Human Gear Animato.

What's your price range? Perhaps one of the Character Series pedals would be just the ticket.

This should be easier to achieve with an EQ and the dist of your choice.
Cut lows and nasal will occur.

Boss ODB-3. Nasal to start with, and has Bass and Treble knobs to tweak degree of nasal to your liking.

Hard to tell if it's the exact sound you want, but you might also try setting a fully-depressed wah before or after the distortion. That Obama wah distortion pedal people are talking about in the forums might do the trick, in fact.

+1 for the human gear animato. It really suits my need for now. But it depend on your budget too. The animato can be pretty close to the RAT... maybe you can take a look at those.

If you don't mind multi-effects processors, the rocktron utopia b100 has some nasally distortion channels.

+1 Was about to suggest that, though could be a pain keeping a single position if you're having to play for a while.

*Lightbulb ping* Whatever Tim Commerford uses at the end of Know Your Enemy (4:00-ish onwards). Apparently it's a Marshall Guv'nor...apparently it's his own wah-pedal frankenstein. But that's nasal, whatever it is.

With some wahs you can just leave it in a certain position and it won't spring back up. The Ibanez Weeping Demon can do that (and it can work in spring-back mode, too). I happen to have one and do just that to make my tone "nasal-er", and it works pretty well (especially when blended back with the clean using the LS-2).

I'm not sure I'd install one of those in the pedalboard *just* for that one use, tho - it's not the smallest footprint you'll ever find, hence my suggestion to try out the Obama Wah distortion (that one I haven't personally heard in action, tho). If you do want a wah, tho, I can never recommend the Demon enough: very versatile, great sound, great price.

Any fixed wah pedal combined with a distortion should do it. In addition to the Obama Wah, there's the Dunlop Q-Zone (the original ones go for pretty cheap on eBay) and the Custom Guitar Gear Jekeko (a boutique clone of the Q zone). Keeley also makes one, but it's quite a bit more expensive than the others.

Usually a "nasal" tone is describing something with a pronounced midrange spike/hump.

Since a wah is usually a band-pass filter, then yes, a half-cocked wah left in a single position will do a very nasally sound.

Any pedal that has a mid knob can get nasally if you crank the mids and turn down the bass and treble. I know that the Guv'nor has a mids knob, as does the VT Bass and the EHX English Muff'n. There are a bunch more, too.

Also, the tubescreamer is well-known for having a very pronounced mid-hump, and its tone is often described as "nasally" or "honky". You might want to check it out, as well as the Fulltone BassDrive and the Xotic BB, which are tubescreamer-based, but modded a bit for bass.
