Kirk Hammett Signature Cry Baby Wah — Metal-Tuned Wah Pedal

The Dunlop Kirk Hammett Signature Cry Baby Wah (KH95) is a wah pedal co-developed with the Metallica lead guitarist to translate his stage wah voice into a compact stompbox. Dunlop's engineers took Kirk's EQ, volume, and tone settings from his Cry Baby Rack Wah and reproduced them with exacting precision. The KH95 delivers a thick top end, full dynamic range, and a wide, vocal-like sweep that stays even from heel to toe. True-bypass switching keeps the dry signal untouched when off.

What Sets this model Apart from a Standard Cry Baby

Unlike a stock Cry Baby, this signature model is voiced for high-gain metal lead work, with custom EQ curves emphasizing a thick top end and full dynamic range. The treadle carries custom foot-bone graphics, and the housing wears a two-tone green finish matching Kirk's stage look. Response stays exceptionally even across the entire foot sweep, so the same aggressive character holds together at both heel-down and toe-up positions.

Signal Flow — Inputs, Outputs, and Bypass

The KH95 is wired for standard mono guitar signal chains. Both input and output use 6.3 mm TS jacks, dropping into any pedalboard between guitar and amp without adapters.

• Type: Wah-Wah — single-effect analog wah pedal
• Inputs: Jack 6.3 mm TS — standard mono instrument input
• Outputs: Jack 6.3 mm TS — standard mono instrument output
• True-bypass switching ensures the dry signal passes through unaffected when the pedal is off.
