New Signature Cry Baby Pedals From Dunlop!
It’s a trio of signature models Jim Dunlop’s iconic Cry Baby for 2025. First up, a colourful number honouring the late Mick Ronson, long-time Bowie collaborator and renowned English guitarist whose vintage wah was a crucial component of his sound. At the other end of the spectrum, Sepultura’s Andreas Kisser celebrates 40 years of the Brazilian metal outfit with his own signature wah. Finally, it wouldn’t be a Cry Baby release without Kirk Hammett’s name coming up – the Metallica axeman gets possibly the yellowest pedal we’ve ever seen, tuned for a ferocious midrange & top-end for his free-flowing shred style. Master!
More from Strandberg and even more from Jacob Collier
At last year’s NAMM we were lucky to meet Ola Strandberg himself, and were spellbound by their trendsetting headless designs and ethos. So much so that we decided to become a UK Strandberg dealer. Their stand this year is just as exciting, displaying some of their most talked-about signature models and a few unseen releases. The colourful Jacob Collier Djesse (naturally including a 5-string variant) was a particular talking point, though exclusively available direct with Stranderg. We’re also huge fans of the new Boden Futur Archetype models, featuring a gorgeous racing green finish and true-temperament frets. It’ll be another exciting year for the ‘Berg!
