any advice would be helpfull cheers.:help:
 
I use the Morley dual wah. It's a great pedal. It's the only pedal that I always leave connected in my rig. Other pedals come and go but that one is always there.

I understand that pedal is also used by Bill Dickens (if that matters to you).
 
distortion / drive wise i've had good experiences with the MXR bass DI+, Drive side of the hartke VXL , Ashdown LoMenzo Hyperdrive, boss MD2, bass big muff. All have got me similar sounds to cliff, megadeth player of the week, trujillo (pre metallica and current).

Wah wise, i found th dunlop 105q to be too subtle, no matter how i set the controls, and thought it sounded like a wah with a small w - too polite. my experience of the morley wahs is not huge, but the ones i tried didn't quite get the sounds i was after. However the wah i have been using for nearly five years now, with no real thought of replacing is the Ibanez Weeping Demon. It is the single most adjustable wah i have ever come across. It wahs with a very large capital W. i like it so much i now have two!
