Pimp your pedalboard with my branding. Stickman. Hell yeah. Available for purchase at your nearest nowhere. Awwwwww sheittteee, that's some fly ass wah pedal. I want it so bad. Too bad, fools, two dimensional wizards only. Keep it tight. Toan is in the sticks. The unobtainable sticks.

Early 80s dunlop crybaby. Just finished all the moddy mods. It's a very stupid pedal. I swapped all the carbon film resistors for carbon composition, added a little power supply filtration/reverse polarity protection. Swapped the greenie caps with ITW polyester caps (same types that were...

That's more like it. That's pretty clean as a way to incorporate a standby with a switchable rectification circuit. I'm loathe to add two switches, though. Might have to get creative on the backside of the amp. Hadn't thought of going between cathode and fixed bias, either. Probably won't...

Can't say I'm following your train of thought when it comes to splitting the rectifier switch. Maybe I should explain why I'm inclined to do it as an DPDT: Switching under load would be a bad idea: it would result in an instantaneous ~100vdc jump and a corresponding surge in current. I might...

Gonna be a 1x8 combo. Small, portable, good for plugging in with a pedal or two is the idea. Just for a change of pace from my massive FM9 pedalboard & 1500 watt SS poweramp. Going with a toroid transformer has several advantages, not the least of which is the fact that they're significantly...

Seen that site, glanced over it, looks interesting. Was planning on taking a deeper look along the process here. What I've learned so far: not much. Getting the toroid to fit will be interesting. I'm gonna have to have it hang over the side a little, but there's gonna be lots of open space on...

I'm thinking I'm gonna call it the "Ehhhhh, like a chump" Chassis. Wood.

I love high voltages. I eat 480vac for breakfast. I, also, constantly yern for death. So, why not attempt to hasten that by diving headfirst into high DC voltages and learning as I go? Ya know...it just seems right. It's time. My first tube amp build. Fuck yeah. Let's tempt fate...

Haven't had many issues with just the nut on a typical wah. Those tend to have a 3/8" shaft, though 8mm is common as well. What you're probably looking for is called a "Fender Washer". Normal washers tend to be fairly thin, not extending much past the nut. A fender washer is wider and meant...

Personally interested as well. My parasite was built with an Alps RK27. It does the job quite well, but it's not meant for the heavy-duty back and forth rocking of a wah pedal. It's only rated for about 15k cycles...better than some, but goddamn I wish I could find something from the same...

Ain't possible in a crybaby shell. It's designed to keep ya from over-rotating the potentiometer. Can't say exactly how much of the range you get, but I'd reckon it's about 70ish percent. You can replace the bumpers and get a little more range out of it, but the last step in setting up a wah...

Imma gonna need to go over that post a few more times to really absorb it all, but from a first glance: Interesting idea. I'm not sure I'd go with that specific device...I'm sure I can figure out a similar setup with an arduino. Those have 5v outputs and can deal in 5v natively. Probably...

Now use it to burn down capitalism!

Oh shit! Joe found my thread! Whatttt. I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy! Looks like you got larger ferrites than are standard. Still usable, mind you! My experience with N30 as a ferrite grade is that winds of around 20-35 ohms work well for achieving around 500mH. 40AWG is a decent...

Hey now. This forum only has enough room for one long-winded weirdo who's specifically really into the magic sauce of how a wah pedal wahs. Back off, jack. This is my territory. *Shakes fist* I've actually got some insight to this. There was a bit of strangeness in the dunlop JH-1 model in...
