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

Thanks!!!

This is why guitar is great. Not every shoe fits everyone. I bought the Dime wah as my first wah and had it for years and I always thought it sounded way too muddy. I’m a huge Dime fan. My buddy came into practice one day with a regular wah similar to yours and I was blown away by how clean his was. I still own my Dime Wah but I’ve wanted to invest in one like his ever since.

The Dimebag Wah clearly has a much smoother wah. the 95Q is much more noticeable going from off to on - thats distracting, you dont get that with the Dimebag one

[buckbreaker]

traded an eighth of weed for one of these in High School. Its the only Wah Ill ever buy its so good

[plumbummusic]

I wanted the Dimebag signature but it was too expensive, so I looked into his gear and learned it was based on the 535q he owned - which was significantly cheaper - and ended up buying it. Love the range and Q dials to tailor it, and since you can boost it, there's no signal loss when you turn it on compared to the classic crybaby.

After witnessing Kirk blew it up in AT&T Stadium. He is one of my favorite guitar players.

If it were me, I’d keep both. Your original pedal sounds better for clean ch. parts and the Dime Bag wah sounds great for heavier parts. So it depends on what you’re going to play.

I like the CFH Wah for studio recording. Allows for a lot of real versatility that can help alot to make solos stand out.

[dariancline]

I like these type of videos where u talk about the equipment used by guitar legends like Hammet. He gets a bunch if shit for using a wah-- but wah solos sound awesome to me.... especially with pentatonic solos.
I think anything Dime used is golden! The Dime model seems to hv more options....

[Boyerj]

I like the slash wah… main because of the led which lets me know it’s on but also because of the gain which gives a nice boost without needing an addition pedal

95q is too abrupt in its change, i like a wah that is able to engage more subtly without blowing your head off.

[Emolga]

i will always default to the bad horsie or bad horsie 2 because they turn themselves off when you stop using them, as well as the wah being optical, which is more reliable than a wah with a potentiometer

[abrackas]

Favorite wah tone is the one used by Kirk, Slash, and Steve Vai - the EMB rack wah. A few years ago the original builder made some more in self-contained enclosures. Glad I got it when I did as they are no longer in production. Mine is signed by Vai!

[ogmakefirefiregood]

I have a Morley Bad Horsie 2. It turns on/off automatically when pressed. It also has a spring in it to push it back down. WAAAY EASIER to operate. I love it.

[lancecpldave]

I thought it was cool that kirk hammett said he would have copied the dimebag one for his signature but he felt it would be disrespectful to dimebag

Ive already faced this dilemma myself. When I chose a WAH I settled on the Ibanez weeping demon because it has a switch you can flip to make it like the dime where it's just always active, or a setting where it's just the standard way and engages only when you pedal it. Also I thought it had enough knobs that I can get a huge range of tone from it.

[kevinmcguinness]

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.

Congrats on 826k Subscribers🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻I loved that Rick Beato interview, I was surprised too when he said that he preferred the Dimebag Wah. When you said 7 O'clock I couldn't help but start singing the Quireboys song of the same name haha.

I don't have any pedals yet, but I've thought about what wah I might choose, I think I'd just go with a standard Dunlop Cry Baby Wah.

[matthewbriggsguitar]

I like the Dimebag just because it has more options. But, my current wah is the Dunlop MC404 CAE, which is kind of in between the two of these with the boost and two voicings. Its also the wah Kim Thayil uses, which is the main reason I have it.

[hatepaste]

95Q is my favorite. I put the Q on 0 and the volume boost on 10. I opened it up and adjusted the timing trip pot Whitehall smooths out the transition. It’s awesome.

[Quusikko]

I was facing a wah dilemma a long time ago and went with the 535Q because of the features. The biggest one being that it has a range that works with bass too. Since I play both I always try to get gear that can work in both fields, so I wouldn't need to get a whole bunch of gear to cover everything. So in this shootout I'd go with the Dime.
