I have the DB-01, which is apparently very similar to a 535Q, with the addition of a fine tuning knob to adjust the toe frequency.

I find it has a very wide range of adjustment, so that it should in theory be able to emulate most of the other wahs in the range.

I'm not much of a wah user though so I haven't tested all of them out properly

Avoid the DB-02 though. You might get confused if you see those on Ebay.  Those look like the DB-01 but are stuck on one setting and have no adjustment

This video tests the DB-01, Cantrell, and Slash wahs:

I had the gcb95, hendrix, 535q and the jerry cantrell
the 535Q was probably the best, but it was easy to screw up the settings
I like the jerry cantrell better for its simplicity and already well tuned voicing
and its awesome looks, of course

I don't know what kind of wah-sound you're exactly looking for, but the Dunlop MC404 CAE is a great wah with two modes (classic Crybaby and a more rounded wah) and a build in footswitchable and adjustable boost. Easy to operate too.

The comparison videos don't give much of an impression of the more adjustable wahs.

This one just focuses on the DB-01 and gives a full account of the features (most of these are available on the 535Q as well).
