...just sayin'...
also... you have to tweak the balls just right to hear the wah come out of the noise maker...

i have a bassballs and i used to have a wah and used them together a bit.. i mainly used the wah to really accentuate the bassballs sound.. really make it scream!

If you connected two identical wahs in series it would just make the effect more intense: louder and steeper. More of a boost in the passband and more cut in the stopbands.
If you had two different wahs in series, then it would sound. . . well, that depends on how different they were and what each sounded like. It could sound a like something really crazy or nothing special or no sound at all. Give it a shot. |

So, if those two cut off frequency points coincide, then you'll perceive a bigger boost of that band of frequencies. So, it's still kind of like a band pass filter.
Looking at just the low pass portion, the effect would be to emphasise the slope of the filter. So what you'd hear is a more dramatic attenuation of the low frequencies.
One thing about series wahs; it all depends on whether the sweeps coincide with each other. If the sweep points are slightly out, then it's possible that the two wahs would kind of fight against each other rather than teaming up. After all, they are filters - and they'll happily filter out the effect of the other wah giving the right circumstances. So, to really benefit from two wahs you'll want to play around with those cut off points.
