Hello.
I've read through the posts I have found and it seems that no one else is having trouble with this pedal.
I've built it twice now with different pots and inductors. I've used both the dunlap red like I've seen posted and I've used this interesting one I found on Small Bear (https://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/sabbadius-soul-inductor/). It's 600mH. I'm not sure if there are other requirements. I also used different pots, this current version uses this pot - https://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/wah-pot-the-black-bear-100k/
It seems the Soul inductor worked better than the dunlap but maybe I didn't test right (That inductor went into another wah that is working perfectly and sounds hella sweet). I can get something that sounds right if I turn the tone on the guitar all the way down and on the neck humbucker. It's really quiet but sounds like a wah. But if I turn on 7 or 8 dip switch and maybe 6, it squeals. if i turn up the tone knob, it squeals. At some settings, the dip switches act like an octave scale even.
Almost all parts come from Mouser unless they don't have it then I get it from LoveMySwitches, Small Bear or StompBoxParts. All of which have given me great components so far. I've completed almost 300 working pedals (maybe 20 nonworking that I'll get back to some day) in the last 3 months and learning as much and as fast as I can but this one stumps me.
Let me know if I left out crucial details. I think that's everything.
