If by depth you mean variation between heel and toe on the wah (sweep 
range of the cutoff frequency) -- yes.  In fact, it has too much for a 
guitar... which is why it's a good idea to limit the range.

But yes, adding it to something pre-recorded will be different depending 
on your attacks in the music.  Also, according to Fons, the Drive setting 
depends very much on the strength of the input signal.

OTOH, the resonance is a little narrow for my tastes.  When the cutoff 
freq. is low -- it's missing too many highs.  When the cutoff freq. is 
high... it cuts off too many lows.  But this is just a taste issue. 
Talking with Fons, he set the Q on the resonance to match a hardware wah 
that he was working with.  (Fons also said he would add a Q-parameter in a 
future release.)

HTH,
