The amp frusciante is playing in that record is overdriven. hence why it sound like the wah comes before the distortion!

Yes, he said it once in an interview:

"What’s the wah in the intro of “Get on Top?”
It’s the Ibanez WH-10. They don’t make them anymore, but it’s the only wah I use. Other wah pedals are very wrong for me.

What’s the difference?
There’s this huge difference. Other wahs seem to cut the volume in alf and the tone isn’t as thick – it’s suddenly smaller. With the Ibanez, the tone stays big, and it has a really wide range. It also has a switch for either bass or guitar. For “Get on Top,” I used the bass setting. The solo on “I Like Dirt” was played with the guitar setting."

Hope that could help you..
