
