Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.29% — somewhat different

The Dunlop Cry Baby CBM535AR is a mini-format version of the 535 Cry Baby wah with auto-return functionality. The auto-return feature automatically switches the wah to bypass position when the player stops using it, eliminating accidental wah-on states. The CBM compact format provides a smaller pedalboard footprint than the standard full-size Cry Baby wah. Based on the 535 wah circuit in a compact mini enclosure.
The ZVEX Ooh Wah II is a sequencer-controlled auto-wah and tremolo-wah pedal, related to the Seek Wah, that steps a wah filter through programmable patterns rather than responding to a treadle. A 4, 6, or 8 step selector and individual step controls set the wah frequency at each stage, while a speed knob sets the tempo and a random mode adds unpredictable filter movement. It stays transparent, not sucking or coloring the dry tone, and the ability to set the frequency range helps dial precise rhythmic wah patterns. Each unit is hand-painted and hand-assembled in ZVEX tradition, so no two look alike. It suits funk, electronic, and experimental players wanting rhythmic, sequenced, and random auto-wah textures, offering pulsing, talking filter patterns that sync to a groove for creative, hands-free wah effects.
