The DB-02 Dime Cry Baby Wah is an analog wah pedal from Dunlop, part of the maker's long-running Cry Baby line and built around the preferences of Dimebag Darrell, whose name it carries.1

What sets it apart from a standard Cry Baby is the range and the adjustability. Dunlop describes it as featuring "an extended sweep for more lows and highs," so the pedal covers more of the frequency range as you rock the treadle. A side-mounted 6-way frequency selector lets you choose among six wah voicings, and a fine-tune knob adjusts the sound further.1

Questions

What is the Dunlop DB-02 Dime Cry Baby Wah?

It is an analog wah pedal made by Dunlop in its Cry Baby line. It carries the Dimebag Darrell name and differs from a standard Cry Baby in two main ways: an extended sweep that reaches more lows and highs, and a side-mounted 6-way frequency selector that lets you set the wah's center frequency. A fine-tune knob adjusts the sound further.

How is the DB-02 powered?

The DB-02 runs on 9V DC with a center negative plug and draws 2mA of current. That low draw means it sits easily on a pedalboard powered by a standard supply or daisy chain, and it is an analog circuit rather than digital.
