JIM DUNLOP 535Q Multi-Wah Guitar Effects Pedal, Adjustable Boost, 6 Wah Ranges, Model 11537002001

First of all, I love the Crybaby 535Q and I recommend this wah pedal. I will tell you my wah pedal story. Several years ago, I bought a Crybaby GCB-95 and, even though I did not use wah very much at the time, I think it was in the shop twice to get repaired within a year. Fortunately, it never gave out on me during a gig, but it was only a matter of time. Finally, I gave up and just stopped using wah pedals completely. A couple years ago, I bought a Digitech XP-100 whammy wah, mainly for the whammy effects to learn how to do Morello's style. Since it has some digital wah patches was available, I started to use them too and was happy because it doesn't have a treadle that will break like on my GCB-95. The wahs were usable, but just did not sound as good. Finally I was supposed to play Alice in Chains, "Man in the Box" and the Digitech was just not going to cut it. So, it was time to get a real wah. I searched around on YouTube for demos and talked to people to see what they used. I chose the 535Q because people told me that they've never had a maintenance problem with them, and it is very versatile. You can get several kinds of wah sounds by tweaking the dials,and they have some great suggestions in the manual to get started. I set mine on the Cantrell setting and have left it there because I mainly use the wah when playing early alternative 90s hard rock styles. That setting works will in songs like RATM, "Bulls on Parade" as well, including to create the white noise for scratch DJ sounds. I still do not use wah pedals terribly often, but it is nice to have a reliable wah that can do whatever I need it to by simply adjusting a couple knobs. I think that as long as I need a wah pedal, this one will suit my needs in many styles, and I think it will remain on my pedalboard for years! It is definitely one to consider, and the price is not that bad.

I chose the Dunlop 535Q Multi-Wah Crybaby for several reasons. It is made by the those who made the original Crybaby, used by Jimi Hendrix and countless others. It offers the greatest versatility of any other wah pedal in the dunlop range. It sounds great, as evident by a previous version of this pedal being used by Adam Jones (Tool) to shape his unique tone, along with many others. The 535Q features a 6-way selectable frequency range knob, allowing you to use a range, from bright and snappy cry to a bassy growl. This setting can let you dial in the exact frequency range you want for your wah. This pedal also comes with a Q knob, for adjusting whether your wah is sharp and quacky, or more of just a frequency boost. Speaking of boost there is a boost button on the side, that you can kick on to get a louder signal (adjustable by the boost knob). Back to the Q knob, it adjusts the slope of your frequency boost, ranging from sharp to flat. Sharp = _/\_ Flat = _--_ When the Q is flat, you can use the wah for more of a subtle tone change, or if you want more funk, make the Q sharper. The pedal's construction is very solid, much more than the cheap plastic Behringer rip-off I owned previously (which wasn't shielded and led to radio interference - the Dunlop wah is a quality product and won't do this!) That's pretty much the pedal in a nutshell. I'm a tweaker, and I love it, it lets me be a bit more expressive for those long sustained solos, and it's great for controlling feedback.

EXCELLENT pedal. I've owned an original Cry Baby and pedals integral to foot boards (line 6 and VOX) and have to say that I like this one the best. Lots of variability with the different adjustment knobs. I was a little concerned at first because the "throw" seemed too short, or abrupt but I quickly got used to it. Like other people I found the pedal a little tight, but applied some lube and it became silky smooth. The tightness comes from the quality construction - super well made - nice and heavy AND a removable battery cover!! I used to have to take the whole bottom of my pedal to replace the battery. Great battery life as well. I've been using mine for a few months on the original battery. The overdrive button is super nice as well. I usually have it on, but it's nice to be abel to turn it off for cleans. ALSO I have detected zero tonal loss with the pedal placed in line. Highly recommended... was really curious about that Demon Weeping Wah though... hmmm.

I am a home player with several guitars and pedals and around 10 years of playing just for fun, no gigging. I bought the 535Q after buying the Cry Baby Classic, which didn't work at all out of the box, so I was little worried about quality control, but this wah is fantastic. It produces a wide range of different sounds, with a 6-way range selector, controls for volume/gain and "Q"/bandpass, and an overdrive/distortion switch. It's a lot of fun to play around with - I play more with it than without it now. It sounds great by itself and also really nice with a Phase 90 or flange downstream. Very versatile and the construction is solid. My only *minor* nitpicks are the small size of the volume/gain and Q knobs, along with the indicator dots being the same color as the knobs (black), so I have to pick the pedal up and peer at them to see where they're set and to make adjustments.

I don't feel talented enough to properly maximize this wah-pedals potential to truly incorporate it into my playing style, but it's really really fun to experiment. The two knobs to adjust the 'quack' and shape are interesting to mess with--still figuring out which settings to use and when. It's quite heavy in weight (that's a good thing to me); the action of the pedal is smooth; the mechanical 'click' to engage the function is nice and positive sounding; I enjoy that it has a higher gain mode. Overall It seems like a wonderful addition to my growing list of toys. However, I'll take one star off because it absolutely drains a 9v battery in no-time flat.

Very versatile, little ambient noise, sturdy, love it. The boost is really useful, there's loads of control over the tone and I love it. Had been using a Jerry Cantrell wah, which is great, but a bit noisy and quite dark sounding. Wanted this one for more variety and a more cutting tone. Love it!

Top Qualität -Besser als erwartet.. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Excellent, Thank you.

Excellent service, fast delivery!

While the primary function associated with the Crybaby is getting the classic wah sound, there is more to this pedal. You could get many variations of the "cocked wah" sound by keeping it on and experimenting with pedal at different positions. At full press, this could easily serve as a mid-boost to cut through a distorted wall-of-sound while soloing, and give you tones ranging from psychedelia to scooped-rhythm. For those who are wondering, the 535Q pairs very well with a Germanium FuzzFace, if you put the Crybaby right AFTER fuzz.
