Jim Dunlop John Petrucci Cry Baby Wah JP95 Guitar Pedal

Jim Dunlop John Petrucci Cry Baby Wah JP95 – The Ultiate Signature Wah for Progressive Metal Mastery

Based on John Petrucci's Rack Wah Settings. Volume, Q, and Six EQ Controls for Ultimate Tonal Control.

The JP95 John Petrucci Signature Cry Baby® Wah is the result of the legendary prog metal shredder's years-long quest to hone his perfect wah tone. For years, John used the Cry Baby Rack Wah system to tweak and fine-tune its numerous parameters until he found the sound that perfectly represents all the expression and intensity he needs. Recently, he and Dream Theater engineer Richard Chycki worked with the Cry Baby design team to replicate and further fine-tune that sound with a single pedal. This is a wah that, as John puts it, "sounds huge and badass like an angry, screaming monster with the ultimate expressive range—it's perfect for shaping single notes or manipulating growling, heavy chords."

Ultimate Tonal Control: Volume, Q, and 6-Band EQ

Factory set to John's personal settings, the JP95 features all the controls he used to find his Cry Baby voice: Volume to add gain, Q to shape the width of the effect, and a 6-band EQ to shape the tone of the wah sound, from 100Hz to 3.2KHz. Want to fine-tune the sound to your own preference? Just take off the bottom plate and tweak away. This is not just a wah—it's a complete tonal shaping tool that gives you unprecedented control over your wah sound.

Designed for the Demands of Progressive Metal

John Petrucci is known for his technical mastery, intricate compositions, and expressive playing, and the JP95 is built to meet those demands. Whether you're shaping single notes with vocal-like precision or manipulating growling, heavy chords, this wah delivers the expressive range and aggressive character that modern progressive metal requires. The wide sweep and dynamic response ensure that every nuance of your playing is translated into rich, powerful wah tone.

Road-Ready Construction with Custom Smoked Chrome Finish

The John Petrucci Signature Cry Baby Wah comes in a sturdy, road-ready housing with a custom smoked chrome finish and JP shield logo tread. The smoked chrome finish gives the pedal a sleek, modern aesthetic that stands out on any pedalboard, while the JP shield logo tread provides excellent grip and a visual tribute to the legendary guitarist. This is a pedal designed to withstand the rigors of touring while looking as good as it sounds.
