I tried the BOSS, and it's the best bar none. It sounds great, it has vintage and rich modes (I pick vintage), and mechanically it is fantastic to operate, you can ride the wah and keep it at 80-90%, then slam it to 100% for emphasis, and pull it back to 0% effortlessly, it is very smooth. It also doesn't sound harsh at 100%. If you want to play the wah like Joe Satriani and use it as an integral part of your lead play with finer nuances coming from the wah, this is the pedal to go for.
What a Wah does: It boosts certain frequencies, before it hits the preamp section of the amplifier. When the preamp is hit by any boost pedal, it results in a hotter sound. There will be more gain, more treble, more bass. "Saturation" is not the full correct term for it, as this is a result of the power section of the amp beeing so loud, that it starts to clip. Then the tone becomes more powerful and gets more sustain. (@ Everyone correct me, if I am wrong) So, the short answer would be: Yes, both pedals of this video and many other wah pedals do this kind of effect, which is prefered by many musicians. I do not remember exactly how this occurs on wahs with foto cells instead of a poti. Check out the Morley wahs. They still boost, but are way smoother in there frequency range. Good Luck and happy wah wah :-)

boss has more gritty character
Cry baby boosts volume, and saturate clean tones, that's not nice. Does boss do that? Anyone played this?
