Description

Before multi-voiced wah pedals were the norm, one model rewrote the rulebook—and the Dunlop Cry Baby BB535 wah reissue brings that landmark design back to the forefront. Originally released in 1994 as the first commercially available modded wah, the BB535 introduced player-adjustable tone shaping, onboard boost and a richer, more vocal response than any Cry Baby before it. This reissue faithfully recreates the sought-after 1999 version, delivering the expressive, throaty growl, six-position frequency selector, custom inductor and built-in boost that made the original a cult classic among touring pros. It all equates to a single wah pedal that gives you Dunlop build quality, multiple voices, real control and the unmistakable feel that defined an era of modern rock.

Custom Circuit Design for Warm, Vocal Expression

At the core of the Dunlop BB535 reissue is a carefully engineered circuit born from years of artist feedback and real-world touring demands. A high-impedance input buffer preserves your guitar’s natural highs and lows when the effect is engaged, while a custom military-grade inductor—tuned to the signature 535 millihenries—delivers the warm, vocal sweep players still chase today. This design reduces noise, enhances clarity and places the wah’s sweet spot exactly where it feels most musical, making every movement of the pedal responsive and expressive.

Six Voices and Built-In Boost for Ultimate Flexibility

The BB535 wah’s six-position frequency selector lets you shape your wah tone from sharp, aggressive bite to deep, throaty growl, covering a wide range of rock, metal and expressive lead sounds. A switchable boost circuit based on the MXR Micro Amp adds both volume matching and tonal sweetness, allowing the wah to sit perfectly in your signal chain without—whether you’re cutting through a mix or pushing an amp into natural overdrive. For players who want one wah that adapts to their rig, their style and their voice, the Cry Baby BB535 wah reissue delivers the flexibility and authenticity that made it legendary in the first place.
