I use a Real McCoy Wizard Wah and it's the best wah I've ever played.

Re: wah pedals
I would try the Dunlop wahs. If you liked it, then it's a good place to start.

Re: wah pedals
The Morley Bad Horsie is a solid option. Indestructible pedals and sound great too.

Re: wah pedals
Depends on what type of money you are willing to spend.

b) Chicago Iron Parachute wah - http://www.chicagoiron.com/parachute.html
And i want/need both :nervous:

wah pedals
I own 4 wahs. Two are old Thomas Organ Company crybabys and for what I do these are amazing. They are very vocal but these old pedals tend to break down. John Spina modded both of my Thomas Organ Company wahs. What they lacked at one point, they mo longer do. He made them sound better. He also modded a Vox 847 for me. And I also have a Box Clyde McCoy wah. Out of the box the Clyde is great but I don't think they make them anymore. The real McCoy wizard or Joe Walsh signature wah would be my first choices if I were buying a new one today

Re: wah pedals
I've got the Dunlop 535Q. It's the best sounding Wah I have ever played, but I've got quite a limited experience with them. I've tried the Dunlop Slash Wah and a couple others but wasn't impressed. The 535Q offers a couple of little extra features which I quite like, but may not be everyone's cup of tea, especially as they are quite a bit more than the standard Dunlops.
The 535Q is a very sturdy and hard-wearing pedal. I've been stomping on it for years and it barely shows any aging/damage.

I had the Dunlop 535Q for many years, and liked it, but the year mine came out it wasn't true bypass, now they are. Great pedal.
However, I recently upgraded to the Dunlop CAE Electronics wah, and like it a lot better. It's got 2 inductors and a side switch to toggle between the two modes, one bright and classic, one dark and modern. It's way easier to get great tones out of it, whereas with the 535 you really have to tweak a lot, and many times I didn't see a huge difference in the settings. Overall it has two tones which are overall much better than the many other ones the 535 has

Re: wah pedals
I have the rmc2. Well built, good features, but not quite obnoxious enough for me. I need a tad more. The newest version of these seem to be even more user friendly.

YES
If you can't get the sound you're looking for with a 535Q, you don't like wahs. I have been very happy with mine for years and years now . . .

Re: wah pedals
I've got a few of Geoffrey Teese's Real McCoy wahs, including an RMC1 that Geoffrey custom made for me at unity gain, rather than its usual 6dB boost. I have one of his hand built Picture Wahs and a more recent model which is factory made. In fact, Geoffrey kindly used a demo that I made of the RMC1 on his website, second from the bottom of the audio clips (under "RMC1 Geoff Wells"). http://www.realmccoycustom.com/AUDIO.htm
The Teese wahs are superb, very smooth, and each with their own distinctive voice, and some models with a wide variety of options. I would also take a look at the Wilson wahs as an alternative.

Re: wah pedals
I wound up buying an old Crybaby on Craigslist and modding it to my liking.
My general suggestion is to try as many as you can and pick the one that sounds best to you. There is no one wah that works for everyone. It's a matter of personal taste, more than any other pedal IMO.
