The CM95 Clyde McCoy® by Cry Baby®
Wah Wah is a tribute to the first
production wah wah ever made. This
modernized classic captures the throaty
voice and expressive sweep of the
original while offering gigging players
the consistency and convenience they
need on the road.

PHOTO LEFT: Clyde McCoy, famous for developing the wah wah trumpet
technique, lent his name to the very first production wah wah pedals.

As heirs to the wah wah lineage and
guardians of its legacy, Dunlop drew
from decades of wah wah design and
building experience to ensure that the
CM95 faithfully represents the tone and
spirit of the very first wah wah. Years
ago, we inherited the original tooling
and machinery used to design and
manufacture the first Clyde McCoy pedals
from the Thomas Organ Company and
Jen Electronica. Combining these resources
with our own 30+ years of experience
developing and manufacturing wah wahs

allowed us to create the most fitting tribute
to the original Clyde McCoy pedal.

The most important element of any wah
wah pedal is its voice. The Thomas Organ
Company and Jen Electronica used a

™

special component called a Halo

inductor
to give the original Clyde McCoy pedals
their highly coveted smooth vocal quality.
Because of the way those original Halo
inductors were built, however, they often
added undesirable microphonic noise.
Our engineers created the Dunlop HI01
Halo Inductor to solve this problem,

updating the original design with a
stabilized cup core to preserve the unique
Clyde McCoy sound while minimizing
unpleasant microphonics.

The rest of the CM95’s circuitry is just as
faithful to its forebear, featuring thru-hole
components built into a classic housing
with a premium pot, switch, and jacks.
Now, you can take the classic Clyde
McCoy sound out on the road and leave
your vintage wah wah safely at home.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

• Run an instrument cable from your guitar
to the CM95’s INSTRUMENT jack and
another instrument cable from the CM95’s

AMPLIFIER jack into your amplifier’s input.

• Push the toe of the pedal down until you
feel a “click” to turn the pedal on/off.

• By rocking your foot back and forth on
the pedal, you can instantaneously change
the effect that the Clyde McCoy Cry Baby
has on the tone of your instrument.

• Located under the rocker at the heel of
the pedal is an adjustable torque clutch
that allows the amount of resistance the
rocker has to being moved. Turn clockwise
to increase resistance or counterclockwise
to decrease resistance. (Wrench included).
