The only problem with Dunlop wahs is that you need a versatile guitar like a Strat to get the cleanest possible sound (in this case, on a Strat, you hear wah and ONLY wah), otherwise its a little weakish.

I have a Dunlop crybaby, but the on/off switch on under the toe doesn't turn off. so its a no- bypass and doesn't get used much. So I wanted to try something else before getting it fixed or a new one and ended up with one of the old silver Morley wah pedals. $50 + shipping on ebay a couple months ago. That thing has a really touchy pedal with a wide range, and the volume swells at the higher treble, dies almost out in the middle and then comes back a bit at the bottom. It's unique alright, and pretty fun to play with, with a nice bypass switch, even though it still cuts some highs when it is off. I just had to ramble on when someone said they wanted the old silver Morley.

That's an easy fix if the MXR switch itself isn't broken. there's two thin nuts that hold the switch to the body of the pedal.

Here's a picture of the switch from the inside. Just loosen that little Nut, then tighten the one on top (the outside of the pedal).

Happened on my crybaby, too. For mine, the switch wasn't being depressed enough. So, I opened her up, and took out a washer to raise the switch a bit more. Worked like a charm.

Just make sure you get a pedal with true-bypass. The Budda BudWah Wah Pedal is the ticket. Vintage tone with improvements.

Dunlop Crybaby 535Q. All the awesomeness of a regular crybaby, except the sound is adjustable!
