The Dunlop Cry Baby 535Q is a versatile multi-wah, often called a swiss army knife of wah pedals for its wide tonal range. A six-position voicing switch shifts the sweep from narrow and dark to broad and subtle, while a range selector spans defined low end to screaming high harmonics. Its Variable Q control sets the sharpness of the wah, from gentle, mild weeps to vocal-like, refined sweeps. An onboard boost adds up to 16 dB to drive the signal chain harder and push an amp into natural distortion. Capable of nearly any classic wah tone, it suits funk, rock, blues, and lead playing where expressive, customizable wah voicing matters.
Introducing the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah, a top-tier wah-wah pedal meticulously designed with top-of-the-line components to offer you three distinct voices. From the grunt of Colorsound, the signature vocalization of Hendrix, to the groovy funk of Shaft, this pedal is your access key to a wide range of tonal possibilities. With the variable Input Level control, not only can you fine-tune your effect but also incorporate an overdriven grit to your sound, a unique feature that sets this pedal apart. The Clyde Deluxe Wah is not just about versatility, it's about reliability and authenticity. Its '60s-style inductor and custom-wound potentiometer ensure long-term reliability while giving your tone a vintage character that's hard to resist. Adding to its unique feature set is a switchable, fuzz-friendly JFET buffer with a +20dB clean boost. The buffer circuit is highly transparent, ensuring your wah sound remains untouched, making it one of the most useful wah pedals on the market.
