What is the best Wah-pedal I can get for under £100?

Hi, I have been thinking of getting a Wah-pedal for a few months now, but I don't know which one to get. Please help!

Re: What is the best Wah-pedal I can get for under £100?

I have had a half a dozen cry babys over the years and currently have a vintage 70's model that has a mystery Fasel inductor. They have the right feel and Tone and have always gotten the job done for me.

Here is a clip with my 70's crybaby and 03' American Strat....

Look for one with the Fasel inductor. I tried a dozen before settling in on the Zakk Wylde model Cry Baby. Love it!!!

I 2nd this; the Zack model has the best value for money you can get from a Dunlop wah - think they go for around £80 (or cheaper) online which is just £20 more ish than the regular cry baby. The zack model will handle gain alot better aswell which is often a problem with wah pedals. (though not if you don't use gain)

I got the DB01 wah (and I don't even listen to Pantera lol) years ago (£200 was a bit of a dent in my wallet though) but I've dropped that thing down stairs, taken it to just about every gig I've had - and its been totally fine. Plus many sound options for a personal sounding wah. (I'll get to Pantera one day)

MVL.

I wasn't too impressed with my slash wah - that is until I learn't how to use a wah properly. Now I couldn't be happier!

Check out a website called guitarguitar.co.uk.

They are selling the slash wah at £89.99 plus £6 shipping, or the zakk wylde wah for £99 with free shipping. If you wanted to stretch your budget you could get the new Kirk Hammett wah for £139.99 with free shipping.

Which wah-pedals are best for a classic rock kind of tone, because im learning the sweet child o' mine solo and I want a tone like that, and how come everything is so cheap from there?
