So, will a thicker wire need less winds to get it to the required mh? For example, i found one online tutorial to build an inductor using a wah inductor kit (pot core n48, bobbin etc) using 38awg wire and it needed about 500 winds approx to get to around 500mh. Would thicker wire need less winds...

Here’s some pics i’ve taken of the yellow fasel and the VTM620 for comparison:

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, i damaged the windings removing the toroid - the gloop that secured it was doing a fantastic job holding it in the pot cover so the windings were damaged while i scraped away at it to remove the epoxy or whatever it was. That said there wasnt a great deal...

I have a yellow fasel which was dead (i’ve had it a while but couldnt get any readings) - i’ve opened it up today and it’s definately toroid. Looked like the wire going to one of the pins was broke close to th toroid. I’ve prized it out of the cup and removed the wires - on my digital calipers...

Does anybody know what toroid is inside a fasel wah? I’ve build pedal kits for a while now but never had a go at my own inductors. I’ve bought a wah inductor kit from a place in Germany which has a bobbin, n48 pot core, clip and the terminal, similar looking to the “halo” i think. The fasels...
