I'm not much for effects.
I have a box of effect pedals that I use on rare occasions.
I recently bought a DI so I could electrify my banjo.
It works great through the PA using an XLR connection.

One pedal I had years ago I liked.
It was an auto wah by Boss.
Don't recall the model.
Some of the songs we are playing would sound good with a wah.
I have a Dunlop Cry Baby but it is too much of a pain to use while
standing.
So I took a chance and got (ebay) another Boss auto wah but this is a
newer model with human vowel sounds, tap tempo and several other
settings (AW 3).
It came yesterday and I played with it last night.
After trying different settings I found one that I like.
If I pick gently there is no or very little wah, has the out of phase
sound like a cry baby.
If I pick harder I get a more pronounced wah.
If I hold a note or chord it is a slow wah.
If I pick quickly it has a very funky sound much like in Papa was a
rolling stone.
I can get a huge variety of sounds from just one setting.
Finally found a pedal I like.

Shame your foot can't wiggle instead of tap tap tap (use your other
leg to stand on !) A nice foot and Wha-Wha can do all sorts of tone
shaping, I just love it for an occasional over the top lead effect. -
( I hate the auto wha -so boring). YMMV
