I tend to disagree about crybaby's.
I've recently acquired an CAE m-404 wah. It's incredibly versatile and stands out from other crybaby's.
I have also owned the CFH wah, ZW wah, & fasel & non-fasel std crybaby and they each have their own individuality. You can even check my video on youtube comparing 3 of the above wahs.
I recently sold my Morley Tremonti which has a very modern sweep; quite aggressive with a sweet mid range. I highly recommend the Tremonti.

Vox.

I tried out a Vox wah which was cheap.. but found I didn't really know what to do with it... I'm not sure if a wah suits my playing.. yet.

I'd spend anything depending how good the wah is I guess. I'll check out the recommendations given :)

Have to find some wah examples used in metal, power metal and such.. ive never really noticed the wah in what i listen to :\

I don't really listen to Metallica but i'll have to check out some solos to hear how Kirk uses the wah. Any recommendations?

Sadly I won't be getting a wah until after xmas, turns out I spend all my student loan already :lol

I didnt like the Wylde one too much, but the Hammett one was pretty good

The wylde wah is definately different. I thought the hammett sounded too close to what a regular crybaby sounds like. I liked the way the Wylde sounded with notes in a lower register, if I was into the meedly-meedly stuff more I'd probably have gone with the Dime or the Hammett. I generally only use my wah for riffs and lower solos.

i'm probably going with the jerry cantrell signature cry baby with a mid scoop. right now i have a basic standard cry baby and it kinda sucks. not adjustable.

I'd think you could get pretty close if not exactly like the Jerry Cantrell with either the 535Q or Dime CFH. I use the 535Q and it actually came with settings to try in the manual. Jerry Cantrell was one and I thought it nailed it when I would jam along with Dirt. I would just get the CFH tho now because the fine tune knob really allows even more tweaking. I really liked it but cant justify spending that much on basically the same thing I have, plus one knob.

Havent played the JC wah but I'd bet its pretty much the same as the 535Q on "his settings." The CFH and 535Q have way more options too.

If you hate the ears of everyone around you, go for a Slash wah.

lol.............thats how I felt when I played it. Well with the distortion switch in anyway. Without that it wasnt bad, but basically a 535Q. so yeah.....

i personally like the Jerry Cantrell wah. Nice but not overpowering. For metal tho I would say maybe the WYlde wah.

everyone loves the Wylde wah lol. I didnt like it actually for metal and thought it was better on a cleaner tone. I always seemed to notice that since the lows (heel down) are so........not sure how to describe it..."gutteral"?....."vocal" maybe??....anyway....(for those that havent heard one......it sounds just like on the albums or live) the lows are so intense that you drop right out of the mix. I'd be doing leads and you would only be able to make out the notes when I was toe down. Tried adjusting the pot to have more of the high sweep but just couldnt get it right.

I have one of those, a 535Q, and a regular Dunlop now. Had a Vox 847 (i think it was?), an original Vox (from pops), a Vox Clyde McCoy (<<
