Operating Instructions:

WAH RANGE

The Wah Range Selector knob is located on

the side of the 535Q pedal. It allows you to select

a tonal range that is best suited for your expres-

sion needs. Turn the knob clockwise for the

lower register ranges and counter-clock-

wise for the higher ranges.

By rocking your foot back

and forth on the pedal, you can

change the effect that the

535Q pedal has on the tone

of your instrument instanta-

neously.Toe down will give you

more treble; heel down will give

you more bass. The speed and

amount of effect you use depends

on your style of playing.

When placing the pedal in one posi-

tion, you will hear a boost in that particular

frequency. This boost can be used to add sus-

tain and create feedback of a desired overtone.

VOLUME CONTROL

By turning the Volume Control knob located on the left side

of the pedal, you control the amount of gain. Turning the knob
clockwise will increase your gain to up to 16dB.Turning the knob
counter-clockwise will decrease your gain to 0dB, or normal
throughput.

VARIABLE Q

The “Q” adjustment is also located on the left side of the

pedal; you can control the sharpness of the bandpass with this
adjustment. High Q is a very selective bandpass filter, low Q is a
very broad bandpass filter approaching an almost volume like
control. The lower Q settings have more musical quality and
don’t effect tone as much as the high Q settings.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The CRYBABY® 535Q Wah Wah pedal uses one 9-volt battery.The battery access is

through the bottom of the pedal.

The 535Q uses the Dunlop ECB03 Adapter (ECB03E for Europe), a 9-volt DC regu-

lated AC adapter. Plug polarity is positive on the barrel and negative in the center.

NOTE: Battery must be installed to operate the 535Q unless an AC adapter is used.

When using a battery, the life of the battery can be greatly extended if you unplug the
input when the effect is not in use for long periods of time.
