Effects Pedals used by John Petrucci on LTE3 (Deluxe Edition)
Dunlop 535Q Cry Baby Multi-Wah
Avg price: $162.14
"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."
