Decent

Sucks out too much of the input gain on the guitar even when the wah pedal is completely bypassed

solid wa, a bit fragile

small disclaimer before i write my review, i did by mine used

so this pedal worked pretty well, the main 2 issues i have is that a if the pedal is down it won't actually enter a nuteral state, so you actually need to click it off, and with no indicator light it messes with me and mixing sometimes.

secondly, i'm hard on my pedals fully admitted, but i have found the input for this system has become damaged and needed me to resolder it. not a big deal, solid sound but just some things to note

Best Wah For the Money, Highly Versitile

A lot of wahs on the market, especially early ones, were one-trick ponies as far as "wah on, wah off". Well, that's not the case with the Dunlop 535q Wah. The ability to change the wah range, 'Q' setting, volume, and the fact there is a controllable overdrive kick-switch to give your signal a boost makes this thing the Swiss army knife of wah pedals. If you're not into 9v battery-cycling drama, you can wire this thing for power. It has a typical stomp switch right on the very tip of the rocker plate that can take some getting used to, but I have to say this pedal is far from being out-classed by some boring wah of yesteryear.

versitile....but a bit much for my taste

the wah is essential for my style of guitar playing but this wah has a bit TOO much control. so much so that its actually quite difficult to find its sweet spot. i do however love the db boost! just put the db boost on the old vox wahs and that would be a supreme pedal

It helps you find the sound you want

It helps you find the sound you want but once you find it you realize that there is gold wah that can achieve a better sound. 100% recommendable for the first pedal.

From Gear Setup

Does everything from a drowned sound to screeching

Solid wah, it's pretty annoying to mount it to a pedalboard though. I cut a piece of triplex, glued it to the bottom of the wah and put the velcro on that wood to fix that. For me it has a little bit too many options, making me doubt and swap around settings constantly.

From Gear Setup

I have the original non-Q edition of the pedal- just called the 535

This wah is extremely versatile and durable. I have had the pedal brand new since 1993 and it has never given me a problem. Each setting has usable tonalities. The boost switch does amazing things for certain tube amps. It is really a quiet pedal in terms of noise floor. Even though it does not boast a true bypass in its marketing hype, it is not a tone-suck when disengaged. I have blind A/B tested this and could not tell when the unengaged wah was in the circuit or removed from it.

Fantastic wah pedal!

A while back--when I was still in a band--I bought this wah pedal because I needed it for some solos. Funny enough, my dad talked me into getting this one over the standard Crybaby. And I'm SO glad that he did. The Q dial on this thing really helps it stick out in the mix!

Shaft to Hendrix Wah Tones

The Q control can pull off the wah "honk" tone all the way to a wide sweep of treble and bass tones.

It's a great way if you are looking for a tone that's in between a traditional Vox and a Cry Baby.

Used awesomeness at Guitar Center.

The 535Q really is the Swiss army knife of wah pedals. I picked mine up used at Guitar Center for half the retail price. Love it!
