The CBM105Q Cry Baby Mini Bass Wah is a compact wah-wah effects pedal designed specifically to preserve a bass guitar’s fundamental low end while sweeping its mids and highs. It essentially puts the sound and functionality of Dunlop’s full-size 105Q Bass Wah into a half-size, lightweight aluminum enclosure suited to crowded or travel pedalboards. DDunlop+1
Sound and controls
Rather than thinning out the bottom end as some guitar-oriented wahs can, the CBM105Q is voiced so the low frequencies remain substantial while the wah operates higher in the spectrum. The external Q control changes the width and intensity of the sweep, while Volume sets the effect level; its sweep runs approximately 180 Hz heel-down to 1.8 kHz toe-down. An internal control adjusts the auto-return delay from roughly 35–550 ms.
