I'm right footed so I use my right foot. If I didn't, I'd probably fall over durring my "wah, hammer on/pull off, neck bend, string rake" fills.

I'm a righty but my usual "stage stance" would prevent me from using my right foot for the wah. (my stance is very similar to Iron Maiden guitarists) so my right foot is way in the back and I usually lean back on it a lot. When on stage I would use my left foot but if I were just sitting down playing I'd use my right.

I use 2 wah's at the same time and do kind of a stair climber type of movement, by the way I have a left footed wah for sale if anyone needs one......

I don't have a wah - but I operate my Zoom505II with my left foot when I'm standing and my right foot when I'm sitting. And I'm a lefty.

Sometimes I'm too anxious to play where I'm only half way through putting my pants on in the morning. So, like the saying goes, "it's one leg at a time," sometimes when my right foot is in, my left is free to wail away on my wah...

Seriously, I really favor my Wah Wah pedal in more ways than one, however, I don't use it as a crutch. I'm sure you guys have notoiced that a lot of musicians use the wah wah pedal today to conceal their insecurities (cough Godsmack cough.) I personally feel that the wah wah pedal is great in a poitnch whgich definitely adds more fluidity to your style. Stomp it with all your might, but only use it when necessary.
