Dunlop Cry Baby 535Q Copper Limited Edition, (Used)

The Dunlop Cry Baby 535Q Copper Limited Edition is an analogue wah pedal engineered to combine the classic Cry Baby sweep with expanded tonal shaping capabilities. Its enclosure features a distinct copper finish, and like other Cry Baby models it uses a rocker pedal design to control the wah filter in real time. The rugged chassis and expression-style foot control make it suitable for stage and studio use, providing a familiar tactile response for expressive playing.

Unlike a traditional fixed-voicing wah, the 535Q includes a set of adjustable parameters that let players tailor the pedal’s frequency response and character. Controls include Frequency, Q (resonance), and Wah Level knobs, which allow adjustment of the sweep range, the sharpness of the peak at the sweep’s centre, and the overall output level. This flexibility enables a broad palette of sounds — from vintage vocal wah tones to more pronounced, aggressive sweeps — without external controls or additional pedals.

Hardware features true bypass switching to preserve signal integrity when the effect is disengaged, along with a standard 1/4″ input and output and a DC power jack for external power supplies. The pedal accepts a 9-volt battery or an external adapter, making it adaptable to pedalboard setups. The combination of classic wah functionality and enhanced control options make the 535Q Copper Limited Edition a versatile choice for guitarists seeking both traditional and modern wah sounds.
