Dimebag Darrell’s Dunlop Cry Baby Wah Pedal

Dimebag mentioned in a 1994 interview that he used a Dunlop pedal on the song “Because”. He, unfortunately, did not specify the model. It could’ve been a 535Q, which came out that same year, or something older like the GCB95.

That was one of the songs that started with Vinnie’s incredible drum groove. Because I used the Whammy Pedal on the rhythm part, I decided to use it on the lead as well. The only thing I had between my guitar and my amp was my Dunlop wah and the Whammy, so like an idiot I decided to try and play my solo using both effects simultaneously.

Dimebag Darrell – the Far Beyond Driven interview: “I knew it was going to be one bad motherf**ker – refreshing, new, and that’s what it was”

Something to note in regards to how dime used wah pedals is that he would occasionally use them while doing his harmonic squeals, since it adds a ton of sustain. Ola englund has a video covering it on his channel
