Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Dunlop DB-01 Dime Cry Baby From Hell.

Features and functionality

  • The DB01b model includes frequency sweep modifications, offering more versatile tonal options compared to its predecessor.

    Source
  • Dunlop confirmed the DB02 has a unique frequency range, with heel down at 250Hz-350Hz and toe down at 1.5KHz, differing from the DB01 configurations.

    Source
  • The DB-01B model retains the buffered design, unlike the true bypass design of the Dunlop 535Q, affecting signal path and tone clarity.

    Source
  • The pedal is buffered, allowing placement flexibility in the signal chain but may complicate use with certain fuzz pedals due to impedance issues.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The frequency sweep on the DB01 selections 4 and 5 closely match Dimebag's preferred settings on the elusive DB02.

    Source
  • The DB-01B and original camo DB-01 are identical in specs and operation, differing only in paint job, not functionality.

    Source
  • Described as an upgraded version of the 535Q, with a finetune knob offering additional sound customization.

    Source

User experience

  • The DB01 is still recommended for those seeking Dimebag's tone, suggesting a dedicated following for Pantera enthusiasts.

    Source
  • Owners mention a narrow range of settings, with some feeling it doesn't achieve the "screaming" tonality Dimebag intended.

    Source

Build quality

  • The DB-01B retains the same switches and dials as the original model, providing consistent functionality despite the change in color scheme.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Internal switch near the inputs may provide options for range enhancements, though details on modifications remain scarce.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • First-time wah users appreciate its suitability for solos and improvisation, finding it a solid introductory pedal.

You can't ask for more.

I always used wah pedals, since I started playing guitar, 33 years ago. Don't think this is a wah just for metal heads, this can be used on a lot of music genres. Not the easiest to dial in, you have to spend some time with it, to achieve the best results. If you don't have patience, don't buy it. But it's a fantastic sounding wah pedal, once you learn to use it. I love the tones you can get, and I love the boost button on the side of the pedal: you can engage it even when you're playing in a live situation, and it has a lot of boost, it's like a built in MXR Micro amp. It's very heavy, but it never breaks, and it has a good rocking excursion. Never been a crybaby fan, but this is different. From Jimi to Dimebag, and all in between!

Brilliant but never harsh sounding wah

No need to tell much about Dunlop Wah Wah pedals. Almost every serious guitar player has used one someday.

This Dimebag Darell signature model offers a wide frequence range; a 5-way-switch to choose between them, an adjustable boost for guitar solos and a Q-Regulator like a parametric EQ for the width of the boosted sound area. You can create all kinds of wah sounds, to me they all sound pretty good.

As a bonus the pedal ist very stable.

Top versatility for a wah

The main advantage of this pedal is the amount of fine tuning you can dial to make it sing along your other overdrives and distortions.

So many options, it's actually not ideal for a first wah pedal. But if you want your first wah to last yo a lifetime and will fit any wah job under any setting, this is it. But don't be mistaken; it sounds great out of the box and everything at 12 o'clock will give you a very lush and trebly sound.

I had to sell it due to Covid and am now looking for a used mini 535Q, and if it's half as versatile as the CFH I'll be more than happy.

The cutting edge of Dime Bag Darrell in the Cowboys From Hell, WhaWha pedal.

The Crybaby From Hell WhaWah pedal is a true mid range equalizer / manipulator. It allows the player to select the tone via a six switch knob, with additional low range, high range, and volume controls. Don't let me fail to mention the red button gain booster located on the side of the pedal allowing easy to use functionality. Let Dime Bag Darrell's legacy live on; and P-L-A-Y a DIME Cry Baby FROM HELL ! ! !

rob_hough

Great Wah

I'm not a Dimebag fan boy by any stretch, but this wah is extremely versatile and built like a tank. Not a huge fan of the camo, but whatever. Take care of it, and it'll last you 15-20 years without a doubt.

andre_scott

One of the best wah pedals money can buy

It does it all, but once you dial in your own sound, you'll never change it. I never used the boost, except by accident so I ripped the button off. Great wah with many, many tones available. The grip tape design is pure genius.

jimmarchi1

great review!

gillotinesq

Is it me or the pedal?

I have been frequently using this pedal over 3 years. It is currently out-of-order. In working condition, it is a great, versatile wah. It is awesome to have a light to let you know the wah is on. I wonder why this didn't pick up on all of their other models...... The reason for out-of-order, is most likely my fault, but don't you expect your pedals to be stepped on???? I don't "click" my pedal on, I hold them true to their name & stomp on them.

tarbyrocks

Wide sweep and piercing high end for versatile play

It's got a nice, wide sweep and a piercing high end which is great for solos and clean stuff alike.

jackao

Awesome

This is a sweet wah pedal. This might even be better than the normal crybaby wah pedal.

Wah Wah Baby

This is the only way pedal I've ever had, because I haven't needed another. This pedal is pure versatility with a lot of settings to mess around with. Also one of the only came pedals I've ever seen.
