    Hey, At the moment i have the Boss me50 but the wah pedal in it i dont think is that good.... Im not the best player around... been playin for a few years but still just learn main parts of songs as i cant do solo's... and i just love playin around with the guitar , i have a Ibanez s 520 ex and a marshal 100 watt avt amp, and mainly play hard rock/ metal AC/DC, Queen, metallica that sorta stuff...
    i was looking at the Dunlop dimebag wah as i like messin about doing dimebag squeels and stuff but is it good or just priced higher as his name is on it??

    Thanks for any help

    It kinda depends on what kind of sound you're looking to get.

    If I were splashing out again, I'd probably look at a Buddah Wah.

    I bought a Dunlop 535Q and I think it's fine - you can fine tune it to nearly any sound you need. I just played for a while until I found a sound I liked, and I've never moved the knobs since!


    What is it about the Dime wah you like? Don't forget you'll be paying extra for an "artist" pedal - Dimebag, Hendrix or Slash etc.

    The dimebag wah is a good looking wah, no doubt about it.
