Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Dunlop Cry Baby 535Q Multi-Wah is the Swiss Army Knife of wah pedals, released in 1994 with six selectable wah frequency ranges, a variable Q control for adjusting filter resonance width, a boost button for added volume, and an adjustable boost level. The six frequency range modes allow players to choose from classic wah sounds to more vocal, pronounced, or subtle sweep characters. This unprecedented level of control makes the 535Q the most adjustable Cry Baby in the lineup.
The Dunlop Colored Crybaby Tread is a cosmetic variant of the Dunlop Cry Baby GCB95 wah pedal, featuring a colored rubberized tread grip surface on the rocker for enhanced visual appeal and foot traction. The underlying circuit is the classic Cry Baby GCB95 with its characteristic mid-forward frequency sweep. The colored tread finish differentiates it visually without altering the circuit or tonal performance. The GCB95 wah is one of the most widely used wah pedals in rock history, valued for its vocal, expressive mid-hump sweep.
