Cry

Cry pedal refers to the iconic wah-style effect that mimics the human voice, producing a “crying” tone as you rock the pedal back and forth. Originating in the 1960s with the famous Cry Baby wah, this effect sweeps the guitar’s mid frequencies to create expressive, vocal-like sounds. It’s a favourite for funk rhythms, soulful solos, and psychedelic rock, adding movement and emotion to a player’s phrasing.
