Now I no someone is gonna say "just get the cantrell wah" but I have the chance of getting the CAE wah cheap and to me it is the best option of dunlop wah's. Im curious, can it get something similar to Jerry's wah tones?

In a nutshell, on paper, you can get close but there are differences.
Jc sweep range is: 320~390-1050~1270 min - 1700-2070 max
Cae sweep range is:
yellow 400-1.9~2.2
red 255~355-1.3~1.5
The cae yellow is kind of close to the jc95 when the jc95 fine tune pot is maxed out. The car red goes lower than the jc95 and just a bit higher.
Other things to keep in mind:
Cae has a Boost and Q controls. So yeah you can def get in the ballpark. It's not gonna be exact but it will be somewhat close.

I would think so, but...
The heel down position of the Jerry sounds unique to me. I have the knob close to the middle on it. Maybe + a hair further going clockwise. I love, love, love the heel down tone in this position...it made me buy the wah. Did I say love?
I do wish it had just a hair more high end through the sweep. I just find myself more exaggerated in my foot movement than with my old 535Q. I may have my guy mod my 535 to sound like that on the heel down with a slightly wider freq. sweep.

imo, it's worth getting 'close enough' to the cantrell sound and having a wider variety of other wah tones to play around with on the dual inductor than to nail the cantrell sound with his signature wah and ONLY have that one (shapeable) wah tone.
