Dunlop BB535R Cry Baby BB535 Wah Reissue
Dunlop · pedal
The Dunlop BB535R Cry Baby BB535 Wah Reissue revives a growling, mid-heavy 90s rock wah voicing, with a velvety, warm, vocal character especially in the middle and low frequencies thanks to its inductor choice. Six distinct wah voices span everything from snappy vintage funk and classic rock sweep to the snarling, mid-forward wah tones that defined 90s rock, letting players dial in a specific era's character rather than one fixed voicing. An adjustable, switchable boost circuit based on the MXR Micro Amp lets players match their guitar's output and volume to the wah for a more consistent feel.
