Recreation of Mick’s late ‘60s Italian Jen-made Crybaby (3rd pic), and really does sound like it. Looks like I’ll largely be retiring my 30 year old Vox V487 (which this thing sounds nothing like and doesn’t have a 9V adapter socket).
It’s quite usable in the heel down and toe down positions without being too muddy or harsh, respectively.

Here it is through my Metroamp 1959 clone with a Les Paul and Dano Cool Cat V1 Fuzz since I don’t have a tone bender.

Oh nice work getting one,, that's a cracking wah. I didn't realise they were going to be such brilliant colours too; I love it.

Nice. Regardless of what it sounds like, it looks gorgeous!

Update: so this pedal stopped working but Dunlop have agreed to fix it for free even though it’s technically out of warranty. Happy about that as I’ve also just gotten a Behringer Fuzz Bender and am mainly interested in the combination of those two pedals.

Also shout out to my Vox wah… 30 years old and no problems.

Pedal showed up yesterday, complete with replacement pot. Good show, Dunlop!
