Description
This isn’t a generic Cry Baby with new paint — the EVH95 traces directly back to Eddie’s personal “Holy Grail” unit, a Nineties Cry Baby he’d modded with a High Q inductor and widened sweep, then played so hard and so consistently in the middle of its throw that his technique literally reshaped the resistive element inside the pot. Dunlop cloned that worn-in curve and paired it with a hand-selected inductor, so you get the same exaggerated midrange bite and deeper low-end pull that made Eddie’s tone instantly recognizable, without needing decades of stage time to carve it yourself.
On the board, it behaves like a proper high-gain wah: expressive in the mids where riffs and leads live, with true hardwire bypass keeping your signal clean and uncolored when it’s off. Dual bright blue LEDs make bypass status easy to spot on a dim stage, and the black-and-yellow striped shell — a nod to the Van Halen II guitar — makes it just as easy to spot in the dark. Drop it early in the chain ahead of gain stages for classic vocal wah, or after your dirt for a more filtered, saturated sweep — either way it responds fast to foot pressure and holds its character across the whole sweep, not just at the extremes.
