Modding for a customer i just completed.

Had to change the 2pdt switch for 3pdt so he can have status leds.

That Wah pedal is awesome, going to try it at full volume tomorrow.

I took a couple shots of it, since it's not the kind of pedal that i'll see too often.







This Wah is powered directly to 110v, the only place that i found accessible power for the leds, was on the bulb bracket, wich was giving me a reading of 41volt, 20k resistor on the leds did the job!

That's a beaut!
I've owned several of these...wish I still had one.
You never have to wory about a scratchy wah as it's controlled optically, the pedal raises and lowers a screen between the incandecent bulb at the front and LDR. Such a great idea.
You might want to cover the back of your Led though- in case it leaks any light and interferes with the wah sweep.

Thanks for the advice Ben, I tought about that, but i want to try it loud tomorrow, the bulb really washes everything inside..., If it interfere, some sharpie should do the trick on those leds.

That is killer Rej. How old is that thing?

I used to play with another guitarist who had the volume/boost pedal in that style. Built like a tank, worked great but way too loud when floored!

The owner told me it was from the 70's



Yeah, it's heavy as hell too, but really well built...for the era, with the aluminum foil sticked to the bottome of the enclosure to reflect light for the LDR!lol

I agree that it's pretty loud when completely floored, there's something in that wah that sounds a bit like...vibrato/chorus/trem depending of where you set the pedal and make some subtil weeps.

Pretty cool overall and really that i had too work on one of these
