Wah/Volume Pedal

Is there a pedal out there that does both a wah and volume and also has a gain boost on it. If so what do you think of it?

    Thanks. Someone at my local music store mentioned it but I never heard of it either. I wondered if anyone on this forum as ever heard of it.

    Yup, a Mister Super - I have one on my pedalboard.
    I've had it since 1996 - Here's a couple pictures:

    click: Mister Super 2
    Morley also has a couple.
    They call them a Power Wah/Volume and a Pro Series 2 Distortion Wah Volume:

    I used to use the Cry Baby for Wah & Volume, but it's kind of a pain in the
    ass. Now I just use a true bypassed Vox for Wah and the M/S for Volume.
    And now I only use the M/S for volume (at the end of my pedal chain).
    Here's why it's a pain in the ass . . . . . . . .
    The big rubber knob on the side always seems to get turned somehow,
    which messes up the levels (so I taped it down, problem solved).
    However, the boost is automatically activated when you turn power on
    to the pedal, so you actually have to go down and push it in (what you'd
    normally do to engage it), but then you need to push it again to dis-engage
    it (weird). You have to do this every time to have normal un-boosted levels.
    If the pedal loses power it has to be re-set or you're on the boost mode.
    This is what I meant by a pain in the ass - it's actually happened to me
    just before a show - someone stepped on my power cable after I had done
    my soundcheck, and my boards power cut off and on for a second - I didn't
    realize it happened, so of coarse I didn't reset the boost - I ended up playing
    the show with the boost on the entire night (and here I am trying to figure
    out my clean was soooooooooo gritty - I was like "man my signal is hot
    tonight - why can't I get a decent clean tone" - I figured it out after).

    So am I better off getting a separate wah pedal and volume pedal?
