The JP95 John Petrucci Signature Cry Baby® Wah is the result of the legendary prog metal shredder’s years-long quest to hone his perfect wah tone. For years, John used the Cry Baby Rack Wah system to tweak and fine-tune its numerous parameters until he found the sound that perfectly represents all the expression and intensity he needs. Recently, he and Dream Theater engineer Richard Chycki worked with the Cry Baby design team to replicate and further fine-tune that sound with a single pedal. This is a wah that, as John puts it, “sounds huge and badass like an angry, screaming monster with the ultimate expressive range-it‘s perfect for shaping single notes or manipulating growling, heavy chords.”
Factory set to John’s personal settings, the JP95 features all the controls he used to find his Cry Baby voice: Volume to add gain, Q to shape the width of the effect, and a 6-band EQ to shape the tone of the wah sound, from 100Hz to 3.2KHz. Want to fine-tune the sound to your own preference? Just take off the bottom plate and tweak away.
The John Petrucci Signature Cry Baby Wah comes in a sturdy, road-ready housing with custom smoked chrome finish and JP shield logo tread.

JP really has such a unique and strange tone. I've never heard a wah sound quite like this, I'm excited for it to come out and can't wait to play on it.
I agree! It's awesome!
he is from Long Island not New York City lol, total weekend warrior!
It genuinely warms my heart that Petrucci's finally moved into the limelight of popular music. Seeing him get his own Music Mans, TC pedal, picks and now Cry Baby is such a nice feeling! He's such an incredible musician but because the masses prefer repetitive and catchy, they don't appreciate his music; well all of that seems to be changing for Dream Theater and I'm glad!
5:01 sounds like what you would hear in a movie scene right when something epic is happening. It just crazy sounding!!
Need this.. Along with everything else with JP's name on it
I have a JP tatoo on My dick.Nah just kidding.
+tonykratos regardless, he owns it..
+Anthony Rose :D
If you got the money lmao
I've got guitar picks with JP on them :D Pretty good though
fellows, this is the best wah I have ever witness. It looks and sounds just right whether it's boomy low to semi open mouth to soaring high wah tones.
Is there anyone who can play as clean as Petrucci can with distortion? Sure he gets that crunchy tone and goes all out when he wants to. But once he switches to melodic mode or begins shredding, everything is so precise and clean, even when he's using a wah. It's nuts
He uses a chorus, that does help clean up a bit
+Rusty Shackleford yes absoloutly
+Rusty Shackleford Paul Gilbert's playing is crystal clean.
+Rusty Shackleford Guthrie Govan.
+Rusty Shackleford Jason Richardson
Just got this pedal in. Out of the box it has a very unique sound unlike any Crybaby I've tried before (GCB95 with red Fasel, Wylde and 535Q), very expressive and most definitely not very suitable for the Kirk Hammett wanking wah style. It's best to use it like John does in this video - slow and thoughtful. It sounds almost surreal like another dimension.
Man that intro... Is it even legal to have such mindblowing sound?
Truly One of the greatest guitarist...Salute!greetings from KK Sabah,Malaysia🇲🇾🤘🏼🇲🇾
to me this pedal is not just a wah, it seems like you can get very beautiful harmonics out of it. simply amazing
this is one the best wahs ever made I hate when people diss this wah
Just got one today and I've tried quite a few wahs in my time and none of them did it for me. This one did! And yeah it's the nicest looking wah I've ever owned as well! That part is a bonus.
this sounds excellent. great job john and dunlop!
This is the best sounding wah I have heard and seen produced in the last few years, it sounds huge, looks badass as hell and it just kicks butt, also, it is the signature pedal of John Petrucci, so I'm definitely buying! (I also dig the way that the internal knobs basically make this pedal a portable rack wah)
What an amazing heavenly tone his got. John is the best guitarist on planet. so perfect any time he plays it sounds mind blowing.
John is a amazing guitar player and the most kind and humble and laid back dude,
that sounds so fucking amazing
Amazing guitarist! His tone is killer!
I like how John used the wah to accent that legato tapping lick. It sounded way cool.
Wow, JP guitar, JP amp, JP wah...
+Xiyu Yang JP pics...coming next: JP action figure, JP beard growther, JP hair colorant. Stay tuned!
+musicmanpiezo JP gym :D
+Xiyu Yang Oh yeah,. forgot about that :D JP muscle grow supplements :D
+musicmanpiezo Legend says, JP's beard is a muscle for some extra crunch in the tone!
+Xiyu Yang JP picks
Great sound!!!
Absolutely Amazing! As Always! Great Job John!
i got chills while watching this...
Petrucci is definitely one of those guitarist who you can identify after hearing one note.
Damn it this is my next pedal!!
I love my Van Halen Wha, but this should be a very classy option. Looks cool and sounds amazing under JP feet!!
It can not just market better wah,fucking good
I wish somebody would do a demo of what and how the internal controls work and the different tones you can get. I know we could fidget with them but would be nice to hear how others have found some sweet spots as well. I honestly just leave it at Johns settings. Maybe some of the others can offer some tips and findings with this awesome pedal.
I keep thinking about this wah. It's literally driving me crazy.
Now we just need the UA-cam Psycho Exercises guy to re-do this!
(Deep voice) I needed a wah medal that separated the noobs from the good guitar players...
I want to download what Petrucci plays in the beginning of the video. It sounds fuckin' amazing.
Same here gonna download it and cut the amazing chat that I don't know anything about.. Out
Amazing !!! just Petrucci !!! great pedal for a great guitarist.
Wow sounds good
ITS THE BEARD!!!
damn I just looked up the price for his signature wah.... $200 for a wah?? That's nuts... but I do think his wah and Jerry Cantrells sig wah sound the best out of all the signature wahs for Dunlop.
Awsome Wha I have to have one. and that tune john is playing for gods sake release that please.
why couldnt we get 4:15 on the astonishing? i love the album, but that improvise part, or even if it is improvised, is amazing
Would be cool if you do a Dunlop Session with JP playing some of his solo songs.
That wah improvisation 5/5
El niño llorón que quiero 😭 para andar de Petrucci Leavers.
If it only sounded as good as it looks
4:10
Should have been on The Astonishing; could have developed into Petrucci's own Eruption.
Amazing! Som perfeito!
Just because Petrucci has been my favourite guitarist for the past 14 years, I almost want to not like something he's put his name on, mostly so my friends don't laugh at me for being such a pathetic fanboy, but, I have a few of his Music Man guitar models...why? because I love them, regardless of what kind of band I happen to be in (for the record, on the DiMarzio pickup picker tool on the website, pretty much every combination points to the JP Liquifire as the #1 choice for a neck humbucker). I bought a pack of the JP picks just to test out whether or not a new credit card was activated properly, as I needed something cheap and quick, and they've now become more appealing to me over my regular Jazz IIIs...I don't even like wah when used with distortion, and I love this! JP, how do you do it?!
But if his name is on it, it's top notch gear! That's all that matters!
I want to see JP do a commercial for JP picks!! xD
❤️ cry baby
Best JP wah solos: Voices, Beyond this life. (I was kind of hoping he would play any of them at the end od this video :(
I agree! It sounds great on his slow melodic solos!
Musicman guitar - from California
Mesa boogie amps - from California
Dunlop (headquartered in California)
.....
two points makes a line...
three makes a trend
+wakomaniac45 CONSPIRACY!!
What the!! Music in the background, is it a song? Or he’s just messing around?
I wish he teaches Kirk how to use a wah **😝😂😂
Wish someone will teach Kirk how to play guitar period!
And you've been play lead in the greatest metal band for how long? I've never heard of gmlasam so i'm guessing you're not that talented. Superb hater though! Bravo!!
A lot of credit for Metallica to be so successful should goes to James, I feel like he is the one who carried metallica to the top.
Mark America you can take jokes right??? U cant stand a simple joke . ofcourse i respect kirk but a bit of fun isnt bad . and even u gotta agree he cant use to wah properly
Xin Tan i agree with u
That's some nice ass background jam at the beginning... I wonder if it's just a jam or....? Anyone
It would've been nice if we could've heard the wah by itself without all those other effects.
My John Patitucci, JP 95 crybaby. WAH did not come with the Q ADJ adjustment knob, is there another version? I can’t find it anywhere.
The king petrucci
that was fucking sweeeet
shut up and take my money!!
(always wanted to say that)
The music in the back ground of him talking!! What is this??
what is the background music playing when jp is talking?
What's the starting melody at 0:10 ??? Is it just improvisation or is it a melody off of Astonishing?
+HarisDT Its just a jam
I am really fucked. I have a Cry baby Joe Bonamassa Signature and a Cry Baby From Hell, both fucking rocks but after this video I feel the urgently need of this pedal.
Anyone know if that Majesty was the viola or the azzora?
is there a name for the intro song he plays
Wow
just put JP signature on all isntruments, everything can be valuable,.
Mine has crazy squeal on high gain channel. How do I fix that
I wish that dunlop can gift me one wah....
how could people didn't know that john petrucci walking around them, I mean, they must be a popmusic fans, :v
i thought my sound is good....
How do you get that sound a cry baby 535q?
Is this steven's father
New York aka Manhattan is not New Jersey or Long Island where JP is from...proof he is a nerdy weekend warrior.
Songs? (at the intro)
Wtf, why do his shoes have screws on the soles?
+Fabián Riquelme They are ''shoe knobs'. They adjust the shoe's highs, middle, lows. You can probably be able to check them out on next year's NAMM.
Look like ariat Metal mounts motorcycle boots...
So delicious
Omg
Why the fuck the EQ controls are internal?
+Lonestar He kind of said it: he wanted it to be simple for the most guys. And if you desperately need to buy his signature, you can still modify it. I agree, perhaps not the best decision. But it's his signature wah, and he doesn't need the controls outside, so.....
who does this guy think he is, kirk hammet?
I love Metallica, but JP is shitting all over Kirk.
fuck man... I need mo money
yeah in your face
I’d really like to hear what you we’re picking without all of the distortion?
It’s great wah, but still I prefer my xotic)
Is that vinne paul?
he is awesome - but I hate the look of music man gats - sorry
i wish john would play what ever guitar he wants instead of music man. it'd be cool to see him play different types of guitars
Music Man is all he wants and ever wanted. Why should he change brands when they make some of the best guitars available?
Hispanics talk way faster
I would love to get the improv track that john played, it sounds ridicolous
first
