Slipknot's Jim Root has been going through some of the gear in his home during his downtime. He recently posted a photo of a guitar he got over a decade ago but never opened the box. Now he's sharing another long dormant piece of gear, but his Dimebag Darrell-gifted wah pedal has remained that way for sentimental reasons.
In a new Instagram post, Root spotlights a box that has a Jim Dunlop Cry Baby From Hell Dimebag Darrell signature model wah pedal inside. The Slipknot guitarist writes, "This is the most important pedal I have. We were on tour and played Dallas. Dime and Vinnie were there. The whole crew... and they had a crew. Tight bunch of dudes. Dime gave me this @jimdunlopusa cry baby from hell and he had written a note to me on it. To ME? From one of if not the most influential guitarists of all time."
