IRON MAIDEN's 'Killers' celebrated with JIM DUNLOP 'Cry Baby' wah

20-01-2026

British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDENhave been honored with a signature Jim Dunlop Cry Baby wah, a special “Killers” edition of the iconic pedal paying homage to the band’s early years.

Emerging from the rough-and-gritty streets of late-’70s London, IRON MAIDEN met the world with galloping rhythms, steel-forged riffs, and banner-raising vocals — and they never stopped. Their intricate multi-guitar melodies and unmatched vigor helped define heavy music, and the band remains a fixture of the genre. The Cry Baby Wah was integral to the momentous album “Killers”, escalating the tension and deepening the dark grittiness of tracks such as “Wrathchild”“Innocent Exile” and “Drifter”. This collector’s edition IRON MAIDEN “Killers” Cry Baby wah celebrates that sonic connection with an exclusive collector’s edition finish and custom tread inspired by that record. Whether it’s mounted on your pedalboard or standing at the heart of your shrine, this pedal is a torch held high for rock ‘n’ roll.

METALLICA‘s Kirk Hammett and DREAM THEATER‘s John Petrucci were among the first players in the world to get their hands on the new pedal, having been sent “mystery” boxes to open for their social media followers. Check out both clips below.

The Jim Dunlop IRON MAIDEN Killers Cry Baby wah is available now for $229.99.

IRON MAIDEN‘s last album “Senjutsu” came out in September 2021 on Warner records. It marked MAIDEN‘s second consecutive double album behind 2015’s “The Book Of Souls” which is the longest MAIDEN album, with a running time of 92 minutes.

IRON MAIDEN hadn’t released any fresh music since 2015’s “The Book Of Souls” LP, which was recorded in late 2014 in Paris, France with Shirley.

“The Book Of Souls” was the longest MAIDEN album, clocking in at 92 minutes, with lyrics heavily based in the themes of death, reincarnation, the soul and mortality.
