The JCT95 Justin Chancellor Cry Baby® Wah is Justin Chancellor's signature Jim Dunlop wah pedal, which combines three of his favorite ways of exploring new sounds: envelope filter, wah and fuzz.

OVERVIEW

It's the perfect pedal for bassist Justin Chancellor's multi-dimensional role in Tool. Whether it's open chords or unions with guitarist Adam Jones, Justin goes beyond the traditional boundaries of his instrument to help compose the band's tracks. This personalized Cry Baby® features a U.K. Filter mode and a Wah mode, as well as a Fuzz that can be used alone or together with the two modes.

The U.K. Filter mode uses a custom solid-state circuit, designed to emulate the envelope filter on Justin's instrument's Tone knob: this mode offers a big, throaty sound, with pronounced peaks. Used together with fuzz, the U.K. Filter mode generates sounds similar to those of a synth.

If you prefer a more traditional wah sound, the Wah mode uses the classic Fasel® red inductor and the circuit of a modified Cry Baby Wah to offer a more aggressive and harmonic-rich sound. Even the Wah mode can be used with fuzz

Customize each mode with separate Volume and Q controls, switching between them by pressing the Wah Select switch. In each mode, the circuit of this pedal maintains the solidity of the medium frequencies by boosting your clean signal at 400Hz, mixing it with the effect as soon as you move the wah balance.

The fuzz built into the JTC95 is based on a vintage pedal made in the UK, and provides a precise sound while maintaining a full and rich low end. By default, fuzz comes into action only if you use the pedal balance. To use the fuzz alone, simply press the side switch

Justin uses the U.K. Filter mode independently, instead combining Wah mode with fuzz. This pedal allows you to emulate its sound, or to experiment with all the available configurations to unlock the potential of your pedalboard. The Justin Chancellor Cry Baby Wah is a must for bass players who love to experiment
