I have heard good stuff about the Bad Horsey. Amongst Crybaby's there are several to chose from. Mine is model GCB-95 and I like it well enough. Vox also makes one that is supposed to me pretty transparent but good sounding...Real McCoy? Try as many as you can with your guitar and see which you like the best. I use my wah not so much for wah but set it in the middle for a midrange tone on lead stuff although I rarely use it. I dial in my amp, with the guitar volume all the way up and find a lead tone and volume I am comfortable with and just roll off the volume for a bit for non lead stuff. If I need more punch I might add a Boss BD-2 for a little more poop but often don't need that. For what its worth also, Keeley will mod just about any pedal you need.
