Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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.
The Vox VRM-1 Real McCoy is a meticulous recreation of the 1967 Vox wah circuit from Vox (Korg Japan), designed to reproduce the exact inductor-based wah character of the most iconic Vox wah design — the legendary "Real McCoy" original that defined the wah sound heard on countless late-1960s recordings. It captures the distinctive nasal midrange tone and vocal cry that established the wah pedal as a standard guitar effect.
