John Petrucci’s relentless pursuit of the perfect wah tone has culminated in this signature Cry Baby pedal that captures the essence of his legendary prog metal sound. Based on his personal rack wah settings, the JP95 features comprehensive tonal controls including Volume, Q, and a 6‐band EQ spanning from 100Hz to 3.2KHz. This pedal represents years of meticulous tweaking and collaboration with Dream Theater engineer Richard Chycki and the Cry Baby design team to replicate Petrucci’s exact specifications in a single, road‐ready unit.
Factory‐set to John’s personal preferences, this wah delivers what he describes as a “huge and badass” sound like an “angry, screaming monster” with ultimate expressive range. The Volume control adds gain when needed, while the Q control shapes the width of the effect, and the comprehensive EQ section allows precise tonal sculpting. For players wanting to customise further, simply remove the bottom plate to access all controls and fine‐tune the sound to your own playing style.
The pedal comes housed in a sturdy, road‐ready enclosure featuring a distinctive smoked chrome finish and JP shield logo tread. This signature wah excels at shaping single notes with surgical precision or manipulating heavy, growling chords with equal effectiveness, making it an ideal choice for progressive metal players and anyone seeking professional‐grade wah capabilities.
