It's a bit darker than a normal crybaby wah. If that's what you like then it's great. If not it's still good

Nothing else to say about these. I enjoy simple and durable products and this checks all the blocks.

Great pedal, sounds like my original cry baby plus many other tone's, the boost is cool really pushes your amp into breakup, great for wailing wah soaked leads and funky rhythm

My first Wah pedal. I don't know how I ever did without it. Great adjustability to dial in the perfect sound.

Great little beast with lots of variety.
The footswitch balance is dope
And getting my hendrix on.

Its awesome.

Love the versatility of the 535Q; the fact I can get multi crybabies out of a single pedal sold me.

I love this wah. I bought it to replace my old Vox wah and am very pleased with the Cry Baby's range of sounds. The knobs could be better marked to help me remember level settings for certain sounds; otherwise, this is a gem

Well I finally made the buy on this 535Q!
I like it a lot so far, because the features work like I wanted them to.
Zydeco is what I am using it for now, and the range selection with Q works perfect.
One thing is that the boost button is in a good place if your setup allows access.
My pedal board doesn't allow access.
I would like to have a switch in the back position for the boost just like the effect switch, latching!
The double switching toe for effect and heal for boost would be amazing, i would buy that today!!!
All and all I like the pedal and the versatility it offers for all kinds of music.

This wah has been around for ages and was the first major optioned wah that controls centering freq, Q and boost level. All wahs after this have used this same extended platform. There might be "better" ones but that is all your preference for sounds. This can attain anything you will find useful in a wah and for the price is much lower than many speciality signature wahs that are much more one trick ponies. You can pay the most $$ and get an Exotic but again the same basic features but over $ more. I like the Exotic wah probably the best one I have ever had. I got another one of these the last time I made the mistake of selling off my pedals for the latest greatest one thing does all, which never works out really. Digital is a lovely thing and technology is ever improving but good old analog circuits just still sound better and a more organic tone. The 535Q is an industry GOAT pedal. Best bang for the buck! And you can adjust it to suit your own personal desires.

Nice build and easy to incorporate into any pedal board set up. Like the versatility of adjust the sweep and center frequency too.

Another great pedal from Sweetwater. Best service around.

More tempermental than a vintage Ferrari...
Landed in the garbage

I love the new Dunlop pedal it sounds great

The Cry Baby and Dunlop are synonymous. Solid build, operates and sounds exactly what you would expect from the original (plus a few innovations with this model!). As with all wah pedals it takes some practice to get a good, controlled response to the pedal movement so experiment with what works for your music. Not much more to state here - well constructed (built to last) and oozes cry baby !

The boost and tone shaping features make it awesome for every guitar and amp combo. You can carve out any sound you want from a wah with it, and its sturdy as always. You won't regret the sound you get with this guy!

Bought this pedal to add a little fun to my hand built cigar box guitars but finding the adjustability makes it a real game changer for my keyboard rig! Great for those classic funk sounds and even synth patches. Love what I can do with this.

Works great and sounds great.

Have always loved Wah, listening to it and playing it. Have been using the Standard Cry Baby (GCB95) for years. I work and record in two different countries and the idea of having to carry gear across the Pacific a few times a year is dreadful (baggage allowances are being limited more and more), so it made sense (for my back and wallet) to have a set-up in each country. Thus, I needed another Wah (nothing wrong with my Standard, it is a beast) and decided to go with the Cry Baby 535Q Multi-Wah. What a great decision: being able to adjust where the frequency is centered and to decide how wide the range sweep is opens up audio possibilities and allows for fine tuning; the boost function is an excellent addition too when you need that extra bit to cut through and/or soar on a lead ("I got 11"). As always, Sweetwater offers great prices, great shipping, and great customer service. My former sales engineer left Sweetwater to be closer to family a couple of months ago; Jordon Clohessy has stepped in seamlessly: his professional knowledge and friendly demeanor are great - plus, he made sure to familiarize himself with my situation and past orders. Great pedal and great Sales Engineer.

Great product. Fine customer service

Versatile and solid piece of gear. Plenty of adjustments to tweak the sound and a nice feel to the pedal action.

I got the "Cry-Baby" pedal for Metal Music. I find very versatile and enjoyable. I will try it in other genre's of music I play. It's worth getting by everyone. It's like having Chili Powder in your spice rack.

I've owned and seriously used many of the crybaby line up (with exception of the signature models [Why would I want to play someone else's wah when I can play my own?]), and I personally just can't get enough of this one. It takes no time at all to find, set, or change the tone of the wah to match the wah tone that is in your mind after you understand what the controls do. It's hard to beat!

I used a cry baby wah I bought in 1996 for 25 years and it finally started wearing out. It started making whistling noises when I turned it on. These thugs will last a long time. This newer 535Q has a ton of great features. Sounds way better then my older one. Has a bunch of cool features let you dial in exactly which sound works best for your taste. Deff worth the money.

This customizable pedal can get the exact sound you're looking for. It can do wah- ever you need.

Great pedal for a variety of uses. Works well, no noise and does what it is designed to do. A go to workhorse.

Sounds great. I have an older model that doesn't have the boost and it ran on 18 Volts. Poor thing just makes osculations now, so I got to get this new one that is much better, sounds great, and hopefully will last a long time.

Not happy. It is not like my old pedal and it was ancient. It had to switches. Depending of the order of the the switches pressed you could get Clean, distortion, volume control and wah. It was magifico, but it went to the pdael heaven in the sky. I miss it. I

I don't like this pedal because I truly am Jaded, and it is just a matter of getting used to. SO my issue isn't with that. My issue is with the complexity of add to board, however I discover a thing call pedalock for this pedal. once I get it I will update on the 1st pedalboard issue. The second is my power plug won't will not click into the pedal thus just falls out. I refuse to use batteries. so I have to send it back to Sweetwater and either get another or have them replace the power plug it and test it with a voodoo 5 ISO. So as it stand I can't say anything good. I miss my old pedal.

Love the fact that it eqs and boosts! Very versatile!

If you're like me, you probably spend hours comparing similar things before buying. Well, I already knew what the vox wah sounded like, Vintage and classic. So I wanted that and for almost 30% more $, it was kind of a "sleep on it" deal considering this over the vox classic... But this crybaby has so many cool features. It really is worth the extra money. The boost really kicks ...!!! I don't find myself messing with the eq on it too much but it's nice to know if you need to shape that sound to compensate for a particular rig, pickup or pedal signal/tone loss; you can. And the range selector is super useful. It selects the center of the wah range, perfect if you're switching between a single coil and humbucker, you might want a more "bassy" centered wah on the single coils, and a thinner, more trebly wah if you're rocking a humbucker and / or a lot of distortion. (Just my preference!) I find that very useful. All fun tone-seeking joy! SUPER solidly built and the battery compartment is easy to work, too.

The ability to tweak the sound you are getting out of this wah pedal increases its overall utility and value. A great choice for people hoping to achieve a wide variety of sounds.

Still playing with it but like what I'm hearing. Very happy with this purchase.

Went with this all time classic wah pedal;
It"s versatile, and has the right tones.

works very well, sounds great!

The Wah Pedal sounds great. I received it the following day after I ordered it. I am pleased with the staff and service I have gotten from Sweetwater. Thanks. John Gray

Great wah pedal, Shipping was very fast and on time. I don't use one that much, but works out for me.

I am a bass player but I love to pickup a guitar often. I was low on effects but one I knew I did not want to live without is a wah-wah pedal. I picked a winner. After a few reviews and videos I knew this "Baby" was for me. Over the top versatile. You will not be disappointed. Pay the extra $. Worth ever penny, best bang for your buck and many more cliches.

This is my first Wah pedal and now my last. Not my last for bad reasons but all good ones. Does what description says and to a tee. Built like a tank as all the features of signature artist pedals but you don't have to figure out which one you want or have to have. Nothing cheap about this pedal top notch. And Sweetwater service is top notch as well. A+

good wah sound my only issue, which does not agree with another review here, is when this is next to my pedal power supply the wah has a nasty hum when engaged. took me awhile to figure it out, other pedals do not have this issue. the wah has to be about 6 inches away from the pedal psu to not hum.
my supply is located under the pedal board, the wah was almost right on top of the supply, off to the right side. so either the wah or the supply could be shielded better. They both are in metal enclosures.

I had one of these for a year or two... or three. I didn't get rid of it because I didn't like it, I loved it. It got stolen and I'm only know getting around to getting one again.

All the adjustments are great. I found a setting I liked and just left it there, but it wasn't the mid-range choice. A couple of small items that kept it from being a 5.0 (although I don't iknow how others compared, because I reaearched Wahs when I got this one and was convinced this was the tone for me, others seemed too thin and harsh to my ear).

1) The plastic gear someone mentioned. I found this mentioned as a weak point in many guitar forum discussions about it. The de facto opinion was to just buy a spare before it went bad, since it would. Mine never did and I probably still have that nylon material (iirc, I'm a retired mechanical engineer) segment gear someplace in a box.

2) The main complaint (especially in critical reviews at the time) was it didn't "turn on" right. I had adjusted the height of the button when I got it, it seemed too low to me. As it winds up that's the fix. At the time, it was consistently coming out of the factory adjusted too low (about 10 years ago).

3) The two small knob adjustments. Yes, they're small and hard to see. What I finally did was just turn them until it sounded right... not caring where that was. After all, the sound is what matters, no? ;)

Other than those little niggling things (the height of the button seems to have been corrected since I no longer see the complaint; the segment gear never wore out of me and it's only about $6; adjusting to sound not the number is by far the better method anyway... unless you want to be able to quickly change settings, then you would need the numbers you have adjusted it too in the past for each sound) it's a great pedal, great sound, and as others have said... built like a tank.

First of all this pedal has the sweet original Cry Baby sound we all love, and also amazing flexibility...The ability to alter the sweep and Q settings really make this the only Wah pedal you will ever need....it takes some patience to experiment and document the settings you want to keep, but once you are there, you will be really happy with the results. I won't try to describe the sounds too much....there are some good YouTube videos including one from Sweetwater to demonstrate the pedals sounds and capability...but what they don't mention is that I hear no Tone Suck associated with this pedal....so you get outstanding wah pedal sound flexibility and really good original tone preservation when the pedal is off...what more could you want from a Wah pedal? The only reason I gave the pedal a 4.5 and not 5 was due to the plastic(nylon?) pot gear wand attached to the pedal and the pot....metal wand and pot gear would have been a 5 for me...I am a studio player so I am not worried about road abuse....you however might be... :)

I have to agree with the good things other people have said about this pedal. The tone is awesome and the ability to adjust the tone and range is also very awesome. However there's two things that really bug me about this pedal, and those are: number one -there is not an indicator light to tell you if it's on or off which is a real problem and has led to a lot of adjustments in my rig and then I find out that it's on and you know. The other thing is it will not hold a position there is no way to adjust the tension on pedal and it will always fall toe-down.

This wah sounds great and it's every bit as versatile as the Sweetwater description boasts.

I've found my happy place as far as the adjustment settings of the "Q" dial, frequency range sweep, and adjustable boost, and I don't stray to far from the settings that sound the best to me. Of course I do make slight adjustment changes when dealing with variables (e.g. room acoustics, changes in signal path and amp). The point is that the adjustments are useable, and with them you can create a wah pedal that is custom to your own personal preferences.

I really like this pedal and I'm happy to attest to its value, but what really inspired me to write this review is that I realized today that I've had this pedal for over three years now, and that's longer than I've ever had a wah pedal last. I play nearly every day, and although I take care of my pedals, this pedal is getting stepped on all the time and used aggressively, so that it's lasted over three years is a testimony to it's durability.

I have another 535Q on my Sweetwater wishlist just in case my current pedal dies, but like the Energizer Bunny, the one I have just keeps going and going.

I've been at the Wah pedal thing for a while-my first one in junior high was a Vox and it was "new". I own a couple of Bad Horsey II Pedals and previously those have been the benchmark. This year I'm concentrating on simplification. I found the perfect amp set up for me and I'm no longer using very much upfront. (68 deluxe reissue/64 fender concert set dirty/clean with a switcher). I've noticed of late that the more pedals I have upfront, the more degraded my signal is even using smart devices like the Radial Dragster. Anyway, I'm down to four pedals -A tuner, a Keely screamer, and a the mini Deja vibe.....and now the 535Q. The reason for the switch was the Morley is noisy when connected and put anywhere near the power supplies. Engaging it and moving it near the pedal power box creates a large hum. Not so with the Dunlop. It's dead quiet. I'm no longer using a noise gate-I don't need one as the Keeley is quiet and this is too. With regard to features-this does everything you could want. The six settings for range are very useful as is the Q setting. The boost is all right too… However I set it for its lowest point. Many thanks Matt Masek!!!

I couldn't be happier with this wah pedal! It comes with some instructions on how to set the pedal like different artist on different songs, i.e. Jimi Hendrix voodoo chile, so it gives you a starting point and from there it's up to you it almost feels like the skies the limit with this wah, also the boost is a great touch.
Plan on spending a lot of time exploring all of your tonal options.

Brand new out of the box, hooked up to my mustang iii amp, with a brand new battery. HORRIBLE scratching noise even when the guitar volume was at zero. Tried new cables, different guitar, different amp. I assume its the potentiometer inside the pedal. Called sweetwater and they said they would send me a new pedal and return box for the one i recieved, so hopefully the new one will not have that noise problem.

They built this thing like a tank. They put a nice stainless 6 position wah range knob. A nice anodized boost kick switch. And then they leave the 2 tiny volume and variable Q knobs. They're a little tough to see the tick marks on to really pinpoint your settings. Overall....not bad.

Works as advertised. Had problems with it working for about 2 days it just wouldnt come on for some reason, but then it did and its been perfect since.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect Wah pedal, for me that is, for many years, and I think I have found it,,,
Since I am a old school gear guy I thought the 535Q might have too many bells and whistles that I would not end up using, man was I wrong. This pedal allows you to find your perfect wah tone you have heard in your head, or on slash's recordings, lol...

Seems to be constructed very well, and should last an old rocker like me for many years to come.

I just purchased this Wad a couple weeks ago. It seems to have everything that someone would want in a Wah. It's well made, ruggedly built and easy to change settings. Most importantly, it's sounds really good.
Of course, this purchasing experience from Sweetwater was flawless as usual. Thanks Matt McKibble!

If you are going to buy a wow peddle, this is a good one to add to your EFX peddle board. I had one, (big Joe) before this that kept breaking, and paid a little more for it than I did this one.

My favorite wah pedal ever... greatness

Not only is the pedal great sounding and everything I wanted from a crybaby, the customer service at Sweetwater is excellent. Ordered this on a Friday night. With in an hour of submitting my order request, my sales rep Aaron had called and said that he would get it out that night so I could have it Saturday after noon. Sure enough it was at my house the next day. I recomend this pedal but only from Sweetwater!

There isn't anything I do not like with this pedal!
You will love it!
And no place better then Sweeth20 to buy it!
Thanks again..Sweetwater!

No, really. If, it's wah you need, this is all you need.
Just as it says. Dial in the tone and character you like, hit the boost to bring it up front and play. Easy on/off and when it's off, it's gone. Hard wired bypass. All good, no drama.

I've owned a cry baby for several years, but I never realized there was that much difference in the 535Q model. I was blown away by the unique sound that I could produce with this unit....

When I ordered the Dunlop Cry Baby 535Q Multi-Wah I expected a wah wah which was a little better than the standard wah wah. Was I surprized. This unit has more depth to get that deep rich sound like you hear on many major recordings.

This is the best wah I have ever used!! I had a high watt with the knobs on the side. High watt is now the 2nd best wah Ive ever used!! Ive used many brands, rare street brands even, and this sounds great, but the controls are what sells it. I love the options on this wah, subtle to long sweeps, paired with some visual sound delay and vox tube tone and BUTTER to my ears!! Just using this wah has made me a better player!! I recommend everyone owning this wah, wear a helmet so when your mind is blown its easy clean up!

My wife bought me a tuner I asked for a wah pedal...... I called Sweetwater and spoke with Mark. This guy is no schmoe.... Very articulate. He was able to talk about not just Dunlop pedals but a variety....detailing the pros and cons of each unit...I then had enough information about deciding what was best for me.... He wasn't trying to sell me up.... He wanted me to get the product I wanted....very cool.

If you are into cover playing.. this is it! the adjustable frequency range is amazingly wide, you can cover very sutil wah movements and very pronounced sweeps with a quick knob movement... Sturdy construction (as a rule of thumb for crybabies) perfect for on the road gigs.. the boost feature though.. for me a little complicated to kick in during shows, bottom line if you're looking for versatility.. the few extra bucks totally worth it!

Thanks to youtube Wah comparisons and reading several website testimonials I chose the 535Q. My band likes the sound and I apreciate the features. I had the old school Dunlop Wah and did not like the signal loss when I switched it on. The 535Q takes care of that issue and provides selectable Wha sounds, very simple to use.

This Cry Baby allows you to vary the frequency range and the center of it. It is very smooth to use, built like a rock for those who may play hard. I really like the volume adjustment and extra boost in volume. Thanks to all at Seewtwater and especially Keith.

I've owned one for over eight years and it's still going strong. I love the sounds you can make with this thing. I just purchased another one for my roommate who's new to guitar and I'm sure he'll love it when he's ready to spice up his playing. I've also used it with my theremin and that makes for some insanely human-like 'oww' 'wow' & 'waaah' sounds! I highly recommend it if you own a theremin and want to take it to an even farther planet than the instrument already provides. Of course it's also fantastic for guitar. I've never owned a different brand or model of this type of pedal so I have nothing to compare it to but it gives you so many options that you can get whatever you desire from it without being overloaded with adjustments. I play at home about every other day and I don't beat it up too much but I use it almost every session and it's been faithfully functional since it was new. I probably would've rated this 5 stars if I had something to compare it to. Definitely pick one up if you want one that can be dialed in to get what you want!

I've messed around with all of the settings to get the tone I want just right. And when I found that tone, I fell in love with this pedal. This pedal can make any "Wah" sound under the sun. From Alice In Chains' "Man In The Box" , all the way to Kirk Hammett's tone of "Wah."

This is my favorite wha. The Crybaby fantastic, you can adjust it to their specific needs and change it to make it sound different. Perfect even for large and magnificent solos. wha joe satriani used this for many years.

Like I said awesome. Everything you could want out of a wah, because it can be set to be just about any wah you could want. The only reason I give it less than 5 is that if engaged (Wah ON) it will pop or crack if switching either the boost or the wah range. Though I wish I could change these settings while the wah is on, at least I can change them. I couldn't imagine having a wah I couldn't manipulate to make different sounds like this one. AWESOME!

The Amp should go on last......
1 Plugin guitar after you wired up your whole rig...
2, Turn everything but the amp on.... check it's all running....
3, Amp on (standby) warming up......
4, Turn down master volume and switch amp full on (off standby)
No clicks, no damage....no worries....
;-)

The Crybaby works great you can set it to your specific needs and change it up to make it sound different it missed out on 5 stars because when you turn on your amp and turn it on for the first time (stops after the first time though) it makes a loud click noise and i dont think its good for the amp...
