Yeah mine is coming to the grave with me!
I just went to Ebay to show you the model I have

No audio goes thought the control pedal so no scratching
The pedal feels just like any other (no new feel to get use to)
You can have up to 4 pedals onstage (always nice to know)
There 6 different wah types there are no weak settings they all sound good (depending on what your doing) the unit does have an EQ you can kick on .I never use it personally. Also has an adjustable volume control, for when the wah is engaged.

The only thing I wish was different is I wish it had an adjustable “Q”, I would prefer it over the EQ.
Forgot I also find it kick’s in and out allot smoother that other Dunlop wah’s almost like one of those Morley models (like the bad Horse)

After reading sombra's post I went to check out this wah (crybaby from hell) I never tried one but heard nothing but good things. For the most part it seems to have all the features "more or less" the rack mount has. it does not have a EQ but I never use the one on the rack mount anyway and it has that ajustable "Q" that I wish the rack mount had.
I think i will have to try one myself!
I just wonder does the audio go through the POT? (Anyone know?)
The rack mount it does not which is one of the reasons it sounds so clear and noise free .


The specs
The Dunlop DB-01 Dime Crybaby From Hell is a hot-rodded wah with an extended sweep so you can get more high end with the pedal down or low end with the pedal up. A 5-way selector on the side allows you to select which frequency you want to play with and also features a kick-in boost. LED indicators inform you of status, even on darkened stages. An extra input on the left lets you go in and out on the same side. Controls include an adjustable volume boost (0 to +17dB). An adjustable Q control modulates frequency breadth and a fine tune knob lets you adjust the toe down sweep range. It sounds fierce and with camo graphics, it looks like the rock 'n' roll weapon it is.

One of my fave wahs is the Dunlop 535Q and the CFH is pretty similar. I have owned a Dunlop 1SR and it is also very close in tone to both of these, but it just sounds a bit fatter due to the EQ controls. The 2SR sounds even cooler and I'm supposed to be getting one soon but my money order is in limbo or something

I would definitely checkout the 535Q and CFH wahs first, then if you think you might want/need the extras from the rack, go for the 2SR.

Bifferman, I have the DCR-2SR and I love it. It is without a doubt the most versatile wah I've ever used. Not to mention the best sounding. With the 2SR you can hook up to 6 expression pedals up. You can get pretty much any wah sound you could possibly want out of this thing. The 535Q is awesome, but it doesn't compare to this thing. But if you don't want to have a ton of different wah sounds, the 535Q or CFH would probably suit you well. Hope this helps you out a bit.
