I have the $70 Crybaby and it's not worth the money if you ask me. It's broken down a few times and the range seems limited. I would stay away from it if at all possible.

Jimi used the Vox Clyde McCoy Wah.

I bought a Dunlop Wylde Wah ZW-45 Cry Baby today.
Great sound, very '60s and built like a tank.

has anyone tried the Dunlop 535q (or whatever it's called) Crybaby?....Supposedly you can shape your wah to your personal requirements.

I have a Morley. Was attracted by the low price, but the pedal doesn't have enough range.

Obtaining a bluesy sound is more a question of technique, then a given wah pedal. That being said; I use a Dunlop Rack Cry Baby with my rack and both a Morley Power Wah and Bad Horsey II. The rack based wah can take you anywhere you want wah tone wise. For plug in and play applications, the Morleys are hard to beat for their wide range.
But again it is technique that will take you to "that tone".

I use it. It's awesome. It's like having a bunch of wah pedals in one. You can shape its sound to your preference.

It's not confusing at all if you just stop caring what Jimi and SRV did. I mean, I don't give a flip how or what they played, and my mind is clear as a bell.

You know that as a musicans, we all have influences, however, the fact of the matter is that you have to find your own sound, not just "worship" somebody else's sound. The best thing you can do is sit back and think about what kind of sound it is that you want and what you have to do to get there. It doesn't matter what anybody says or does, just whether or not your sound satisfies you.

I have a VOX V847 wah and like it, though use it sparingly. :)
Find playing, chewing gum and trying to use the pedal makes me fall over :D


The sound is greatly affected by what else is in the signal path and the amp it is driving.

SRV is still my top favorite player and
wickpedia implies he mostly used a tube screamer a vox wah.

However other sites list completely different manufacturers :)
Would be interesting to know what he really used.

I use my bro's Dimebag sig crybaby all the time.
It has great adjustability on it (though I'm not the Wah-master...)

I use the Vox and the Dunlop CryBaby. The pedal was accidentally invented by a Vox engineer when he was trying to make a tone pedal for the Super Beatle amp. I quite certain that Dunlop makes the Vox unit today. Just be sure that the wah has a Fasel inductor. That way, when you play, you won't even need chewing gum but you'll want to chew it anyway ???????????? When you get one you'll know what I mean!

Good advise! I forgot about that. I have a busted one sitting in the corner gathering dust too. Now that you mention it, I am quite disappointed with the inferior quality of the Crybaby... just don't know how else you can get the same tone... perhaps Snarling Dogs but I think they may be out of business.

The point is, blues comes from inside you, and whatever you use to get those sounds out and what you want them to sound like is strictly up to you. I agree, there is no exact equipment for making blues, the blues is your own recipe. There's just always been basically the same tones and styles for it.

I play blues, but I sure don't use my Wah to do it cause that sound is far from what I want my blues to sound like. In fact I have no use for a Wah anymore, my Wah, Dallas Arbiter fuzz and Tubescreamer are on craigslist right now, I haven't used them in years so I'm gonna get rid of'em. But I'll still be able to play the blues with no problem.

To me the blues is a strat, a bassman or deluxe and lot's of soul. Simple, pure.
