I'm looking to get a new wah pedal, I have a couple of chances right now to get either one of them. I just sold off my old KH95 on Ebay with the intention of going to a non-signature wah pedal. I'm tossing between the Vox and the good ol' Crybaby. I'm open to other wahs, but I only want to spend ~$70, which brings me to a Crybaby and the V487. What are the pros/cons of each?

Generally I'm looking for vintage style, along the lines of Hendrix, but something that will handle overdrive and distortion well when I want to get my RATM on. :cool2:

Hate to break it to you, but, you should have kept the KH, and not worried about it being a signature pedal. Unless you're willing to spend more than $70, you will be disappointed.

The standard wahs aren't too great. I've been meaning to mod my GCB-95 for a while now. Just too shrill, it gets too muddy when you back it off, there is no transition from the high to low, not enough mid range, a tiny drop in volume, not smooth, and very thin sounding.
