OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WAH

By rocking your foot back and forth on the pedal, you
can instantly change the effect that the CRYBABY has
on your tone. Toe down will give you more treble,
heel down will give you more bass. Play with different
speeds and depths to find a wah tone and rhythm that
suits the music you’re playing.

By holding the pedal steady in one position, you’ll hear a
boost in one particular frequency range. This “dynamic
tone control” can be a very useful effect to add sustain,
or create feedback at a desired overtone.

AUTO-OFF SWITCHING

As soon as you lift your foot from the pedal (the Heel
Down position), the effect is silently switched off and
the pedal is automatically placed in “bypass” mode. In
this mode, both the effect and the preset volume boost
are switched off. (Note: There is an intentional delay
built into the “auto-off” switching, to allow you to use
the full range of the pedal’s travel without turning off the
effect or the preset volume boost.)

VARIABLE Q & VOLUME CONTROLS

On the left side of the 95Q you’ll find two black knobs.
The bottom plate will tell you which knob is the Variable
Q and which is the Volume Boost.

The Variable Q control modulates the intensity of the
wah effect by adjusting the wah’s bandwidth. “High”
gives a narrow, sharp peak to the affected frequency
range; while “Low” delivers a more subtle wah by
spreading the effect over a broader range.

The Volume knob is a BOOST ONLY device that adds up
to 15dB gain to your signal while the CRYBABY effect is
in use. Turning Volume to its lowest setting will not shut
off your signal, it simply adds no boost.
