Long before Iron Maiden became a global metal institution, their sound was forged in the clubs and studios of late-’70s London, where tension, movement and dynamics were as important as sheer volume. The Cry Baby wah played a key role in shaping the group's early sonic identity, adding urgency and bite to Dave Murray and Adrian Smith's multi-guitar arrangements that powered high-octane albums such as 1981's Killers. Based on the Cry Baby GCB95, this Iron Maiden Killers Cry Baby wah honors that era, connecting the expressive sweep of a classic wah pedal to one of the most influential chapters in heavy metal history.
A Classic Cry Baby Wah Inspired by the Killers Era
Built on the Cry Baby GCB95 Standard Wah platform, this Iron Maiden-branded wah delivers the familiar response and sweep that players have relied on for decades. Wah tones were part of Iron Maiden’s early sonic vocabulary, helping accentuate galloping rhythms, sharpen lead phrasing and add movement to songs like “Wrathchild” and “Innocent Exile.” The circuit’s straightforward, time-tested design keeps the focus on expressive control, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of rigs without altering the core character of your tone.
Designed for Pedalboard Use or Display
Visually, this Iron Maiden wah stands apart with a custom tread and finish inspired by the artwork of Killers featuring the group's iconic mascot, Eddie. These details transform the pedal into more than a functional effect, giving players and Iron Maiden fans alike a tangible connection to a defining moment in the band’s catalog. Whether it’s placed front and center on your pedalboard or displayed as part of a collection, the Iron Maiden Killers Cry Baby wah is both a playable tool and a tribute to band’s enduring legacy.
