Really cheap ones can add hiss/background hum to your signal, or not be heavy duty enough to hold up very long. And others have settings for more control. You can get something decent for under $100.00, but less than $60.00 is getting pretty cheap. I use the one built into my Boss GT6 with satisfactory results.

I'd advise saving your money to get a good quality Wah Wah pedal, because you won't regret it. But you could get a cheap one, but odds are greater that you won't get the sound you want. As for the actual pedals...I think the Crybaby is the best Wah Wah you can buy. I got a 95Q Crybaby, and it comes with a volume knob, a 16 decibel gain boost(for a real dirty sweep), and an adjustable Q control(so I can get alot of sounds out of it :wink: . Oh yea, it also has an auto return feature, so you don't have to click a button to turn the wah effect on and off, you just step on it to wah your sound, and step off to turn of the effect...cool ya? :sun But any Crybaby is good; Vox, and Morley have a good reputation too.

One thing we havent mentioned---You may find you must unplug your guitar cord when you are not using the wah, or it will drain the battery!
