jkessel « A Hotrodded 535Q wah with cool facelift »
Published on 04/30/12 at 11:11The Dunlop DB01 Signature Dimebag Darrell wah is pretty much a 535Q crybaby with slight modifications. The fine tune controls allow the sweep to go slightly high and slightly lower, that's pretty much it. Has a 6 way rotary switch on the side to control what frequency range you want the wah to work in. Has a Q control that controls how wide the sweep is. Has a boost switch that adds up to 18db of boost. Boost knob which controls how much boost you want. And LED's to let you know if the wah is on or off as well as the boost. Has a cool look to it as well. Camouflage with grip tape on the treadle with CFH (cowboys from hell) printed on it.
UTILIZATION
Very easy to setup. Simple controls and for more simplistic people it can just be left at default. But for the people who like tweaking the manual is great and explains in detail how each control works and what it does for your tone.
SOUND QUALITY
I've been on a wah hunt for few years and this was one of my favorite. Has a very classic crybaby sound but all the tweaking options is what really makes it shine. Take a normal crybaby and it has a great sound, but only 1 great sound and you're stuck with it. This has that same 1 great sound but you get to choose if you want it to be at a higher range, lower range, wider, shorter... as well as adding in a boost to really make the wah scream.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall it's a great pedal and even though I ended up selling it and am now with the KH95 Kirk Hammett wah there's no doubt I'll get another DB01 again eventually. 2 wahs that should always be in a lead guitarists arsenal.
