Description

Dunlop built the CBM105Q-U Cry Baby Mini Bass Wah as a compact counterpart to the 105Q Bass Wah, housed in a lighter aluminum enclosure at roughly half the physical footprint of the full-size unit. The pedal was positioned for bass players who needed the character of the 105Q in a smaller format suitable for a reduced pedalboard.

The circuit was voiced to preserve a strong fundamental while shaping the wah sweep across fills and solos. Internally, the unit runs on a buffered bypass with an automatic engage mechanism; the bypass delay is adjustable between 35 ms and 550 ms, with a factory preset of 290 ms. The frequency sweep moves from 180 Hz heel-down to 1800 Hz toe-down, and a VOL control offers a range of 0 dB to −21 dB. Current draw is rated at 6.7 mA.

Owners sourcing replacement components or setting up the pedal should consult a qualified guitar or bass technician, particularly when addressing the auto-engage sensitivity or internal trim adjustments.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
