If you want a flat wound'ish sound maybe get some ghs boomers. They die and get muddy pretty fast IMO.

You will have zero problem getting a awesome tone with that wah. If the wife and i weren't hung over, i'd do a demo with my p with flats and the wah.

You probably wont find a bigger flat in a local shop then a .105. Plus the extra tension from flats you wont need a thicker string. maybe a .110 I don't drop tune with flats, some other people will have to chime in with more experience

I use chrome .105s for c-standard. They work alright and stay in tune, so works for me.

I have LaBella .110 flats and they are good for C. At first I thought like you that it wouldn't be enough, but after asking here I tried them and it's fine now.

I got one really good trade in from GC. I traded a 70's silver face twin reverb which I never used for my first two moog pedals (murf & freqbox). The thing that made the deal awesome was that I got the Twin for around $450. GC gave me about $700 in trade for it. Not too bad.
