- I have the the Original CryBaby, and while I like it for playing clean sounds
- and hard rock, it doesn't sound good when playing heavy metal or just really
- heavy stuff. It really loses its range under heavy distortion or overdrive.

- wah pedals, although they're a bit more expensive than the Dunlops.
