Jim Dunlop CryBaby From Hell- Review!

[@boofert.washington2499]

I have one that belonged to Dime. He gave it to me about a year before he died. I was at Vince's for a party and we were jamming upstairs. I was going on about how cool it was and he said "it's yours, Chubs! I got a hundred of these things at home." It's been in my collection ever since. My brother can confirm the story. He was there.

[@johnk7267]

Your brother could confirm the story... if you had a brother, that is.

[@armara70]

He gave me one too, then Eddie Van Halen shared his coke with me, Then Jerry Cantrell loaned me his car.

[@johnhareiel5118]

Wished that happened to me. All I got is a wah Hendrix gave me. Sorry luck is all I got compared to you

[@JustAPairofLegs]

Cool dude

[@skinnybigstuff1040]

And im in dimes house right now taking a shit in his toilet.

[@jimyd1010]

I just bought one. Best wah on the market and built like a tank

[@jimyd1010]

For sure. You can dial in any sound on this baby! Very versatile. .

[@1-updeville560]

Not so fast... how about the buddy guy sig.? Lol

[@yoshiki.g1450]

This is the best wah pedal ever built. It is the most versatile and you can get literally all the wah tones you can ever wish for in a single wah pedal. Getcha Pull. R.I.P brother DIme. \m/ Great review.

[@samholloway9211]

Literally. I found one cheap second hand. Does it all!

Dimebag was a Hendrix fan you know

[@ComradeMarx1017]

Best review of this pedal. To the point - no metal playing. Just articulate dirty tones. Thank you man! You've sold me.

[@nickf9392]

If you are looking for a wah that handles distortion really well this could be the one. I just did my own test and the Dimebag seems like it did the best job, need more practical playing time to confirm, and the other two were tied for second place were the Alice in Chains and the newer Slash version. All three are pretty impressive, but the Dimebag rocked the distortion while staying expressive and not adding any ugly sounds to the signal.

[@merriejones6233]

...like most people,, I have watched lots of youtube. I must say you have the finest review/instruction video I have ever seen. No wasted stalling seconds, No self interest plugs, in focus shots, quick and to the point, without being rude. I am a little more prone to jabs, that to praise. Please keep up the good work. Your one in a thousand!

[@isaacpargas5158]

Warning!! Don't unscrew the Allen screw to much or a piece holding the pedal in position will come loose. It came out on mine and it was a pain to put back in.

[@vixenvendettaofficial]

How about some Pantera!!

[@tntexplodebomb8654]

This review is really well done, to the point and concise big thumbs up

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

Best demo. You’re the only that demo'd fairly clean. Everyone else just wanted to turn it up to 11 with overdrive and make noise. Thank you!

[@CraigMedlinmusic]

Glad that the video is still helping people after nearly a decade haha

[@rpf23543]

Nice review to show how versatile it is. I mean, that the Wah sounds awesome for Metal is clear and there are dozens of videos showing that but it is also nice to see the Wah in action with other styles.

[@CraigMedlinmusic]

Glad to help! I noticed when trying to research this pedal, there wasn't much on KZbin about it, so thought it would be a good idea to make a video of it when I bought it.

[@gokberkgul9801]

It's like all I've been waiting for is this video. I always wanted to buy a dime crybaby, but after watching that video, I immediately ordered one. Thanks a lot dude!!

[@cliffschannel2521]

I just ordered one today. Was going to get the Cantrell but decided I liked the versatility of the DB .

[@JuanTobar]

Nice review! A must have pedal definitely

[@roghib666]

no heavy metal riff or lead with this cb from hell?

[@kevins4222]

Word on the street is that this one of the best wah pedals ever made. Definitely getting a reputation.

[@pillowz8786]

This, in my opinion, is the best and most versatile wah pedal you can buy.

[@TMoody]

Great review... RIP legend Dime.

[@waylinvanhalen]

I've had mine for years. Still kicking ass

[@frankwithrow377]

One of the best wah pedals out there man

[@marciper-eq4xz]

Thanks for the video. What is your set up is the wah after distortion? or before?

[@eyesofgoat249]

Great demo. 👍 Just ordered this from Sweetwater.

[@MonsieurMammouth]

Thanks a lot for this review! I was going to get a Zakk Wylde wah because it sounded better to me than the standard Crybaby, but this one seems even better, with all the customisation things inboard! And despite what Fasthotrod440 thinks, I'm not going to use it only for metal! :p

[@guitarbro1]

Nice video man, very professional with the editing and such. :)

[@zigazorin8893]

Can you get zakk wylde sound on this cause wylde wah is so unavailable😭

[@TheTubeDude]

Excellent demonstration.

[@askandziora]

cool video. i have this pedal its awsome.how do i adjust it for the van halen wah sound? thanks

[@teflonradiator7005]

are you on a overdrive or crush channel or does the pedal makes the distortion??

[@aarondavis4341]

This wah is exactly like the hell babe wah,this video actually helped me figure out how to use it,lol

[@FrancoAguileradonillan]

I have that same pedal, but it happens to me that when I activate the wah, all the volume goes down, does this ever happen to someone before ?

[@blop1738]

2:04 What in English the name of those two black rubber cushion teeth below the tread (underside the pedal)? i mean that sort of two rubber cushion 'wicks' used to soften the blow to avoid abrading the paint and avoid to push the switch too easily. What's their name?

[@albertogarcia4205]

Que tal una pregunta está pedal tiene dos salidas pero veo que la otra no la ocupan ....

[@jampula6352]

Can you use this pedal with bass guitar?

[@xcorp21]

the switchable outputs how do they work ?,,I mean how do you conect the cables so you can get the best sound?

[@sssidney]

This or the Jerry Cantrell wah ?

[@MrDuel666]

kirk should use this

[@noelydovetail]

What make guitar did you use for this?

[@akosilance7863]

Dude can you make a demo of that wah with the wah part of dream theater's Home?

[@sssidney]

I’ll rephrase the question can you get this to sound like the Cantrell wah ?

[@ventproc]

Quite close, the JC one ranges from 320 Hz to 2k Hz, this one with Frequency Center selector at 3 will go 375 Hz to 1.8k Hz. The Cantrell one has a bit more usable range, but the versatility options and the posibility to use this wah as a Y splitter (drive two amps at once, or a tuner out of signal chain) sealed the deal for me.

[@sparkyguitar0058]

@@ventproc Interesting, doing what. Driving 2 amps like the end of a chain. I go tuner 1st then wah then drive pedals. Last in chain is silent modded KFK 10 band E Q with 2 outs. Do you need to mod a Dime to use both outs? I never did experiment with this actually since I got it almost 20 years ago.

[@ventproc]

@@sparkyguitar0058 Both outputs are active by default iirc. You can run a tuner out of one and your amp from the other, or just two amps. I use the tuner in front too, since it's also my mute switch. There is a dip switch inside the pedal affecting the outputs, the manual explains it. It's not quite a dedicated splitter as you can't cancel out ground loops if they occur, but it worked for me before I got a A/B/Y box. Considered it a bonus to the most versatile Dunlop wah (I didn't take the JP one into account since it requires unscrewing the bottom to adjust the trimpots each time).

[@jeremybaker195]

I have one I bought used. I opened it up becouse the pot was crackling a bit so I sprayed it with Deoxit and found a small black switch inside. What does this switch control ?

[@DC-yb7qd]

It controls the pee poop

[@mrbsred1]

+Jeremy Baker It's for the a/b outputs - clean or effected for the second output. Google it

[@DC-yb7qd]

No it's just controls the poop fart

[@mrbsred1]

Cody kholeson Interesting, you wish

[@TommyJoiner]

How does it work on bass?

[@YourMoralCompas]

would i be able to add distortion to this through a second effect pedal?

[@mrbsred1]

+josh tate Why do you think you couldn't? All pedals are made to be able to combine

[@dagony7383]

Bought it when it came out, great wah and the second sickest looking wah out their, but my Ibanez weeping demon still sounds better in D tuning and more versatile. Still an awesome wah..

[@EddieVH77]

where do they sell that crybaby wah pedal?

[@sygyl]

since this pedal is a buffer does it still work at the beginning of the chain? (i don't know much about pedals :p)

[@Severinate]

Zach I run this at the start and it works fine.

[@thehound2161]

Perfect. TY for the vid.

[@rhyoutv3168]

can you get Joe Satriani sound with this?

[@jamesmankel4983]

Can anyone tell me if this pedal is better with a power pack because I have had 2 now and not getting a good sound out of it but using a battery the first one I sent back but kept the second one I am not sure if the battery power is not enough to get that sound I am hearing in all the videos

[@CraigMedlinmusic]

Try a 12 volt power supply as opposed to 9

[@rekdinhopoetico]

I have a Dime and a Big Bad Wah Wah...the first Works better in heavy metal compositions. I use the second for blues and hard rock.

[@machineweeds]

I have this pedel,

[@barrettnevins7550]

Me three...It's a tank has a larger sweep variation, can pretty much dial how you want...I wasn't trying to get a dime sound. I liked the idea of shaping sound.

[@rekdinhopoetico]

It's a great pedal, I'm sure you agree! To me, the Dime is the best wah wah available! I was listenning to the Zakk Wylde pedal, I liked it a lot either.

[@AmpsforBuddha]

How is the build quality (for a mass produced item)? Has any screws or knobs, and such, loosen? Will they need to be replaced at some time? …Great video!

[@CraigMedlinmusic]

Pretty solid build- Been gigged, dropped and knocked about lots and everything is still going strong.

[@AmpsforBuddha]

Thank you! …Keep up with the great videos.

[@odboys3108]

How do I get his tone with those settings?

[@sparkyguitar0058]

Check the guitar and amp then his fingers might have a little to do with it also.

[@Jack-lo1pg]

Talk about your own signature wah pedal from a signature wah pedal

[@isaacpargas5158]

What is the size of the allen key?

[@ginnersoloman2000]

I don't understand what I am doing wrong with mine it has excellent wah sound on clean but with any kind of distortion it's not making much difference can anyone please help me it's frustrating

[@canesrule96]

Shorter waves, have the boost on, run it into an overdrive and then into the amps distortion channel. Give yourself a lot of gain and try doing a harmonic without the wah pedal. Then turn the wah pedal on and press it all the way down, you'll get a great harmonic with ease

[@rafkinsnoise2324]

great review!

[@dumithegreat3892]

Ben Weinman inspired me to nab one. hoping it sounds this nice

[@rustyshackleford2380]

I've got one it's a beast.

[@spencer.kissack.the.author]

V good review. Edgar Randolph says Yes.

[@justme8108]

Great review. Sorry I didn't watch sooner.

[@poopahskoopahh8563]

Does the pedal make Distortion?

[@yoshiki.g1450]

If you tweak the Variable Q to the point where the tone gets more fuzzy + the additional 15db boost that you can get by hitting that red switch, you will get the distorted tone. It is the best wah pedal because it is the most versatile wah pedal form which you can get all the wah tones there are.

[@kaustik185]

"Q" is simpley the width of the, in this case, bandpass filter.

[@CraigMedlinmusic]

Thanks mate! :)

[@jerroldhewson3600]

Just to be sure, there is no modulation in say the vowel sounds, there is just variation on EQ? Oh sorry, and some fuzz.

[@CodyJamez707]

Guys my buddy let me use this Wah cuz I have a PANTERA thing going. I can’t get it to WAH! I can’t figure it the F out!

[@idkwhatimdoing7435]

I think if Hendrix were alive to use one of these he’d love it

[@CenovCovers]

Is it true bypass?

[@mrbsred1]

+TintiriMintiri No, but it has a great buffer

[@TiggyRainbow]

Is it true that John Frusciante uses this pedal?

[@mrbsred1]

+Willmaatealrii I Apparently, but the Ibanez W10 is the one used on all the albums we/I love

[@mestresplinter9774]

He use this on stadium arcadium ( in some songs).

i am so gonna get this for my John Frusciante covers

[@devianblack8502]

If i buy i'll re paint it definitely

[@ChrisTopherBunnell]

My used one doesn't have the allen key to adjust the pedal tension, DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE ALLEN SIZE? If you have your stock key and a micrometer, please measure it. I hate that it is an odd size and length required, but dunlop doesn't seem to offer a replacement tool.

[@MetalAsFk]

Dimebag Darrell himself did not have this waH ... You had the regular cry baby wall

[@jlegasp]

Not so great review. Dime Bag used a Dean ML, not a Fender Strat so that ruins the sound. This video does not show the full potential or actual original intension in how Dimebag would of used it. The pedal itself, using it in its true purpose, which is in metal or hard rock, it sounds amazing. If you want the tone that this man is trying to force out of this pedal, I would recommend the Original Crybaby or the Buddy Guy Signature Crybaby.

[@wchurchill419]

This is a review on the pedal itself, not an instructional on how to replicate dimes sound/tone. If that was the case.. Depending on the year and album, you would need A randall warhead/crank/etc.. A Washburn/Dean/etc The crybaby he used before this pedal was released like you have pointed out is what you will need....as clearly dime didnt use this one on any of the songs we came to love from Pantera. You will also need mad skills, nasty harmonics and gnarly tremolo dives and plenty more. This video is a review on Dime's signature Crybaby, not Dime's signature tone. twas a great review. I think you mislead yourself on this one chief. But you play a Jackson and like Dime...So your alright in my book :)

[@jlegasp]

Yah I understand but when I looked at this review I wanted to know it full range of tone and versatility. Yah play some jimi and what not cuz that is a very good way to tell the dynamics of the pedal without having the distortion getting in the way but at the end I hoped for some high gain distortion so I could get a more well rounded feel for the pedal. With this video it was getting there but it never gets there. So I was somewhat disappointed. You gotta love Jackson man. I've been playing them for the past 5 years and haven't looked back. Idk man I have played guitars from other brands but I just keep on going back to Jackson/ Charvels.

[@MrWolfsbane123]

fasthotrod440 and you did now if you weren't satisfied with this review go find another one to like. And as a guitarist who likes many different styles this review was aquedate enough to let me see what this pedal could do in any genre I want to apply it to.
