I have this pedal and I've been able to get some great tones out of it, but just turning the q-knob make little to no difference in the sound. There's another knob on the left side of the pedal that controls the sweep, and this is where the tonality fluctuates the most
@ty2drew well the cry classic has the same inductor that gave the actual original crys their sound and toms that he uses was manfacted in the 80 s so u culd get a lot more of his tone
I am about to buy a new wah (Ihave had a crybaby classic for about ten years, it is almost worn out). So I am reading reviews and watching demos. Liked yours a lot. Great tone BTW.
What wah pedal would you recommend I get? I'm looking at this pedal and the Ibanez WD7...I've been told very good things about the WD7 and apparently it's a great wah for metal and harder rock, which I play. But, the Crybaby is a legend, and the versatility that comes with the 535Q is hard to pass up on...So any recommendations?
@severia123 Even though i can hear differences, the problem is that the guy is playing the same thing over and over, he should make it a little bit different.
It's a great wah pedal by the way, i don't regret buying it and probably never will.
@bfv102290 cause this dumb fuck is playing the same thing for all five. the different settings are for different styles not just. wahwahwahwah. lol this guy sucks
@bfv102290 The recording is crap you have to hear with your own ears and trust me the tone gets much warmer and plus on the left of the pedal their also a little knob that you can even get it warmer or brighter. It is the best wah ever!!! That why they call it the swiss army knife of wahs :)
@bfv102290 I noticed that, but from what I've seen that must be the tone he has dialed in. I have seen it run through with distortion and it changes dramatically.
@bfv102290 Each setting varies in frequency range. He is playing the same chords the whole time, you would notice more of a difference if he were playing lead in the upper frets. This is not a good demo at all. This is just about the most flexible wah pedal money can buy. Other than the rack mount unit.
Maybe it's the video, or maybe it just speaks to my relative "novice-ness", but other than the boost (which was awesome) the different EQ levels seemed pretty much the same. That being said, even though my impression is that the levels are too similar, the tone great and the boost, again, was awesome. I definitely think I'm gonna be seriously considering this for my board.
lol i have this pedal at home on my pedal board. i don't use it much because i don't do a lot of wah wah stuff but i usually leave it on one setting and just use it when i get bored. i'll have to go home and mess around with the different sounds i am just lazy. it is a solid pedal though.
the little red button on the side of my pedal keeps popping out, does anyone else have this problem with theirs? When I first bought the pedal it was missing but I had it replaced and it still falls off.
im having problems with this pedal, i turn it on and the wah effect isnt working. all it can do is just conduct my guitar to my amp. no matter how hard i try i just cant get it to work...help?
batteries? If the battery is too low then it only works limitedly. Or perhaps you didn't turn it on properly? Did you hear a click? Perhaps you should screw around with the knobs?
yeah i heard the click, have screwed with the knobs, and put an unused battery in there, its kinda old tho....i think ill go change it. thanks for the help
Wah-wah pedals accentuate certain frequencies, depending on where you set the treadle, obviously. This characteristic may manifest itself in harmonic overtones and feedback. Particularly if you've already got some gain on your amp, or if you're using it toe down (and parking it there), you're likely to get some feedback. Get some gain on the amp, and I would expect you to get feedback wherever you park the treadle. Add a loud boost to the circuit and you'll likely increase this considerably...
i got a 535q off of ebay that was used. it works perfectly fine. i got it because of a guitarist by the name of Adam Jones (TOOL) and his low end of his is CRAZY. The one thing i noticed about mine is that it doesnt have that i guess "red button" by the end of the pedal. Is there a difference? thanks.
(and according to alot people, justin and Adam's pedals have gone through some heavy modifications, so that might be it)
I hear alot about this wah and i want one thats worth keeping. Im set on this one but if anyone has a better suggestion as to what i should buy please tell me. And i already know about VOX and my cuz lets me borrow his so don't suggest that one.
look on the bottom of the pedal. when it's out, the boost is off. when it's in, the boost is on. make sure your pedal's volume knob is turned up some too.
If you can try this in a shop try it. It has a volume control, u can change the "Variable Q" and the range selector, that silver wheel. I have it and its a great whawha.
This has been my favorite wah for many years but.... the new EVH wah Dunlop is making knocked me out. I'd go for that & it definately sounds great on GNR!
