Dunlop Manufacturing 535Q - Manual (Page 3)

Setup Instructions:
• Run a cord from your instrument to the 535Q’s instrument jack.
Location of the instrument jack is printed on the rubber tread of
the pedal.
• Run another cord from your amplifier input to the 535Q’s ampli-
fier jack.Turn on the amplifier.
• To turn the pedal off and on, press the toe down until you feel a
“click”.
• Select the desired wah range by turning the range select knob
located on the side of the pedal.Turn it counter-clockwise for the
higher registers, clockwise for the lower registers.
• The Boost Control knob on the side of the pedal sets boost with
the effect on.Turn it clockwise to increase the output.
• The Variable Q knob on the side of the pedal adjusts the bandpass
tonal character. With the knob turned clockwise to the high posi-
tion you have a narrow bandpass characterized by emphasis on
the higher end harmonics, turned counter-clockwise to the low
position, you have a wider bandpass, almost volume like in its
effect.
Where should you put your Wah?
• Most players put their Wah-Wah pedal before any time based or
ambient effects such as reverb, delay/echo, chorus, flange, and
vibrato.This adds these effects to their selected Wah-Wah sound.
• Distortion followed by wah sounds very different from wah fol-
lowed by distortion.The former (distortion, then wah) causes the
Wah-Wah to make a very overstated, duck-like “quacking”. The
opposite way around (wah, then distrotion) is much more subtle.
