What method do you use for desoldering parts? Here's what I do: 1) Soldering iron is VERY important. It should be temperature adjustable. The tip should be large enough (have enough mass) to instantly melt the solder-THIS IS CRITICAL. Use Flux on solder joint to aid heat transfer. 2) I...

Are you SURE C15 is ok? It does not take much melting damage to ruin one of these caps, you'd need to isolate (remove) it and test it to be sure it's good. At that point might as well replace it if you have another one.

Yellow and Cream.

Just received notification that my August 30 order with two 125B enclosures just shipped. They were different but both had powdercoat, drilling and UV printing. 8 days from placing order to shipped with tracking info available on UPS site that they are in possession of package.

Check that the pinion gear (fits on pot shaft) and (straight) rack gears' teeth are the same size. The pinion gear should roll easily and smoothly along the rack. The gears and racks that come with the wah enclosures do not work with Dunlop gears/racks because the teeth are different sizes.

Tayda. Especially if you want the boxes drilled, powder coated and UV printed.

I was mistaken, I actually ordered the 3P4T switch. As viewed from the top, fully CCW connects A to 1. Fully CW connects A to 4.

@apierz I'm pretty sure I just received one of these 4P3T switches from Tayda in my last shipment. I'll check tomorrow and if so, ohm it out and post the results.

I would use a DPDT ON-ON switch (NOT ON-OFF-ON), one set of contacts to replace the DIP Switch and one set for the LED.

Following up: These showed up yesterday. They are the same as those AP (Amplified Parts) sells (I recently bought a couple from them). Decent quality but the rack & pinions are not compatible with the Dunlop rack & pinions, different size teeth. This goes for both the AP and Alibaba enclosures.

I just ordered a couple of 125B enclosures from Tayda, simply posting this as a data point. They are for the 6 band Slider EQ with the individual slots as cutouts on the enclosure, with UV prints, different Powder Coat colors and separate print designs. Last Sunday I made orders from Tayda...

DIP switches are simple SPST switches, but i don't think I've seen SPST Mini switches. SPDT will work fine, one for each individual switch in the DIP switch package. DPDT will work but take up more space and you will waste a set of contacts.

I don't think so, I believe Daier has a good reputation but I could be mistaken. I would order 1 or 2 if shipping isn't bad to see prior ro making a large order. Personally I've got two Daier wah pedals on the way, they look like the same thing AP is selling for about 2/3 the price with tarriffs.

No, I have not tried a W taper. It is going to be really sensitive in the middle of the adjustment and easier to tune (not as sensitive to adjustment) at the extremes of the pot travel. I'm interested to see how this works out for you, what you think of the finished product. I have only...

In order to keep the same filter parameters (center freqs and bandwidth) I would use W50K.
