Description

Dunlop produced the EVH95-U Cry Baby EVH Wah as a collaboration with Eddie Van Halen, modelling the circuit on what the source describes as EVH's own "Holy Grail" wah pedal. The unit sat within Dunlop's Cry Baby signature series as a player-specification reproduction rather than a standard production wah.

The pedal was built around a custom inductor and a custom pot, with an extra wide frequency sweep compared to a standard Cry Baby. The sweep runs from a low-pass centre of 300Hz–380Hz at heel-down to a high-pass centre of 1.9kHz–2.3kHz at toe-down. Input impedance is 800K and output impedance is 10K. True hard-wired bypass is fitted, keeping the signal path clean when the effect is disengaged. The unit draws 2mA at 9V DC and accepts a maximum input level of −13.5dBV at the filter's centre frequency, with a maximum output of +6.5dBV.

Owners requiring replacement inductors, pots, or sweep-range adjustments should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with wah circuitry, as component tolerances in the custom pot and inductor directly affect the sweep character the pedal was designed to replicate.

From the people who own them

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.

Owner photos

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.

Comments

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.
