Based on an exhaustive study of Eddie's personal pedal.
The EVH95 Eddie Van Halen Signature Crybaby Wah pedal is a member of the celebrated EVH Signature Series that was developed after intensive design collaboration with the legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen.
Early on in the process, Eddie handed over his "holy grail" Crybaby—a standard Crybaby customized in the early '90s with a more vocal-like, High Q inductor and a wider frequency sweep. Amazingly, Dunlop found that over the years Van Halen's unique wah style, which uses mostly the middle range of the effect pedal's action, had carved his own curve into the pot's resistive element, making the middle range even more defined and increased the low-end sweep.
Dunlop's clones of the worn-in pot and hand-selected inductor give the EVH-95 the same "holy grail" feel and tone, and its true hardwire bypass, dual bright blue bypass LEDs, and graphics based on the black and yellow-striped guitar featured on Van Halen II round out this EVH-approved Crybaby Wah effects pedal with a voice and look all its own.
