Out of these 2 wahs I have, I need to pick one, and I need some objective replies, I just cant pick on my own, there are qualities I like in both.
So for your listening pleasure, the two wahs. Let me know which one you like best, the clips are about 30 seconds and get right to the point.

think i would kill myself quickly, if i had to listen to either of them, played like that :P
anywho....i prefer a wah that has a narrow "sweep"; that is, not to much "wah". the very upper and lower extremes can be very unpleasant. a better test would be with lots less distortion, and slow wah cycle, with long notes. i was totally unaware that photobucket hosted video...thanks!
hendrix was one of the few people who used one tastefully and creatively; just mashing up and down on it indiscriminately doesn't do much for me

I don't like just mashing them either, but I was trying to give an idea of the full sweep of both throughout all the strings

Not a big fan of the wah, so probably couldn't help you. Got in a position with one of the bands I was in where I had to have one(played lots of funk as well as old classic rock). Went and got a Dunlop Crybaby. It served it's purpose well, but I never really did get the technique down well enough, IMO. Don't think you could really go wrong with a Crybaby, though.

For me, numero uno,
(or vid # 1 if you don't speak Spanish).Why?
Because it has more sweep,
which you can choose not to use all of,
when you get the feel for when to go all the way or not.
I like the sound of a wah backed down,
then throw in the highs here and there.
Nice shredding!
