All user reviews of 4/5 for the Dunlop Crybaby 535Q

I bought this wah because Crybaby was the only brand of wah I had continuously come across. I figured I'ld get some room for tailoring my sound with the tone-selector pot. I had just turned 15, and hit my farther up for it as a birthday present. He liked saying "wah-wah" and hence thought it a good idea to get this gift for me. I think it cost around $300 AUD from turramusic.com.au

I like it for the sole purpose I aquired this unit...It lets me wah. Sometimes it puts out pristine steel like angelic quantitys of wah tone. It can also double up as a frog burping sounding pedal.

However my flying carpet feeling is pulled out from under me when it makes my sound appear to be squashed out the backside of a hippo. This isn't nice to the ears of others nor to the solo that just started to go up a notch and thus collapsed to the sound that would find itself more at home in arse.

Exterior is tough and would protect it's guts if dropped. I've heard others refer to Crybabys as having some false harmonics. My Crybaby has false sounding tones that come and go but I HAVE ALWAYS RUN IT OFF A 3.6 - 12 volt AC/DC CONVERTER. Even though it's set to 9volts, these types of AC adapters ARE BAD FOR YOUR TOYS.

I wish I had researched more and found a wah with the tone I find my playing lends to. I like Quality but prefer sense of character. I would of liked to try a vox or a RMC wah. I have however found a setting on my faulty wah that gives me an incredible distortion tone. I give it a four because it could be your dream pedal. It's just not mine.

Ba is a wah pedal, basic, no frills, nothing editable. Analog solid pedal, jack in, jack out, supply and access hatch to the battery (very convenient). A knob has several notches to select frequency ranges, two mini knob to adjust the boost and the total frequency range used by the wah, and a button to activate the boost (20db I think it is adjustable through a mini knob on the side of the wah). A small LED ca was not refusing, but I quibble!

UTILIZATION

Very simple, the wah is activated via the switch on and balance the sauce!
Edition of its very simple, just one knob to turn and has enabled a boost when you want, the rest is the movement of a classic wah with your foot!

SOUND QUALITY

Ba is the sound cry baby wah, ca sends the sauce, it is expressive, what the legendary!
Frequency ranges proposed by the knob's fairly well defined, but honestly, I expected to hear the differences more "obvious", it was certainly different sounds in order to find his wah sound according to his tastes, but not a huge versatility either.
With the unit can be a good funk, even if it is cut for solos rather large rock or metal sounds.

Small flat, the boost only works on my clean channel of my amp, I do not understand why, maybe because it's digital (line 6 spidervalve 212), but basically the boost fulfills its office in clean ( not really my use), and distortion, ba ca me add unwanted noise and ca "dirty" sound ... pity it was still one of the arguments justifying my purchase to boost my solos ...

But if the level I was not surprised, having already had a GCB-95 under the foot. With my ltd KH-202 is the sound of kirky in his solos with my Bc Rich, I can touch has it all: funk, blues, big rock, metal.

So -1 for sounds not too different and -1 for the boost.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since February, and before she had the GCB-95. Specifically it is the same except you can change the sound and there is a boost.

I especially like the sound, but I have a bit of my hunger when differences in the sound knob, and the boost does not work on my distos.
The price / quality ratio is good OCCAZ, I find a new chouillat expensive, especially if the boost does not work everywhere.

But the choice I would do without hesitation to € 100 it's worth it was just "the ultimate" cry baby underfoot (I do not mean of course the model rack and there you can edit your complete his A to Z) to test whether the Dimebag version is better and if the price difference is justified.

The 8 / 10 is justified by the small disappointments mentioned above, otherwise it is good stuff.

Wah Wah standard.
An input and an output jack.

UTILIZATION

Very very simple to use. This pedal is in place, it does not move a foot of each action.
It is in my opinion one of the pedals with the best touch. Personally, I have not seen No better wah wah.

SOUND QUALITY

Indeed very effective, it is taken very quickly to Jimi Hendrix . L I use with my Epiphone LP Std and a multi effects pedal BOSS ME 50. Since Boss knows tjrs not do wah wah, I still use a cry baby.

OVERALL OPINION

I used the nearly three years. S certainly the pedal is a little more flexible in mechanical but is Always a pleasure to use.
Very good value for money.

There's here the + and - ... Say it is fairly complete in terms of real and rglages rglages whose changes are clearly visible. Everyone did a little tour. It's so serious and comprehensive.

CHAC batteries is fragile and crappy. There are different versions of feeds diffrent fawn with 1 or 2 9v batteries, a real gap in piles elsewhere ...

otherwise cahoutchouc which will stabilize stand in too easily and dampers switch in cahout also break too easily. I have a system that prfr beefier!

UTILIZATION

The rglages are fairly easy to implement and a lot of combinations are possible. The quarterly situs under the pedals are certainly not very easy hack for testing but at least once found the setup does not drgle THE FIRST okaz.

SOUND QUALITY

Sounds ptent well as clean distortion. Reporchent even when I tell them to cut the pointed and sometimes quite suddenly after a stroke position the top of the pedals. The return refund violent poorly and can sometimes lead peturb the game is as big Troux dynamics! pnible but rather used to it because the rest is really good pedals that allows trsrussis cry.

OVERALL OPINION

Apart from the problem of small vendors can now be rgls (I have one of the first model in fact) is a good investment trs, trs versatile but n cissite a little grip in some cases with extreme rglages.

Dunlop has quite a few wah pedals out there, and this is probably one of their more popular ones due to all the options. This is generally the wah I compare other wahs to thanks to its flexibility. The wah features a range selector which controls how much of a range the wah has from heel to toe, a volume knob and a Q knob which controls the sharpness of the sound.

UTILIZATION

These pedals are built like tanks. They can withstand nearly anything you throw at them, short of spilling your beer all over them. The casing is extremely durable, and you can chuck it across the room without much of an issue. About the only thing that occurs is dust and grime getting inside the pot, but you can just spray some contact cleaner in there to fix them, most of the time. The wah is extremely easy to setup, and everything is laid out in an easy to understand matter. This has a few knobs on it, so there might be a quick learning curve, but it's nothing bad. Just turn the knobs until you get the sound you want. The manual explains everything in clear detail, anyway.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is what most people want to know. First of all, this wah is not true bypass, so keep that in mind. They might have changed it since I wrote this article, but I can tell you for a fact that mine was not true bypass. Because of that, it did suck a little bit of tone. The things I really like about the wah are that it's extremely versatile and easy to dial in a sound you're looking for. The knobs have a good range, and there are some great options to choose from to truly get that aggressive wah sound I usually go for. However, it can get a bit thin at times, and it might not be as musical as other wahs out there.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a custom built wah, but if I had to get another wah, it would probably be this one. It's my favorite out of the entire Dunlop lineup because nearly every store has it, it's got tons of options, built like a tank and sounds good. There are some better and more boutique wahs out there, but I consider this the standard when it comes to comparing versatile wah pedals.
