So I have come across a pretty good deal on a suhr riot and a crybaby gcb 95. 100 bucks for the both But im not sure how i feel about the cry baby, and i can't seem to find any credible reviews on it.

I have heard plenty of good stuff on the riot, and plan on using it with the clean channel on my evh 5150. the riot alone isn't a bad deal at 100$ But i can always get a joyo clone for 30 bucks, so if the wahs a dud i'm kinda tempted to pass.

I'm planning on meeting this guy after i get off work, any opinions?

The GCB-95 is just your normal, run of the mill Crybaby. I used it for years quite happily and only switched to the 95Q because I don't like the toe-down-stomp activation of your normal wah pedal.
 
Just so you know, I wouldn't call the joyo version a direct copy. There's a good bit of difference between the 2. it's close, but kind of has it's own thing going on. A/B'd it to my neighbors Riot, and the Riot won by a good margin tone-wise. Not that the Joyo is bad. just not the same.

Been using a GCB95 for at least 25 years. Sure, there's better, but it has served my wah needs without issue.

Yeah, i figured they would vary a bit and i sure don't mind looking down at SUHR instead of joyo. I guess im gonna jump on it and snag them up! Thanks guys
 
Ya, that's a pretty good deal if both are functional imo.
 
Was a great deal the riot was in mint condition with the box!turns out the cry baby was already modded as well, fitted with a true bypass and a led.
