A wah pedal is at the top of my wishlist right now. I have been borrowing a crybaby from my friend and it sounds great, but I am wondering if I could get a similar effect with a cheaper wah pedal. Do you feel like the high price of a crybaby is worth it, or do they all sound the same?
I don’t really know about the sound, but I’d go for something metal, just for durability…
Whatever you go for, it’s worth having a look at the mods you can do to wahs to change the sound, if it’s not quite what you need. Even if you don’t want to do anything electrical you can change the sound by removing the toothed rack and turning the pot dial a little.
FWIW I’m pretty happy with my Vox v847.
