Hey team!
I just got a great new toy, the dunlop 535QAR mini. It is ALMOST everything I've wanted in a wah, but it's buffered and it will mess with your fuzz / treble booster if you put it in the front of your signal path
I've always loved the tones from Dunlop wahs (except maybe the basic GCB95), and the 535Q was one of my favorites. However, I hate how finnicky it is to engage these wahs on the fly, and because of that, have often used other wahs with automatic engagement features like Morley or the Wahter.
Anyway, I thought that 535QAR, with the auto-engagement feature was exactly what I've always wanted. It's advertised as having "true hardwired" bypass. Whatever that is supposed to mean, it definitely has a buffer, and considerably screwed with the tone I get from my fuzz and treble booster until i figured out what had gone wrong.
I ended up just putting the wah further downstream in the signal chain, and it sounds fantastic! It's a great little wah with some lovely tones, and I do like having a buffer going in the front end of my amp, now that I've placed it properly and have fixed the buffer-into-fuzz problem.
This is my signal change:
Axe -> Analogman Sun Lion -> Wah -> Mesa Mark v:25 -> (FX loop (Truetone H2O -> Tuner))
Just thought I'd share. And I do highly recommend the pedal!
