Dunlop unveils iconic IM95K Crybaby Iron Maiden Killers Wah at NAMM

I’m a huge Maiden fan - and it’s cool to see a CryBaby in Eddie livery. I’m not 100% clear why the Killers Album Artwork was selected Here. Like most fans I place Poweslave as the greatest Maiden album - but there are lists with Killers at the top. I much prefer Powerslave over Killers by some margin and for a variety of reasons - while there are plenty of killer tracks on both.

So Dunlop have borrowed the Killers artwork for this signature Iron Maiden CryBaby. The actual CryBaby variant is rather stripped back - there are no additional surface controls.

The Killers CryBaby Wah is a full size Wah - where I have always favoured the Dunlop Mini editions - and in particular the Plutoneium Chi-Wah-Wah which is kind of my signature Wah these days.

I would have liked a Killers Wah as a Mini Edition. I’m very unlikely to use a full-size one, so it would be a wasted acquisition for me - and too large really for shelf-ware!

The Killers CryBaby Wah is widely available now - where it goes for $230 in the USA, and £239 at Andertons in the UK.

Part of me would still quite like to own one - as memorabilia really I guess - but it would be wasted really - and just left to gather dust. I’m wholly against the concept of shelf-ware - pedals are to be played!

Very cool release though!
