The Mick Ronson Cry Baby Wah taps into the vibrant, melodic character of one of rock 'n' roll's most gifted songwriters with a recreation of his own personal wah pedal. Ronson used the Cry Baby Wah in a fixed position as a tone-shaping filter throughout his work with David Bowie and many others, and legendary producer Bob Rock — a friend and collaborator of Ronson's — loaned Dunlop's engineers Ronson's own early Italian-made Cry Baby Wah so they could study its singular sound. Using a custom inductor that replicates the higher frequency response and subtler peak of the original, along with tightened inductor tolerances, the fast initial sweep of the original potentiometer, and period-accurate low-gain transistors and value-matched resistors, Dunlop's engineers recreated the distinctive EQ curve of Ronson's fixed-wah tone. As producer Bob Rock puts it: "You place the wah, and leave it there, and that's the tone. It's all over every record he ever made, and I've used it on every record since I got it." The pedal is finished with a design inspired by Ronson's work.
