Dunlop 535Q Cry Baby Multi-Wah

The very first pedal in this chain is a multi-wah by Dunlop.

"I remember when the 535Q first came out, with the adjustable Q and frequency range, when we were writing the Scenes from Memory album. I dialed in the perfect sound with that pedal, one I’d never really heard before. We wrote this song “Home,” which has this big wah riff to it. The wah simply accentuates the riff, but it created a unique sound that’s crucial to the impact of the song. If you play that riff without the wah, it just doesn’t sound the same."

Used from the 1990s until 2011, when it replaced by the Vox Big Bad Wah. According to Guitar Geek, Satriani used a 535Q for his 2000 rig, among other wahs. It can be seen up close in [this live performance of "Surfing with the Alien"](https://youtu.be/d_0khAAItqg?t=57s) from *Satriani LIVE!* at 0:57, it was used on *Joe Satriani* (as is visible in [the documentary *Reel* starting at 4:16](https://youtu.be/wFbVSpjV2po?t=256)) and was featured in a Dunlop ad (which can be found on page 32 of the [June 1999 issue of *Guitar Player*](http://cranberriesworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/1999.06.xx-Guitar-Player.pdf)).

The only pedal I had out on stage was my Dunlop 535Q wah ( although later I replaced that with a Dunlop remote wah ), and my guitar tech actually operated the pedals in the drawer, and the big stereo delays from the Intellifex, and channel switching, by hand with the foot controller. If you look at live footage from the period, you’ll see me stomping around a lot.

According to Reverb's website, his current list of pedals also includes the Dunlop 535Q multi-wah, which was later replaced with RMC wah.

"On the left is the Dunlop univibe speed controller, next is a Dunlop 535Q wah. Then my ts9/808, then an old TS-808. Roy is holding a Line 6 delay pedal. Next is a Roger Mayer Octavia. The other box is a switchbox or "snuff box" which allows KWS to kill the guitar signal to the amp and send it to the tuner only."

In the following interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEVu7WTeQHw&t=55s) Chris Leahe (Tool's guitar tech, now deceased) seems to affirm that Adam has a Dunlop 535Q Cry Baby Multi-Wah. However, in the following photo (https://www.reddit.com/r/guitarpedals/comments/6jbcz3/adam_jones_tool_2017_pedalboard/) it can be seen that Adam's Wah has a Rubber Control Knob Cover on the right side of his Wah. This is a distinctive feature of the Dunlop Crybaby BB-535. If this was a 535Q then you would be able to see a thinner, metal, silver control knob. In the afformentioned interview Chris also makes a comment saying that '[the wah pedal adam uses] is very difficult to get a hold of these days]' this comment doesn't make sense if he is talking about the 535Q model which is mass produced and readily availiable to this day. The BB-535 model, however, was discontinued and isn't even listed on Wikipedia's Cry Baby model list: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunlop_Cry_Baby#Models). It seems much more likely, therefore, that Adam uses a BB-535 and not a 535Q.

At 19:59 in this video, Larry Carlton talks about his wah pedal stating, "Yeah, next we have just a Cry Baby Wah Wah. Nothing special about it. I like having it there for the once in awhile time that I'm I might want to do that."

Robert Randolph talks about his Crybaby 535Q in this video interview from Premier Guitar. At 4:21, he says “Well the kind of wah I’m using is a Cry Baby 535Q. I got some secret tweaks on it though to make it really cry, you know. Nobody was even hardly using this pedal before I started using it man.”

The knob on the side controls the voicing of the pedal. Mine is broken at the moment, but I’m gonna fix it, because I like the different sounds it gets. I have used it a lot in the studio.

Today I use a simple pedalboard that Dave Wilkerson from Techstar built for me. It is loaded with an Ernie Ball volume pedal, a **Cry Baby 5350 wah**, Boss DD-3 Digital Delay, MXR DynaComp, Boss GE-7 Equalizer, Boss Chromatic Tuner, Voodoo Lab Tremolo and Sparkle Drive, and last but not least, the good, old T.C. Electronic Stereo Chorus.
