Chasing a Schenker-esque cocked-wah tone? You’ve got two choices: you can either fiddle around with your wah-wah’s treadle to try to find the sweet spot, or get the Dunlop Cry Baby Q Zone. This compact stompbox gives you a fixed-wah sound without the hassle of the rocker. And best of all, it’s a genuine Cry Baby — the tried-and-true classic that’s found on a gazillion pedalboards. Setting up the Q Zone is a lot like using Dunlop’s Cry Baby 95Q pedal. Use the Volume control to boost your effected signal, Q Zone to tweak your bandpass shape, and Peak to determine your frequency center. The real beauty of the Cry Baby Q Zone is that you can set it and forget it. You don’t need to worry about bumping a treadle, and you’ll free up your full-sized pedal for real-time wah-wah effects. If a cocked wah is an important element of your tone, you need Cry Baby Q Zone — it’s really that simple.
