While my choice as an innovator and live performer would definitely be Hendrix, consider Frank Zappa. Zappa had a tremendous volume of work, spawned the careers of Kennealy, Vai, and others, and was just one hellava player. I would nominate "Dog Breath" off Just Another Band from LA as the greatest recorded usage of the wha pedal.
