I've had 2 wah wah's and I'm still not completely satisified. I first had the Crybaby GCB95, and now I have the Jimi Hendrix Crybaby. The JH-1 was closer to what I wanted but still not what I'm really looking for. I want the same sound as "all along the watchtower" solo..I'm looking for something really quacky. The next 2 I'm looking at are the 535Q and Vox wah. Any other advice?

I have had both of the Dunlop's you have had (Standard and the JH) and I currently have the 535Q. I personally think the 535Q is the best of the bunch !

tunable Q and adjustable sweep means I can really tweak it out. THe extra choke on the JH was nice however I can do than and a bunch of other stuff on the 535Q. The 535Q also has a boost but not a distortion like the JH so it wont do that distortion before the wah quack like the JH however that is east enough to sort if it is what you want !!

Any opinions on the Vox?

Although, I'll definetly be trying out the 535Q on Saturday!

hate to rhyme, but the Vox rocks- I was originally used to a Dunlop wah, and the vox is a bit different, but I would take vox over dunlop any day (but i'm kinda nutty like that) :D

The Vox is a lot more mid-rangey than the typical Crybaby tone -- people who do a lot of SRV seem to prefer the Vox.

All of these wahs are quality effects; my advice is see if you can't go to your local guitar store and try them out, side by side. It's the only way to see which is really going to work better for you.

The wha on the pod pro is modeled after a Vox and it is very cool indeed.

Try the Morely Steve Vai "Bad Horsie" that thing is awesome. I heard they now have a "Bad Horsie 2"

I use the George Dennis GD030, i'm not sure it'd be the sound you're looking for however. Nice sounding wah though.
