Dunlop Dimebag Cry Baby Wah

Dunlop · pedal

The Dunlop Dimebag Cry Baby From Hell is a custom-tuned wah pedal featuring an extra-wide frequency range designed around Dimebag Darrell's aggressive playing style. The pedal delivers everything from throaty growl to all-out screaming highs, with a broader sweep than standard wah pedals enabling greater expressive range at both frequency extremes. The six-way tone control shifts the frequency range up or down to adapt the wah character to different tunings, pickups, and tonal contexts. The pedal features true bypass with fasel inductors to avoid tone-sucking, and dual LEDs indicate pedal and boost-function engagement.
