What sound or sounds are you after? I use the Ibanez Weeping Demon WD7, which offers a wide range of tonal control, and tonelok buttons that help keep it the way you like it. However, there are other really good ones out there. The Dunlop Crybaby gives a fairly decent classic Hendrix sound, but be forewarned, it's a one-trick pony. The Morley Bad Horsie (there's a couple of versions out there) are what Steve Vai uses. The WD7 is priced somewhere in between Dunlop and Morley. Consider what you're willing to pay, the features and controls, and of course, the sound you want to make.
Tone is subjective. I have played guitar for over 40 years. I own or have owned most major brands and models of amplifiers at one time or another. Most gutarists would agree that tube amps give the best sound. Also, playing style plays a large part in personal tone. All that being said, let's talk about digital modelers, or multiple effects units. In the last 10 years or so digital modelers have become very popular. I have owned line 6 PODS, various boss units(GT-6, GT-10). VOX TonelabSE, and Zoom. There are many more brands. Of the models I have mentioned, while doing a good job, never really did it for me live. I always wanted a unit that I could plug direct into the PA mixing board and come back through the monitors. Last June, I bought an AXE-FX Standard from Fractal Audio. This unit has blown me away. My amp set up right now is Carr Rambler, with a Pedalboard. On the Pedalboard is. a Keeley Compressor, Xotic RC Booster, Keeley Modified Boss Blues Driver, Barber LTD, Xotic BB, Enie Ball Jr. Volume pedal, Wampler Analog Delay, and an Analogman Chorus. The AXE_FX has replaced all this and does it better. The sound is actually better. Anyone looking for a MultiEffects processor should look at the Fractal Audio, Axe-Fx Jim
The Hotcake distortion pedal, invented and manufactured by Paul Crowther in New Zealand.
There is no such thing as best, because it all varies by taste. Tubescreamer and Metalzone and several other pedals have regained their popularity through out the times.

buy a wah pedal and figure it out. shouldn't be too hard.
Wah Wah pedal, Octavio, Fuzz Face, and many others.
I think you mean "what is a wah wah pedal?". There is an accessory which is a pedal for guitar. You rock it back and forth and what results resembles the sound of exactly that, wah wah. It is made by changing the tone of the guitar back and forth from treble, or a high sound, to bass, or a low sound. Listen to a song by Cream called "White Room" for a great example.
A wah-wah pedal is a pedal used for an Electric Guitar which imitates the sound of the human voice.
Unfortunately, a wah wah pedal is only used for guitars. A wah wah pedal (or just wah pedal) is used to mimick a human voice by altering the tone of the guitar.

That's a good question, he uses a wah-wah during the receding parts of his notes...but you wont get the exact same sound as he does it without a wah-wah. but the best thing you can do to get it close is to do bend and while you're bending the end of the note close it in with a whammy. buy a wah wah pedal. but even with the wah-wah pedal, it is unlikely that you will ever get close to being able to play like Tom Morello.
the Dunlop KH95 Kirk Hammett Signature Crybaby
I would say a Wah Wah pedal and some type of distortion.

The Fasel inductor is an electronic component inside the Wah Wah pedal that gives that real cool low end growl and wide sweeping depth to the Wah as heard in Hendrix's "Rainy Day, Dream Away". The Wah with the non-Fasel inductor sounds fine... until you hear a Wah with the Fasel inductor. Sadly the non-Fasel Wah pedal simply does not have the same growl and intensity as the Fasel Wah Wah pedal. I have both and tested them side by side. I'm trying to determine if my 1970s pedals have the Fasel or not.
