SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Run a cord from your instrument to the 105Q’s instru-
ment jack.
2. Run another cord from your amplier’s input to the
105Q’s amplier jack.
3. Turn on the amplier.
4. To turn the Wah effect on, rock the 105Q’s control
pedal towards the toe down position.
5. To turn the Wah effect off, rock the 105Q’s control
pedal to the heel down position or take your foot off
the control pedal. (Note: the auto-bypass feature is
designed with a short delay allowing the player to rock
the pedal back and forth without bypassing the effect.)
6. The Volume knob on the left side of the pedal adjusts
the effect level within a 20dB range. Turning it clock-
wise increases the effect output. Adjust this knob for
equal effect and bypass levels or boost the effect for
solos or cut the effect for quiet passages.
7. The Variable Q knob on the left side of the pedal
adjusts the lter’s tonal character. With the knob turned
clockwise, the lter emphasizes the higher end har-
monics and creates an extreme vocal sound. With the
knob turned counter-clockwise, the lter is more subtle
and a less vocal effect is achieved.

Congratulations on choosing the CRYBABY® 105Q Bass
Wah-Wah. Like all DUNLOP products, this unique effect
is designed to give you quality sound through years of
dependable service.
Designed by Bass players for Bass players, the circuitry
of the 105Q Bass offers more tonal control than any
other Bass Wah. Musically tuned, the 105Q delivers an
extreme, expressive funky vocal effect while keeping
the bottom and top end alive and dened.
The 105Q Wah pedal has our celebrated VARIABLE
“Q” and VOLUME control which allow you to adjust
the vocal-like characteristics of the lter and vary your
output level within a 20dB range. These controls, and a
special tapered potentiometer, make the 105Q live up to
the name CRYBABY®.
