Re: What the best WAH pedal....
I'd (aside from RMC) have to throw in Area 51 drop ins as well, from what I've heard they are agreat alternative to buying a whole new wah. I try the Ibanez weeping demon against my WH-10 Ibanez wah and I have to say the weeping demon is a very good underrated wah...but not as funky as my WH-10 wah.

Re: What the best WAH pedal....
A similar story here..
I have an early 90´s CryBaby, which just sounds absolutely gorgeus. I don´t know what it is, I´ve not modded it in any other way than the usual pot-change (a dunlop hot pot). It´s far better than any non-vintage CryBaby I´ve tried, guess it has been a lucky buy.
But as it´s a tone sucker when off, I went out and bought a RMC3. Out of the box it was good, but much to my surprise the CryBaby sounded better! The sweep was sweeter and both extremes (toe up and down) of the wah were more usable.
Now that I´ve tweaked the RMC3 for months it starts to gradually sound as good as the CryBaby.. So I think it´s a wah with superiour construction and almost endless tweakability but be also prepared to spend some time with it to get it to sound perfect for your needs. I love the fact that the mids and volume are so tweakable, as those two usually are the two qualities that make wah either a bomb or THE bomb.

Re: What the best WAH pedal....
I'm big into the 535Q myself. It's really versatile, you can do broad, sweeping wahs, narrow, cutting wahs, and subtle wahs. True bypass is a godsend too. I think you get what you pay for, and this will perform out of the box, no mods, nothing. It will last years and years too.
