Dunlop worked with Joe to develop the Joe Bonamassa Signature Cry Baby, specially engineered to fit in perfectly with Joeﾒs system, from the way it looks to the way it sounds. On the outside, it sports a classy copper top with a smooth-finish black body. On the inside, it features large, vintage-style thru-hole components, a Halo inductor (for added harmonic content), an output buffer (to prevent impedance imbalance with vintage fuzz pedals), and a switch for true-bypass or non-true-bypass operation (Joe prefers non-True Bypass as it darkens the high end). With its huge vocal sweep range, this is one of the most expressive Cry Babys ever, and itﾒs Joeﾒs tool of choice to accentuate every soulful bend and bluesy wail. ﾓThe first pedal I ever purchased was a Cry Baby, 25 years ago,ﾔ he says. ﾓI am so honored to have my name on this pedal and hope it brings you as much fun as it brings me every night on stage.ﾔ
Power
The JB95 Cry Baby can be powered by one 9 volt battery(accessed via the bottom of the pedal), a Dunlop ECB003 AC adapter (ECB003E in Europe) or a Dunlop DCB10 DC Brick power supply.
