Product Description
Cited as a major influence by wah-wah masters such as Hendrix, Clapton, and Vaughn--Buddy Guy helped establish the wah-wah as part of the blues vocabulary. To honor his contributions Dunlop has created the Crybaby Buddy Guy Signature Wah Pedal, featuring the Fasel Inductor for a sweet and singing top end, and 2 distinct user selectable wah voices--choose DEEP for a big and throaty growl, or BG for Buddy's own warm and bell-like wah tone. Convenient side-mounted LEDs indicate which mode you are in, while a separate LED indicates effect on/off. Let your guitar sing the blues in style with the Buddy-approved polka dot graphics and custom signature tread.Jim Dunlop BG-95 Buddy Guy Sign Wah Review
I've tried a lot of wah pedals, but I'm no expert. You might think "a wah is a wah", but that's not always true, I've got 6 Dunlop wah's, all sound completely different. I've NOT tried high-end boutique stuff (Parachute wah, Teese stuff, etc.), but I've tried enough different average wah pedals over the years to give up on wah altogether and not use it much.I want to hear certain things in a wah pedal. The Buddy Guy Wah almost immediately gave them all to me. Turn the treble all the way up on your amp and guitar, you're *still* probably not gonna make this thing "shrill" and painfully piercing in the high end, which all my other wahs will do - Sure, you can just not "sweep" up that high, but now I've lost range in my pedal. Again, this Buddy Guy wah is voiced and set-up in such a way that the Ice-Pick highs aren't gonna happen (or if it does, it'll be an ice pick made of rubber - you'll survive the attack).
The other thing I want is thick gummy singing notes/lines, which translates to dramatic effects when rocking the wah, like its a deeper cut, or something. Its so easy to find those spots on this pedal; hit a strong note and move this thing a little bit, and its gonna grab and start singing. Basically, this thing never sounds bad, it always sounds pretty "thick" but I don't feel its gunking up my signal. Turning down the Treble on my guitar, instant "woman tone", old Zep sounds, etc. Pretty much if you turn the pedal on, it's gonna sound *nice*...
I don't really hear a dramatic difference between the two "modes". Again, this thing always sounds awesome.
The Polka Dots are cool as hell!
I found this through a buddy of mine, he's got ALL the current Dunlop Signature Wah pedals, all lined up on a board. I kept going back to the Buddy Guy, and the Jerry Cantrell. I bought both (the Cantrell has a high-end roll off, but otherwise it sounds very similar to ((just "nicer" than)) my old '95 Crybaby, which I don't use), but the Buddy Guy is THE ONE. I'm thinking of getting another one, to have a backup over the years. The two that I've played so far sounded identical to each other.
Truly, this is what I've always been looking for, I've been playing guitar almost 20 years now! Is it what YOU want to hear? Gotta try it for yourself to know...
