Last year, I decided that I needed a wah again, and after checking the price of the one I used to have (Morley Bad Horsie), laughing in shock and stepping away from the computer, I bought an Electro Harmonix Wailer Wah from my local music shop. Lovely sound, but I just couldn't get on with the mechanical feel of the treadle or clicking it forwards to turn on and off... a little bit of investigation and I discovered that the Wailer was a cheaper version of the Crying Tone, so I investigated that. Still need to rocj it forward to turn it on and off but there's no button, and since there are literally no moving parts, it felt much smoother than the Wailer.
I still wanted one without a switch though, so after some more investigation I bought a 95Q Switchless Crybaby from GAK. Didn't really like it; it sounded much thinner than the Crying Tone, so it went back.
More online research convinced me that what I needed was an Ibanez Weeping Demon. Again, silly money though... but my friend was selling one and let me have it for a bit less than all the others I could find online.
I finally got it home on Friday and I've spent the weekend playing with it and the Crying Tone... and the Crying Tone has got it beaten in every department apart from switchless operation! So it looks like I'll just need to get used to turning it on and off when I need it.
Anyone want to buy a Weeping Demon?
Too much gain... is just about enough \m/

Built in fuzz buffer too.
That's the standard BMF wah which I believe is based on a Maestro Boomarang. I bought one after seeing Marc Ford use it live and talking to Scott at BMF. He drop in boards cloning a whole bunch of different wahs so it's easy to change it up if you want another flavour.
Got mine from Joes Pedals here in the UK who I'd buy everything from if he stocked everything.
Sorry for derailing the thread.
