Is there an auto wah pedal that can do slow, gradual toe up to toe down sound?

Instead of just the funk style wah. I guess kind of in the style of u2, Radiohead, Coldplay, Hillsong United, etc. I'm looking for a small footprint pedal that can cover the sound of a wah going slowly from toe up to toe down while playing a 2-3 string chord. An actual wah would be ideal but I just don't have the room on my pedalboard.

I think the Boss one can do that.

Instead of an auto wah you might want to check out the Plutoneium Chi-Wah-Wah. It's a "real" wah that's not all that much bigger than a Boss pedal.

You're looking for an LFO (low frequency oscillator) controlled AW and there aren't many that sound very good in free standing pedals. The EH Worm isn't bad. I didn't like the Boss AW at all, although that effect in their GT8 and GT10 is good. A great one can be made in the AxeFx. But as a 'small' free standing pedal, I couldn't find any that worked better than the Worm. And it's a non-standard sized pedal (closer to square than horizontal).

Get a Subdecay Prometheus. It does great modulated wah sounds.

Yeah, just got my Prometheus and it's pretty versatile, I think you could make it do what you want...

Subdecay made an auto-wah before the Promeththeus that supposedly nailed the sound of a regualr wah as opposed to a normal auto-wah. It was called the money-shot, and if you can find one on the used market it will probably be what you're looking for.
