Of all of those, I find the Budda the best. I had the Teese and thought the Budda beat it no problem. I think the Clyde is too overbearing and sounds sort of fake to me. My current is the Dunlop Crybaby 95Q. I like the 95Q because it is so easy to use, since it is an optical wah - you don't have to think about turning it on/off before using and that means everything to me when playing with a band or live. However, I rarely use a wah. For tone alone, I'd choose the Budda.

Now, a friend of mine ended up picking up a used Standard Crybaby wah and did some mods he learned out of a book and a few sites and now finds it to be the best wah he owns.
 
I am shocked people like the fulltone. One of the modes I found useless and the rest sounded somewhat synthetic. Doesn't anyone hear that?
I use the Crybaby 95Q BUT sometimes wish I had a wah that sounded a bit fatter, warmer like the Dunlop Classic. Thing is....even though the heel down
position can be a pain with the switchless wahs like the 95Q because if you go down too far, it will cut out or turn off......but it is also a benefit because you don't have to think about it, just step on it.....which leavse you open to use it whenever you want in a song!
 
I owned a 95Q, a Vox, a Crybaby ,a Fulltone Clyde Standard and a Budda...I now use an Ibanez Demon...It's completely tuneable..Variable Mid Q, volume, bass..Something you don't like in the sound??...change it.....springsback automatically and shuts off if you want it to.true bypass as well...Built like a tank......and they're $99

Always struck me as being sort of a "metal" pedal. Does it have classic WAH tones in it or does it have that funky optical filter Morley kind of tone to it?

No, it's very classic sounding...not like the Morley stuff....
