DunlopCry Baby 535Q Multi-Wah Pedal
funkrock
1/9
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Dual-mode wah with adjustable Q and volume. For guitarists who want to dial the sweep character rather than take a fixed voicing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Funk rhythm work where a tight, vocal sweep cuts through
- Rock leads needing a broader, throatier wah than stock voicings
- Players who switch styles and want two wah characters on one board
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a set-and-forget pedal with no knobs to learn
- Bassists — the sweep range is voiced for guitar
- Small boards where a 5.24-inch treadle footprint is tight
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Variable volume control
Lets you match wah-on level to bypassed level, so engaging it doesn't drop or spike your volume.
Detail 03
Treadle footswitch
Engages by pressing the toe down past the sweep. Takes a firm push, so no accidental switching mid-solo.
Detail 04
5.24 inches deep, 2.95 inches wide
Standard wah footprint. Budget a full pedal-width slot; it won't tuck into a leftover gap.
Detail 05
Just under a pound
Light for a wah. On a slick board surface it can creep under foot without velcro or a strip.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Power supply and cables are not included
- 02Treadle pedals need a firm board mount or they walk under your foot
- 03Set the volume control by ear against bypass before gigging it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between this and a standard Cry Baby?
This adds two controls a standard Cry Baby doesn't have: a Q knob to set how sharp the sweep is, and a volume control to match levels between engaged and bypassed.
02Does it run on a 9V battery?
It runs on standard 9V pedal power. Check the battery compartment on arrival — no power supply ships with it, so plan on a board supply or a spare battery.
03Can I use it for bass?
It's a guitar wah. The sweep sits in guitar frequencies, so on bass you'll lose low end when it's engaged.
04How do I set the Q knob?
Lower Q gives a wide, smooth sweep for rock rhythm and leads. Higher Q narrows the peak for a sharper, more vocal funk sound.
