Effects Pedals used by John Petrucci on Suspended Animation
Dunlop 535Q Cry Baby Multi-Wah
Avg price: $162.71
"I remember when the 535Q first came out, with the adjustable Q and frequency range, when we were writing the Scenes from Memory album. I dialed in the perfect sound with that pedal, one I’d never really heard before. We wrote this song “Home,” which has this big wah riff to it. The wah simply accentuates the riff, but it created a unique sound that’s crucial to the impact of the song. If you play that riff without the wah, it just doesn’t sound the same."

I remember this picture being posted on John or DT's official website, back in 2006/2007. They were going back into the studio to record their album Systematic Chaos. Also, the label on his Mesa/Boogie amp says "Dream Theater - John Petrucci" and the date.
At 39:57 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAFrAMvYlS8 This setup can be seen just behind him, but of course, it's changed a bit from time to time, which happens in the studio. If you watch the full documentary, you'd see the changes happening as the recording process evolves.
