The Mick Ronson Cry Baby Wah taps into the vibrant, melodic character of one of rock ’n’ roll’s most gifted songwriters. Few guitar players have been able to combine a keen musical instinct with a profound grasp of how to bring a composition together like Mick Ronson. Laden with expressive resonance, his arrangements layered deliberately chosen tones and textures to build exquisite melodies and powerful riffs. The Cry Baby Wah, set in a fixed position to serve as a filter, was key to the tone- shaping vision that Ronson used to transform the face of popular music through his work with David Bowie and many others as both an artist and a producer.

We wanted to make that incredible Cry Baby Wah sound available to all players, and legendary producer Bob Rock—a friend and collaborator of Ronson’s—was there to help. He generously loaned us Ronson’s own Cry Baby Wah pedal, an early Italian-made model whose vintage components imbue it with a truly singular sound. Using it as a filter in a fixed position, Ronson recorded many tracks with this pedal, and Rock would go on to use it when recording numerous other artists. With matched specs, tightened tolerances, and a custom inductor, our engineers have recreated this truly special sound.

“You place the wah, and leave it there, and that’s the tone,” Rock says. “It’s all over every record he ever made, and I’ve used it on every record since I got it. Dunlop’s engineers spent the time and sent me the prototypes, and we nailed that sound.”

To capture all of the nuance and detail responsible for Ronson’s unique wah sound, our engineers created a custom inductor that replicates the higher frequency response and subtler peak of the original pedal. The resulting sound offers an exquisitely balanced sonic profile that’s bright and clear with peaks that stay musically smooth. We want every player to get that same experience, so we tightened the inductor tolerance to ensure the closest possible representation of Ronson’s Cry Baby Wah. We have likewise reproduced the fast initial sweep of the potentiometer, which offers an instant reactivity that’s like nothing from the modern era. And it didn’t stop there—the engineering team even included period-accurate low-gain transistors and value-matched resistors that contribute to a truly distinctive EQ curve. This is a pedal that is literally tailor-made for Mr. Ronson’s signature fixed-wah tones.

Capping it all off, we’ve adorned the Mick Ronson Cry Baby Wah with a special finish inspired by his work. Dig into the signature tones of one of the greatest to ever pick up the guitar. Get the Mick Ronson Cry Baby Wah.

Tasty Pedals made by Jim

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Baby. 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.. Dunlop. Guitar Pedals. Mick. New. Pedal — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food — once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. Ronson. Signature. Wah — A wah pedal is one of the most expressive tools a guitarist can use, creating that classic “wah-wah” sound by sweeping through frequencies as you move the foot pedal. It acts like a dynamic tone filter, emphasising different parts of the frequency range to make your guitar almost sing. This makes it great for funk rhythms, blues solos, and psychedelic leads, giving your playing a human, vocal-like character that reacts directly to your movement. From the vintage tones of Jimi Hendrix and Clapton to modern rock and metal, the wah remains a timeless effect. It can be used subtly to shape tone or dramatically to cut through a mix with rhythmic sweeps. Many modern wahs also offer adjustable Q, range, and boost options, allowing you to fine-tune their response. A good wah pedal becomes a true extension of your playing style, adding expression, energy, and soul to every note..
