On 2008-11-12, Deanster rated this Dunlop Crybaby DB-01 Crybaby From Hell Dimebag a 5...(13008)
History: Beginning guitar, experienced bass player. No band. Neo classical metal & own very worst critic (as I was taught to be).
Purchase: Amazon.com on sale for $100! I wanted to expand my sonic arsenal.
Pros: This thing is built like a tank! The sound is amazing and the look is beyond cool. Love the variable sweep. I wish I could have given one to each of the guitar players in my last band.
Cons: Switching mechanism.
Quality: This pedal is gonna outlive me! Review Summary: You gotta get one. This pedal punks out the regular Dunlop Crybaby and Vox! On 2004-01-25, Eric S. rated this Dunlop Crybaby DB-01 Crybaby From Hell Dimebag a 5...(7645)
Purchase: Needed a much better wah than my crappy Morley. Found the light in the CFH. Around 150$, but it's worth every penny.
Pros: The main reason that this wah far surpasses any wah I've played/owned is its adjustability. There are infinate different settings you can use, thus it forms itself to any wah situation. The most common adjustment i use is the 5 position frequency selecter on the right side. It basically adjusts where in the pedal position the frequency will peak. This knob is prety big too, so u can adjust it right with your foot w/o having to stop playing. The other great feature is the onboard boost switch. Also able to be tapped on with your foot, it add an adjustable amount of extra presence to the wah, perfect for some crushing Dime solos! Also, as with most crybabys, its got the adjustments for frequency and even a fine tune knob for high end. An awsome wah, the only one you'll ever need.
Cons: Only a few small problems. The Q-control knob, fine tune knob, and boost level knob are all really small and kind of fickle to adjust. But really once you have those where you want them you will only be messing with the 5 way selector. Also, some people may say the price is a little steep, but I truely believe it's well worth it. As I said, you wont need any other wahs EVER.
Quality: Oh come on.....its got a camo paint job. How do you THINK the construction is. I think you could throw this sucker off a building into a busy street.....pick it up.....plug it in.......and she'll be right in tune. I've had it for 2 years with no signs of trouble.....and seeing how its a Dunlop I don't expect I ever will. Review Summary: if you're looking for a wah.....don't settle for anything less. Any sound you could ever want from a wah. A lot of pedals have come and gone through my setup, but the only pedal I've never wanted to or needed to upgrade or replace is my Dime Crybaby.
