The CRYBABY ® 535 SERIES is the premier edition of the
CRYBABY series. Its rugged construction and efficient design
will give years of outstanding performance. While based on the
CRYBABY which has been a standard in the world of music
since its introduction in the late 1960's, the CRYBABY ® 535
SERIES has an added variable gain up to +11dB and a special
warmer inductor, making it the most powerful addition to our
CRYBABY line.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WAH
By turning the 6 position Range Selector Knob on the side of
the pedal, you can select the wah range you want to use.
Turn the knob all the way counter-clockwise or toward the heel
of the pedal until it stops.This is HIGH (like the sound you hear
from the Original Crybaby pedal). Turning the knob clockwise
toward the toe of the pedal will lower the wah range to
MID/HIGH, then MID (like the vintage pedals), then
MID/LOW, then LOW, then BASS. At the BASS selection, the
knob will be all the way forward.
By rocking your foot back and forth on the pedal, you can
change the effect that the CRYBABY has on the tone of your
instrument instantaneously. Toe down will give you more treble,
heel down will give you more bass. The speed and amount of
effect you use depends on your style of playing.
When placing the pedal in one position, you will hear a boost
in that particular frequency. This boost can be used to add
sustain and create feedback of a desired overtone.
BOOST
By turning the knob located in the base plate of the pedal, you
control the amount of gain. Turning the knob in a clockwise
direction will increase your gain to up to +11dB. Turning the
knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease your gain to
0dB, or normal throughput.
TIPS
Listen to the classic recordings of Jimi Hendrix and Eric
Clapton. CRYBABY is used extensively. After listening to the
sound you will begin to recognize the CRYBABY in just about
every rock players repertoire.
When using a lot of distortion, the effect will not be as
prominent. Try setting the pedal in one position. This will help
in making artificial harmonics and controlling the amount of
feedback.
