Unfortunately the guitar synth pedals seem mostly to be designed to create more aggressive sounds than the type of thing you're looking for. What you need is a synthesizer that can allow you to contour the harmonic content of your signal and the attack to give you the blatty pitch warble of Miles' attack. I think playing around with a wah as a filter is a good idea as is playing with the tone knob and eq, but like I said, what a stemless harmon mute seems to do to the trumpet is reduce the amplitute of the trumpet's fundamental frequency while effectively boosting upper order harmonics tho, of course, the harmonic content of a trumpet is different from the harmonic content of an electric guitar to begin with. You're just going to have to get to a guitar sound you like that has similar qualities. I don't think you're going to get a trumpet-like timbre out of a guitar with a clean sound, certainly you're not easily going to approximate the breathiness of Miles' harmon mute playing with a clean sound, or the brassy, splatty quality of an trumpet. Yeah, I figured you were looking for something clean.

Most professional trumpet players today can manage a G above the high C and some trumpet players can handle notes an octave above that.

There are two octaves of pedal tones below that low F sharp. Weird question that I would think only a guy like Adrian Belew could answer. Pedal tones (these are basically false notes and the tone varies by the player), are commonly used in the contemporary repertoire for the instrument. Most like that's just gonna get your an odd sounding guitar. One could try to filter/eq the guitar to match the frequency profile of a close miked harmon muted trumpet, maybe play around with mixing in some signal from a ring modulator to get a bit of a more metallic timbre, but that's really not going to get the guitar to have the envelope characteristics of a muted trumpet. The other thing one could do is consider how the Harmon mute works- like a filter emphasising the trumpet's higher harmonics while knocking down some of the lower ones and reducing the amplitute of the fundamental. I don't know if the OP is looking to get his guitar literally to sound like a Harmon muted trumpet, which, I would thinking, could only be acheived by midi triggering a syth or sampler. Miles of course famously used a Hamon mute mostly without the stem and played fairly quietly but very close to a mike to get that breathy timbre.
