Several months ago I sent my vintage correct Area 51 Clyde Clone wah-wah back to Dan to see if he could add a little gain to it.  It just so happened he had come up with a clever mod to do just that on his newest model.  The story starts back at the original circuit in the '60's.  I won't go into details but I had noticed my drop-in kit had more gain than the Clyde Clone and when I kicked in the Clyde, I lost a tad of volume and punch.  Dan added a mod that is an internal trim pot so now I can set it up as vintage correct, or like the drop-in kit, or there is a new hyper-drive setting which is magic.  You can hear it here.  To me, it sounds like something Roger Mayer may have done to Jimi's wah-wahs.  It really nails Jimi's sound and I will always keep it in the hyper-drive setting.  The good thing is, it is adjustable so you can take your choice.  Way to go Dan!!  Here's a link to Dan's store:
