Recommend me a psychedelic wah

Dopesick

I've decided I'm going to go into wah territory for the first time, but have seen the choices on offer and it makes my head spin.

I need a wah that is perfect for slow sweeping psychedelic washes (horrible choice of words) rather than being used in solos. It'd be used in conjunction with a delay I would imagine. The trippier the better.

I have no complaints about my Vox, although I do prefer my old JEN. Psychedelic is what I tend to consider to be the type of music I play.

Colorsound wah had one of the widest sweeps I ever encountered, making it good for that sort of technique...

A Coloursound has just gone up on eBay

It's not that wah that makes it psychedelic, it's what you do with it, maaaan.

Pretty much what I was thinking.  For my conventional pedal board I have a rather smart chrome plated (bugger to keep shiny though) Vox V847 that sounds really nice - it's the classic wah that Hendrix used and he could be pretty psychodelic!  

Of course there are other variations and makes, so it's just a question of finding something that suits you.  The Dunlop Crybaby as used by Clapton is a classic too, and others like Morley etc.  There are also some interesting 'programmable' wah's with a choice of wah tones, adjustable sweep ranges, and extra features that can give huge flexibility such as the Boss PW10-Wah.  Boss say:

The amazing BOSS PW-10 V-Wah is likely to be the last wah pedal you'll ever need or want. This first-of-its-kind programmable modeling wah gives you instant access to six classic and modern wah pedal sounds, as well as all-new "Double resonance," "Uni-V" and "Voice" sounds never found in a wah pedal before! Plus the V-Wah features onboard overdrive/booster effects, three digital memories for storing your favorite sounds, noise-free infrared operation and more.

I tried one a couple of years back and it was really good - but as I rarely use wah, I just stuck with the V847 that I had.

Rare but has a wah with almost a whoosh choking wah: Marshall supa wah (not sure about the spelling).

what about the Digitech Jimi Hendrix Experience Expression Pedal?  Declan Donnelly takes time out of his Jungle duties to demo it for you...
