Is the Dunlop Mick Ronson Cry Baby Wah worth buying?

Published · Last updated

Answered by Roadie

The Dunlop Mick Ronson Cry Baby Wah is worth considering if you specifically want this signature wah, but try it before committing £259. The supplied information doesn’t establish how its sound or features compare with other wah pedals.

At the supplied best new price of £259, make sure you’re buying a sound you enjoy rather than just a signature name. Try it with your own guitar and amp if possible, listening to the sweep and checking how comfortable the treadle feels underfoot.

There aren’t any other wah pedals in the supplied selection, so there’s no supported like-for-like comparison here. An expression pedal isn’t a standalone wah substitute, and chorus, delay and noise suppression serve different jobs.

If value matters more than getting this particular model, browse the Best-value used guitar pedals list for possible alternatives. Check what’s actually available rather than assuming it includes a comparable wah.
