Crybaby CB-535Q : Versatile

12 years ago

I've been using this wah pedal for a few years, so I have become quite familiar with it.

The booster can be powerful, depending on the setting on the knob. Comes in handy when you don't want full overdrive, just some crunch.

Q control can transform this pedal almost into a volume pedal, on the minimum setting the difference in timbre between open and closed is small, but zero volume isn't achievable, so it's not exactly a volume pedal substitute. When Q is set to maximum, playing in low range (low E - A) will result in very strong harmonics, which overpower the fundamental frequency.

The pedal is built very sturdy, the booster button and the knob for 6 different wahs can (are meant to) be set using your foot during playing.
