I need a nice fuzz pedal. I heard the musket is a good choice. What do you guys think?

Also, I'm looking for a good wah pedal. Mainly looking at the Crybaby105q I believe it's called. What other Wahs have you all had a good experience with?

Thanks!
 
The Musket is basically a soup-ed up full-featured Big Muff. As long as you like the Big Muff sound, then it is a fantastic choice. I have a Musket myself and totally dig it.

As for wahs, I used to have the Crybaby 105Q, but have now moved on. A lot of people here really dig the wahs by Wilson Effects. I own one of his Freaker Wahs, and totally recommend his whole lineup.
 
Another excellent bass wah is the G Lab Bass Wowee. Sounds great, and it has pressure activation (similar to the 105Q) but is still true bypass. I've owned Wilson Wahs (in fact, bigchief's Freaker was mine), and they are top-notch products from a great guy.
 
I'm looking for a wah that is capable of being activated and positioned in a certain spot for a cool sound. I think the G Lab one is deactivated when ur foot comes off of it. Are the Wilson effects pedals able to do this?
