Feature:
not much there besides wah, but i dont want a wah pedal for anything else BUT the wah, so it makes sense.

Quality:
i have stomped, kicked, thrown, beaten, whacked, and tormented this in so many different ways, its virtuallly indestructible. it will probably outlast my guitar

Value:
for $70, you cant beat it.

Desirability:
its a slick beast of funk or metal

Sound:
great wah sound, good for just about anything.

Ease of Use:
easiest pedal i own. just klick the pedal on and off, move back and forth for desired wah, rapidly for cool effects, simple as that

Support:
never had to use support

Overall:
best pedal i own, nothing i know like it. you need a wah pedal, buy this, cause its amazing. much better than any vox that foo at the bottom of the page has

Feature:
this thing does not have any extra bull $hit on it so you cant comprimise the tone by fidling with knobs & junck like that.

Quality:
anyone who knows anything about playing guitar they know that dunlop makes all their products with a high quality, and nothing has changed with this thing it's built like a brick $hit house and looks cool as hell (all black.)

Value:
this thing could be easily worth more, unfortunatly i bought it when it cost more, but its all good i feel i got my moneys worth.

Desirability:
this thing is as sexy as it gets... i mean it's a CRY BABY.

Sound:
this pedal has a great sound, a really great wah sound. the best wah you can get for the price a amazingly large sweep for not havind any additional controls.

Ease of Use:
best and easiest to use effect pedal on the market as far as i'm concerned.

Support:
dunlop just makes the best everything in their catagory wether it be picks, wah pedals, ect.

Overall:
i'll have this thing FOREVER.

Feature:
Simple, which is perfect for what it's made for. Forget the extra garbage and name brand rip-offs that really just market the endorser's name and not the music. Everyone started with a standard, found their sound with a standard, and generally rocked our socks off with a standard wah pedal.

Quality:
Built like a tank. I had a friend who treated his crybaby like so and this thing was still weeping as if it had just been opened. I've dropped it, kicked it, drowned it, short of gutting the thing of its electronics and it still works.

Value:
It's almost a crying shame how much profit Dunlap could be making off of this pedal. Almost dirt cheap and very reliable. Disgustingly under priced (though most buyers won't be complaining about that).

Desirability:
I can't decide if I'll marry my Gibson or this.

Sound:
Sounds great. I'm a classic/stoner rock guitarist and am a sucker for full-throated fuzzed out freakouts. I totally dig the noises I can get from this pedal. Whether I'm doing Hendrix-style breakdowns, Pantera sweeps, or shallow-filter funky funk the Crybaby is all you need to kick butt!!! For those of you who own a talkbox also, I highly recommend you couple the two pedals together to really coax some amazing sounds out of your guitar.

Ease of Use:
So easy, a caveman could do it! You can use it straight forward with relative ease, and veterans can dig how expressive and truly versatile this crybaby can really be. Just like anything, you have to practice with it to get good at it, but like lifting weights, the results will be great!

Support:
I haven't had a problem yet, but I'm sure the support has quality enough to match the pedal.

Overall:
This pedal will never grow old. Don't get anything else but this. It all seems trivial and pointless after you plug into this!!!

Feature:
There are not a lot of features but I still love it. When you press down you get what you want. When you press up you get what you want. In the middle you get a classic tone.

Quality:
This is a very well made product.

Value:
Great value. All im gonna say

Desirability:
I love it. Its a great product to add to a touring pro or a beginer.

Sound:
Its more intense when you use a distortion box or fuzz effect. It also sounds a lot better. If you are going to buy this wah you might want to look into a boss distortion pedal too.

Support:
Havent needed any.

Overall:
Once you get one of these you dont need ANYTHING else.

Feature:
This is one thing I like about this pedal, no features to go wrong. Just a piece of medal that you move back and forth to change your sound. I love how it is all metal construction.

Quality:
All metal construction, not much to go wrong. I have read however the pot wears out after a while, haven't had this happen yet though. I would tour with it without a backup no doubt, bombproof.

Value:
Excellent value

Desirability:
Meh, all black metal housing, not much of a looker. Function over form

Sound:
Sounds great, easily imitates different genres of classic rock and funk. I use it with a Line 6 Spider II (I know, embarrasing) but it gets surprisingly good tone.

Ease of Use:
Like I said, it is incredibly easy to play. Within 5 minutes of getting it out of the box, I was jamming with it.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
I will be satisfied with this pedal for a very very long time I beleive. Next I would probably get a Vox or something of that nature.

Ease of Use:
easy to use

Support:

Feature:
No features, but none needed. A simple wah-wah with nothing flashy.

Quality:
The pedal is durable. Even after many failed attempts to get that classic crybaby sound (and a couple of kicks out of anger) it has only a few scratches. It is a dependable pedal (when it actually works).

Value:
Well usually this a bargain for that classic crybaby wah. But in my case I feel like I wasted my money on it.

Desirability:
I would feel that I overpaid if it was free! This pedal just takes up space. I am going to trade it in to my local(and unsuspecting) music store for a better one.

Sound:
There is hardly a difference with or without the wah on! It doesn't have good sound at all. Maybe mine is defective or something because my friend's sounds good, but mine sounds terrible. I've tried everything but the pedal's sound is near non-existent.

Ease of Use:
It certainly is easy to use, just plug in and play.

Support:
I haven't dealt with them so I really don't know.

Overall:
. Because of there excellent rep and numerous well-known musicians who endorse these products I will give dunlop the benefit of the doubt that this is just a rare pedal that somehow ended up defective. in fact I will probably end up buying a more expensive dunlp pedal such as the Dimebag or the Zakk Wylde for shred!

Feature:
It doesn't have anything special, but the quality of the wah is great.

Quality:
It's pretty high quality. I think it'll last me a long time.

Value:
I got this because it was cheaper, but still under a main brand name, so I could also get a new amp. The quality definetly ended up outweighing the price.

Desirability:
It's not that sexy, but I wouldn't look for that in a pedal.

Sound:
It has a great sound. Though I haven't tried any other wah pedals, this one is good enough for me.

Ease of Use:
It's simple and easy to use.

Support:
I haven't had any problems, but the Dunlop website seems helpful.

Overall:
It's great. Buy one if you don't want to shell out a couple hundred on a Slash or Jimi Hendrix wah.

Feature:
No features it just does one thing but I give it a ten because it does an excelent job at its one feature

Quality:
Very well built probably could be run over by a truck and still work

Value:
Worth Every Penny if this was stolen I would by a new one right away

Sound:
Excelent Wah Sound but when using it with Boss' Turbo Distortion a.k.a. DS-2 I found that the Turbo 2 mode on the pedal drowns out the wah sound when putting the Cry Baby before the distortion.

Ease of Use:
Very Simple no knobs or dials to turn just plug 'n play

Overall:
A very well built and well sounding wah pedal and its built like a tank

Quality:
Its awesome just some rubber thing fell off

Value:
Great play. its awesome. Dont waste your money buying the wicked expensive dunlops cuz thaey all sound the same but dont be too cheap and buy a lard pece of turd like beringer

Desirability:
Its sexy i guess

Sound:
it makes your guitar cry nuf said .playing it with distortion makes it sound liie hendrix. Just play purple haze and ull see.

Ease of Use:
Just plug it into your amp and guitar click it down to turn it on and play

Overall:
The best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be

Feature:
although a few tone controls would have been nice. the beauty of it is that you just plug it in and the crybabys imfamous tone is there.

Quality:
the crybaby has a very consistant finish on it from the paint to the rubber grip mat but to be truthful what could they really mess up. the construction is brilliant and i would trust it without a back up but this is if i serviced it before hand. the pots will last me around 2 months as i use it a lot with my band.

Value:
this is 2nd hand and in mint condition the value was brilliant on my budget

Desirability:
its is a 100% workhorse it does the job and prehaps it may not be the most attractive wah pedal on the market but for the guitar players out there its image is as important as a marshall stack or les paul. and in my opinion it is as smart as any of them it looks cool without trying, it oozes sopistacation

Sound:
i would'nt change a thing if i want to do my own thing the tones right if i want to sound like slash, zakk wylde or jimmy page the tones there. and unlike a chorus, flange pedal you can never get bored of it.

Support:
non expreince it is serviced through my local guitar shop

Overall:
i'll never have to look for another wah pedal again now i've found the crybaby line. i'm 100% happy with this model but i can't say wheather or not i'll try differant crybabys out although no fault is due to the GCB-95
