Dunlop Cry Baby 535Q Wah Pedal

The flagship of the Dunlop wahs. A popular wah thanks to the tone saving true bypass and a handy selector switch that toggles between six wah voicings. Along with the six seperate voicings, there are two mini-pots on the underside of the unit to dial in the desired frequency notch or to boost the output by a whopping 26 dbs! These are a little tough screws to adjust while finding your sound but once you have them set you'll forget about them. The 535Q has the ability to nail just about any wah sound you can imagine. The punchy squawks of the old Voxs, the nasal shrieks of the early Crybabys, and the mid-range honks of the boutique Buddas are all just a few turns away. Add to all this a reasonable price and bullet proof construction, and you can see why this wah is on a ton of pedalboards.

This is an awesome wah pedal with a wide frequency sweep.

Visual Sound V2 Jekyll & Hyde

From its first appearance in 1997, the Jekyll & Hyde was the first pedal to combine two separate effects in one pedal. Now ten years later the new V2 Series gives the same great tone guitarists have come to love plus an added noise reduction system, creating the ultimate guitar dream! Each channel of the newly designed Jekyll & Hyde has separate controls, giving you the ability to use them separately, or together. The Jekyll Overdrive channel improves on the sound of the TS-808 Tubescreamer. With a Bass Boost switch and far more output volume than the original TS-808, this Overdrive far surpasses its predecessor. The Hyde side is a heavier distortion with more bottom end, a separate Mid range control, and even an internal Bass control. All of this adds up to one of the most versatile distortion/overdrive pedals on the planet!

Dimensions: 5" x 6" (126 x 153mm)
Current Draw: 22-30mA


This is an awesome pedal. You get both overdrive as well as distortion in one pedal. There is a good amount of gain. Add it with actives and your ready to shred.
