Excellent, thank you mauruiz!
Here is a complete, tweaked-and-sweated-over list of everything shared in this thread and elsewhere on the forum:
Alternate tweaks in blue.
EDIT:
This list has been superseded. No, that doesn't mean 300 peeps are seeding it on The Pirate Bay, but that it's been moved to its own thread and placed in the first post.
You can find it here:
I'll leave this one up here as it's part of the history of the list. I'll also not delete or edit the debate as to where it ought to be placed.

Some tips:
If you use quite a bit of bass in your tone, you may be using more than I as I favour hot-rodded Marshall Plexi tones. Try increasing the manual level so you don't end up with almost a fundamental bass note in the lowest-wah position. Increasing the manual also extends how far up the top range you can go. Think of manual as the start-frequency range of the wah.
If you increase the peak more you will get an even more-pronounced, modern-wah effect in the higher / treble positions. Lower to reduce the effect and to go more in the direction of traditional wah sounds.
If you find it's still losing the tone and sounding thin, try reducing the pedal range below +40% to say 35% or 30%; that will bring more "guitar" to the tone

I play both my LP Deluxe and AR305 with the volume dimmed, and my AR has a unity-gain preamp onboard. This would explain why Kulle had to make the tweaks that follow. I think everyone should expect to have to tweak these a bit no matter what.

I finally ran the Kemper CAE Wah preset compared to the real thing and did a side-by-side. Once I turned that down to 65% and the Pedal range to +40%, it sounded identical.

In my opinion it is a very-nice one, because it's well-balanced.

It isn't a 1:1, but it sounds convincing. The Dunlop isn't as "digitally-perfect" in the sweep as the Kemper, and the ME expression pedal (the EP1-KP) that I have has a much-wider sweep than the JC-95. The sweep is the thing I love the most on the real thing. It's pretty narrow, but it feels awesome; you're never "off" anywhere. The knob setting I use on the Dunlop is slightly off-center, towards the more high-end setting.

More-powerful bass. More-aggressive treble and presence.
Can sound synthetic or "plasticky" in some situations or a little spooky and corrosive.

It is not based on any "real" wah that I know of; I was just messing around.
