The Cry Baby Wah Wah Pedal

The Cry Baby wah wah pedal is a device that is designed to provide a tone-shifting effect to an electric guitar signal. The device turns 45 this year, so in honour of this awesome device's birthday, there is a film that has just been released about the Cry Baby's history, which you can watch below.
