  Hmm, thanks. Well after digging into it a bit, it
seems as though a
 proper "wah" effect is an LPF with a resonant peak at the rolloff
 point:

 Apparently very easy to do in hardware (2 transistors, couple caps,
 and an inductor), but I'm not sure where I'd find a LADSPA plugin with
 this particular frequency response characteristic. 
Not *quite* so simple, because the resonance increases as you sweep the
frequency up.  You're increasing the gain of the amplifier quite a
bit...
