Deep low range wah, is it Jimi though?
Voiced dark, no matter how much of an adjustment you do to the wah treadle and pot. Does this really sound like the wah Jimi used? I don't think so but it does have a nice sound. Downside is this isn't true bypass or buffered so use with fuzzes can be a mixed bag. Looks great with the finish and the Jimi signature on the front. Always stays on the board for me even though it isn't used the most. Will colour the sound slightly but in a positive way.

Darker-sounding wah with very sensitive midpoint
I have mixed feelings about the Hendrix wah, which is not a pedal I use enough of to really be a connoisseur of. The signal and sound are very clean and it's clearly a professional piece of kit. The dark end of the pedal is much darker than the standard Crybaby, which might help control the quack of a vintage Strat, but I find it's a little muddy even on my single-coil Strat clones. You only need to account for that brightness in one or two places, and if your rig is already set up to be balanced, this might be too much.
The frequency change sits almost all in one end of the rocker pedal's travel range. If you're pumping it for Voodoo-Chile-style effect or making a '70s erotic film soundtrack, that's not a big problem, but you may find if you use the pedal for nuance that the rapid frequency shift over 10-20% of the pedal's travel gets some real getting used to.

My wah.
I am not a "wah-man", but even I need this sometimes. I owned Stagg previously and it sucked seriously, so this really saved my day when I play wah. Good controls, good sound.

Jim Root also talks about the two wah pedals, the Dunlop Crybaby with rack mount as well as a Jimi Hendrix signature wah pedal, both used because of the different sound effects.
"This Dunlop JH-1B Hendrix Wah is part of the private collection of J Mascis.
One of several killer wah pedals J is offering here in his shop. The wah is a signature part of J's sound and this JH-1B is clean as a whistle. The signature wah pedal of Jimi Hendrix.
This pedal is practically new in box. Plug and play your favorite riff from Where You Been.. or Voodoo Chile. Power supply is NOT included."
