A Hot-rodded Cry Baby with a Serious Tonal Range

The camouflage-covered Dunlop Dime Cry Baby from Hell is a hot-rodded wah that was the brainchild of Pantera co-founder Dimebag Darrell. It boasts an extended frequency sweep, so you can get both higher and deeper, as well as a 6-way frequency range selector. Plus, to cut through the band, the Dunlop Dime Cry Baby features a dedicated boost switch. Grip tape covers the pedal area so that a wet foot won't slide off, and there's also a convenient extra output jack on the left-hand side of the Dime Cry Baby, for versatile signal routing.

Designed by Pantera axe-shredder Dimebag Darrell

Darrell knew the Cry Baby, loved the Cry Baby, and worked with Dunlop to create this incredible, hot-rodded stompbox. In addition to its camouflaged look, the Dime Cry Baby from Hell offers a ton of great features — both for sound and for playability — to take this classic pedal to “A New Level.”

Extended frequency sweep and 6-way frequency selector

To give the Dime Cry Baby even more sonic diversity, Dunlop extended its frequency sweep range — it can sweep even higher and even deeper than before. Plus, there's a 6-way sweep selector on the pedal, so you can choose what frequency range you'd like to center your sweep on. The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate the diversity of tones that are offered by the Dime Cry Baby.

Boost switch for cutting through the mix

When you're entering a wah-infused solo or diving into a lush bridge, sometimes you just want to have that extra juice when you engage the wah, rather than stepping on another stompbox to take your level where it needs to be. That's why Darrell and Dunlop gave the Dime Cry Baby from Hell an additional boost on/off switch — it gives you just enough to float your sound right over the top.

Slide-proof, grip-tape-covered pedal

Darrell loved the original Cry Baby, but knew from experience that if your shoes were wet, they couldn't quite grip the rubber pedal the way you wanted. To solve this issue, the Dime Cry Baby features grip tape across the top of the pedal area.

Convenient extra output jack on the left-hand side

The original Cry Baby features an input jack on one side and an output jack on the other side. Darrell wanted to make it easier to split your signal to a separate effects chain, so the Dime Cry Baby from Hell features a second output jack on the left-hand side.

GREAT...'cept different.

After trying out a Morley Lock Wah which didn't do it for me due to noise issues(should've figured there would BE issues when the whole back page of the included Morley brochure is dedicated to noise suppression devices lol!), I returned it to try out this bad boy. GREAT decision!! This is NOT just a metalhead's dream come true, oh, it IS that, but it is oh so so so SO much more. There is a big honking knob on the right side of the unit that you can literally turn with your BIG TOE! Or a shoe, I suppose, if you ain't the natural type. That being said, if you do kick off your boots for some Rock & Roll boogie & racket, you WILL leave a lasting impression upon the skate tape that covers the ENTIRE treadle, and it upon YOU..but you will come away with baby-soft soles, a fair trade-off, me thinks. The big toe knob (BTK) lets you shift between a regular bom chikka wow wow 70s type wah, with that wicked high-end squeak... through mid-range sweet vocal-escent qualities, all the way to the depths of low guttural squonks (hiya, Satch!). Add to that the 3, count 'em THREE(!) totally separate & unique teeny weeny itty bitty knobules on the left side...dude, I mean, come ON! These guys help fine-tune both the toe-end & heel-end freqs, plus the overall level of awesomeness (well, volume, for the boost, prolly, but...) Did I forget an actual BOOST? WITH a toe-kicker switch?? I DID!! Dunlop didn't, they gotcha covered with an extra +17dB when you dime this booger out. Finish it off with a black tooth grin (YEAH!!) PLUS an extra output for splitting your signal to a separate FX chain, the options here are truly limitless, one of the MOST versatile, hidden-in-plain-sight surprises of any tone-hound's quest...GO. BUY. THIS.

My one, my ONLY complaint...they went and changed the color-scheme overall. I LOVED the older model with the classic camo look inspired by Dime's pantaloons. That bold CFH blazoned across the treadle in yellow, it must really stand out on a pedal board. It's the change to the bottom that we lost the most on, though, compare the 2 images...much more detailed info on the classic camo version, super helpful to a 1st-time wah-ster. Overall, give it a pull, today!!

The last in line

In forty five years of playing I like this one the best. Lots of features but the expanded range is what I was looking for. It does what it's supposed to. A little pricey but what worth having isn't? Zack Davidson should get a raise for making things happen. Not sure but I think he single handedly put an end to the Smarties shortage crisis. Long live Zack Davidson! Would buy again if I didn't already have one.

Awesome

I love it. Sounds cutting and clear. Lots or range, boost is nice too
Rated 5/5

Fantastic Pedal

Highly versatile and configurable. Very sturdy construction and the sandpaper grip is awesome.

Regardless of what genre of music you play, I think this will be a fantastic addition to your pedal board.
Rated 5/5

Tones from Hell

Tone wise a little different from the original but not in a bad way, maybe more musical treble, a do it all pedal with the ability to switch sounds effortless, I would say is the best option to craft your own wah tone without having to sacrifice purchasing 10 wahs in a row. Can handle any style of music, plus side, it is stereo for maximum noise damage. Thank you Mike B, a real MVP.
