Dunlop Crybaby 535
Just bought a Dunlop Crybaby 535 off a very good friend of mine.
Great sounding Wah - never had that many over the years.
I can't seem to find much info on it? It's not the Q version, this is all chromed out with an adjustable boost on the bottom plate and boost switch on the side.
The only information I did find was that somebody mentioning that it had a 6 way control on the side - mine seems to have a 10 way selector.

It’s the best-sounding wah I’ve ever heard.

It's great sounding, I was just looking for general info on it and Google didn't bring many results.
I don’t know why it’s not more widely known about or rated either - other than probably because it’s usually confused with the 535Q, which it’s not the same as.
For one thing, the 535 (no Q) is fully buffered, not true bypass or half-bypass like the other models. Or at least, the 4-way one is, I can’t be certain about yours. You can easily tell if you look at the switch itself, if it’s a PCB-mount one with only two terminals then the switching is buffered.

FYI, this model’s a favourite of Adam Jones of TOOL fame.
I replaced mine with a 535Q which was also extremely good, but I slightly preferred the 535. I don't know if they can sound identical (and maybe they do and my memory plays tricks) but in any case, you've got an excellent wah
Last one was a Morley Bad Horsie which I really liked, but this 535 is definitely more to my liking, tonally.
Not played around with the boost yet, possibly at the weekend when I get more time.
