I want one too.

Theres no such thing as 'the best', it depends what you want it for. There are some that have a wider range, some that can handle distortion better, etc etc.

And they're great for rhythm too, which is why I want one actually (I can't solo very well), because wah works really well for reggae rhythm :)

I thought Dunlop makes the best wah pedals.

There is no 'best'. Best is an extremely subjective term.

Depends what you want it for. Figure out roughly what you want it for, and then read up on the reviews. Theres plenty of information out there.

I'd suggest going to a music store and having a go of some pedals. You'll soon know what ones you like/dislike.

It's always best if you can use a similar guitar/amp setup as you have at home at the store too, just so you know what you're getting.

Listen to Ally, I feel the exact same way, in fact, you have been given very similar advice in your Line 6 column. Go try the Dunlop's and Morley's out. There is also Vox and some others. YOU, have to go and test drive them.

Ditto. Some wahs have a wide sweep, some are darker then others. You really have to pick something like that out yourself. That way you don't end up feeling like an idiot when you wind up with something you don't like that you spent $100 on.
