Dunlop Crybaby CB-535Q Reviews

Great wah

My first wah. Loving the wide range of sounds you can adjust it to.

Top

lot of controls and cool booster included. evergreen design and top sound quality.

Not good, here's why

Edit after 1 year:

The thing has began to make a horrible scratching noise, even when playing clean, so I reduced quality down to 1 star. Honestly, just get the standard one or the 60's or whatever; this isn't worth your money .

The "adjustable" wah-wah has maybe two good wah-wah sounds. the variable Q is a pointless control, the whole point of a wah is that you control the range with your foot. The volume is also pointless, the last thing you need is another volume control in your rig. The "boost" function turns it into a wah-volume pedal hybrid, but it makes your tone murky and undefined. There are also these little knobs on the bottom of the pedal that are confusing to use. In the end, this pedal is versatile, but isn't specialised. Just buy a normal wah. also, the adjustment knob makes loud popping noises when used.

Best allrounder crybaby u can get.

Pros : -Lots of options

-Battery or adaptor operated

-The sound is great

-Sturdy built, like a tank

-It is such a great tool for much more variety in your guitar

playing. A must have for every guitarist.

Cons : - I should have bought this 20 years ago...

An amazing wah! A classic!

You can never go qrong with a Crybaby!

It sounds awesome and the knobs on the side help you personalize your wah sound and tone. It is very versatile and it responded very good on bass as well.

You can get a large variety of wah sounds with it. It is a very good wah, and I have played, rehearsed and recorded with it for two years now. It sounds still amazing!

Great value for money

The different wah settings allows guitarists to play several genre of wah music. Tone is unaffected. Also very durable and built like a tank. Dunlop quality is really good.

This is a great wah pedal, you must try it ?

The operation of the effect and the various features are all very good. The "by-pass" (i.e. effect switched off) volume is much quieter than having a direct lead without the pedal. I find that I have to use the pedal for some songs that I need the effect on and unplug it for direct sound on other songs, as the "by-pass" volume is unusable.

If the "by-pass" volume problem could be corrected, this would be a truly excellent pedal.

Wah-wah

Maybe there are some better wah pedals, but this one is a legend. For it's price - quality of the sound is just perfect. You can get a lot of different sounds with this baby.

Pros and cons for CB-535Q

Hey,

First of all this is a very good wah pedal. Dunlop is very famos in making wah-wah's. And the new 535Q, i think is very usable and anyone could find a use to it in their pedal boards.

As earlier said, it has many tone variations, volume control and mode control, boost, which i personaly don't use, becausi it makes a distorted sond n my combo, which I dont expect from Wah. But some may find it useful.

I like a specific sound of wah on my combo, and many combinations of tone control gives the opportunity, which is a great + for this pedal.

Sometimes I like to use it as sort of volume pedal, turning the tone to narrow and vide, as it just disapears slowly.

On the negative side, I find that turning it on and of could be better, as it is for some other wah's, when you dont have to push it all the way forward, and when you do so, then it starts with shar sound, which I dont like sometimes.

But due to its features this wah has grown on me, and I like it very much.

Gimmicky Wah

I tried really hard to like this pedal. However, after 1 year I sold it very gladly as I couldn't find a thing to like about it.

The sweep was too short to be controlable.

The different types of wahs made little difference in the sound and were not intuitive.

It does suck from the overall tone.

No way I can recomend this pedal.

Versatile

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.

This is a very versatile pedal. The six selectable tone ranges and the "Q" control allow to mimic your favourite wha tones. The construction is excellent, with a well finished solid alluminium enclosure. It has True Bypass (I confirmed it) and is very quiet. The physical sweep amplitude is short, which is good for fast sweeps, but it it also very precise.

It has some minor issues such as the small size of the "Q" and Boost Volume knobs. The position of the boost engage switch implies that you can't have obstacles at its right side.

Also, if you want to use an angled power plug, make sure you use a 14mm long one because the DC jack is quite deep.

Crybaby wahs is awesome

The versatility of sounds from this wah are great. That's what sold me. I think anyone would be happy purchasing this wah. Cybaby Wahs deserves a good rate!

I found all parameters on the pedal to be easy to use & the sound quality surpassed my expectations. The lead boost switch is a handy little feature that will give a nice subtle boost to solos and lead lines. The only thing that I found annoying,as this is my first wah pedal,is that i thought there would be a larger level from the pedals fully closed to fully open positions. Nothing that anyone can't get used to though as I am at the moment.
