Description

Dunlop positioned the CBM535Q-U Cry Baby Mini 535Q as a compact, pedalboard-friendly variant of the 535Q wah platform, built at half the footprint of a standard Cry Baby wah pedal. It carried the same swept-frequency architecture as its full-size counterpart while occupying significantly less board space.

The unit offered a four-position range selector switch, with positions running from heel-side to toe-side, allowing the player to dial in four discrete wah frequency windows spanning from a low of 270Hz–1300Hz in the first position up to 420Hz–2100Hz in the fourth. A boost control added up to 17 dB of additional gain on top of the 15 dB filter gain, and the bypass implementation was true hardwire. The pedal drew 2.5 mA from a standard DC 9-volt supply, keeping its power demands minimal on a shared pedalboard power unit.

Owners sourcing a replacement potentiometer, rocker mechanism, or power jack should note the compact chassis dimensions differ from standard full-size Cry Baby components; a qualified guitar technician or effects repair specialist familiar with Dunlop wah internals will be best placed to confirm part compatibility before installation.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
