Jim Dunlop Akira Takasaki Cry Baby Fuzz Wah AT95 – Signature Fuzz Wah for Japanese Guitar Legend
The Perfect Blend of High-Gain Saturation and Sweeping Expression
Japanese rock legend Akira Takasaki is famous for his fast, intricate riffs and melodic compositions—most notably heard in the heavy metal band Loudness. The Cry Baby Akira Takasaki Fuzz Wah is specially designed to complement and accentuate Akira's style, delivering huge chords and leads that sing with fiery vocality. With a custom low-frequency sweep and a switchable fuzz circuit, this pedal puts the perfect blend of high-gain saturation and sweeping expression right at your feet.
Custom Low-Frequency Sweep for Expressive Leads
Specially designed for Japanese guitar legend Akira Takasaki, this Cry Baby Wah features a lower frequency sweep and a switchable fuzz circuit for expressive leads infused with fiery harmonics. The custom low-frequency sweep delivers a thicker, more guttural wah tone that perfectly complements heavy riffs and melodic leads. Whether you're playing rhythm or lead, this sweep provides the vocal, expressive character that defines Akira's playing.
Switchable Fuzz Circuit for High-Gain Saturation
The AT95 features a switchable fuzz circuit that adds high-gain saturation and fiery harmonics to your tone. When engaged, the fuzz delivers aggressive, singing distortion that pairs perfectly with the wah sweep. From the moment you step on the pedal, this badass effect simultaneously roars out fuzz along with the traditional Cry Baby Wah sound, creating a massive, expressive tone that cuts through any mix.
Auto-Return Switching for Expressive Control
Auto-return switching allows you to step into the effect just as long as you need to make your passage pop. This intuitive design lets you engage the wah and fuzz for a brief accent or a longer passage, then automatically returns to your clean signal when you release the pedal. It's perfect for players who want expressive control without tap-dancing on multiple switches.
LED Indicators for Stage-Ready Awareness
LED indicators indicate whether the fuzz or wah effects are active, so you always know your settings at a glance—even on the darkest stages. No more guessing whether the fuzz is engaged or the wah is active. Just plug in, step on, and play.
The Sound of a Japanese Rock Legend
"The best ROCK wah pedal for live performances," Akira says. "From the moment you step on the pedal, this badass effect simultaneously roars out fuzz along with the traditional Cry Baby Wah sound!" Whether you're chasing the tones of Loudness or forging your own path in heavy music, the AT95 delivers the expressive, aggressive voice that defines Akira's playing.
