Dunlop “DIME BAG DARELL, CRY BABY FROM HELL” DB01B Wah Pedal
The Dime Bag Darrell’s Cry Baby from Hell Wah, is the ultimate Wah pedal for your touring rig, and with a black camo finish, Dr Wah says it is all pinky out, you gotta turn up to 11 and stomp it!!!
Dime Bag Darrell combined a cowboy’s swagger with high-gain riffs and squealing pinch harmonic-laden leads. One of the most significant elements of his sound and dynamics was the Cry Baby Wah, and at a time when Wah pedals had fallen out of fashion, (Shut your mouth). Dime flew his Wah flag high……. say what, Oh behave!!! Armed with years of touring experience that polished his enormous skills. He took his talents and helped Dunlop devise the most versatile Wah in their lineup: The Dime Cry Baby from Hell Wah. Work on this pedal first began some 20 years ago when Dime Bag and Dr Wah, long-time users of the super customizable Cry Baby 535Q multi-Wah, wanted even more freedom when setting up their rigs on stage.
Starting with the 535Q, Dunlop carried over its Q control, 6-way range selector, and adjustable kick-in boost. Next, they hot-rodded it with a wide sweep range for Dime to dig deep and fly high, then a control to adjust the pedal’s toe-down frequency, an extra output for splitting your signal to a separate FX chain, and back-mounted LED indicators to conveniently show whether the Wah is on and whether the boost is engaged. Finally, Dunlop replaced the standard rubber tread with skateboard skid tape so that your foot doesn’t slip on any spilled beverages.
