KIRK HAMMETT says it’s his MAGIC WAH PEDAL and it’s NOT his signature model! (do I need one?)

  • The Dimebag wah is the only wah I have, and I must say it is money well spent, especially after hearing Kirk Hammett, with his well-documented penchant for wah pedals, cite this as his favorite (despite having his own signature model).

  • I bought the basic GCB95, and modded the hell out of it. A few resistors, capacitors, true-bypass, and an indicator LED. It screams now!

  • Super old thread. No one's gonna see this, BUT… dude, I have the 535Q. It has the "big knob" AND the "fine tune". It doesn't have the 3rd trim pot (so Dime's IS cooler). // 569 people have probably chimed in already BUT… I think you're overlooking the features on your 535. Or am I missing something really obvious. Yes I've watched the whole thing; no I'm not high; full disclosure, I may be an idiot.

  • First wah pedal I bought in high school. Had it for over 15 years and it’s hands down the best. That weird feature where it turns on by itself when you touch it on the 95q is bullcrap. It’s got a lag and it sounds awful when it kicks on.

  • I like this. I get to watch you play with gear and then I can decide to buy it or not. Saves me time and money. Thanks!

  • Woah, I just realized my CBFH is 20 years old now. I love it and wouldn’t switch to anything else. It’s just really versatile and fun. I do like a Morley sound, and own one, but It’s a very different circuit in many ways. I’m a sucker for a EH Q-tron too for an auto wah. Great for 70’s porn music.

  • This may be just me, but the Behringer Hellbabe is supposed to be a cheaper version of the dime wah. Almost the exact same controls, the only difference being that the Behringer is switchless

  • Just sell the 95 as the Dime is so much more, experiment and you will see how limited you were using the 95.

  • I’d probably put a Ibanez Twin Peaks or a Weeping Demon wah. I already bought the latter and I use it on guitars and things that aren’t guitar. I tried one in guitar center when I was about 18-20 and it blew me away. I think I finally bought it when I was 26 back in 2014. Since they aren’t in production I might have to find an alternative. It’s definitely a pedal I’d break out for song writing and studio use. I still use a standard 95 wah when I’m not using the WD7.

  • Wow, I like that auto-on thing on your wah. I have to click down so hard on mine that i have fear of breaking it. I have to modify the switch cause its very agrivating and i cant use it in my band cause it doesnt always click. Talk about "Stomp" boxes, You literally have to stomp on it. Maybe if I jump on it…

  • 4:23 Steve Vai/Bad Horsie, cool ????. Got a Bad Horsie II wah pedal, love having the switchable second profile you can set/adjust. No noticeable transition from OFF to ON ????

    Prefer the Dimbag pedal, sounds like a more expressive range and attack. The cocked-wah transition seems to be more controllable.

  • Money For Nothing is played with Wah parked at one spot and that just stays there. This actually highlights a disadvantage of the 95Q as you have to hold your foot in the same spot to get the same effect. Still, I like the 95Q for the same simplicity you do. I have a 535Q which is similar to the Dimebag that I like to use at home, and the 95Q for gigs. Great video showcase!
