About the Jimi Hendrix wah, It is believed he used both a Crybaby and a Vox Wah.
Jimi Hendrix is widely considered to have been a master of the wah pedal, and was one of its earliest users. He was believed to have used the Crybaby, but he more often used a Vox wah, on such recordings as "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", in which he used the Vox Clyde McCoy model. Frank Zappa introduced Hendrix to the wah.
