The Dunlop DB1B Dimebag Crybaby From Hell Wah is an aggressive metal wah pedal based on Dimebag Darrell's custom wah specification, originally designed for his specific heavy metal wah tone used in Pantera. The "From Hell" name reflects the extreme heavy metal character of the wah voicing with a wide, aggressive frequency sweep suited for heavy rhythm and lead. DB1B designates the specific black enclosure variant.
