What Wah-wah pedal should I get?

I've been using a classic dunlop crybaby but I don't like it. It creates to much noise and is squaky. I'm wondering what other pedal I should get. Is their a better dunlop wah or are vox wah's good? I wanna sound like John Frusciante and Jimi Hendrix.

Buy a Real McCoy (a.k.a. RMC) by Geoffrey Teese Wah. If you really like that "holy grail" classic wah tone, I suggest the RMC-4 better known as the "Picture Wah" based on the original Vox Clyde McCoy that as made in Italy during the 60's. It's a bit Pricey though ($200) for a wah without any trim pots but it's worth it. It has true bypass and well, it's just amazing I guess. You can also check out other models of RMC (which are pricier. I would also recommend the Budda Bud-Wah. It also is a great wah pedal.

When it comes to a squeaky wah, all pot-based wah's (what I mean is wah's utilizing potentiometers for the rocker sweep) will become creaky in the end. The solution for this is by replacing the potentiometer. You can ask the dealer/manufacturer for this.

If you don't want to think about replacing the pot's then I suggest you buy an optical wah like Morley, but the sound they produce are kind of subjective. Some love 'em while others don't.
