Dunlop Dimebag Wah "CryBaby from Hell"

This is a great sounding wah for a reasonable price. Very musical, with a true vocal quality, it doesn't suck the signal dynamics, and the trebles never sound harsh or thin. I find all the controls to be reactive and no-nonsense, nothing goes over the top. The booster is very useable too, thanks to its progressive adjustment. The overall result is a very polyvalent pedal (much beyond what the Dimebag label could suggest). It shines on classic wah stylings, from Hendrix to Schenker. Also, the buffered bypass is quite transparent: I don't notice any loss of tone when the effect is in the signal chain, and there's no transitional noise or variation in the signal level when the effect is switched on and off.
The position marker on the tiny pots is not well visible, which can make it a bit difficult to go back to a favorite setting after you've turned the pots. Also, I've found the pedal to be very sensitive to radio interference.
