their first album was better than their first album

Honestly, it doesn't matter which album was best.
It only matters what album sharpens your axe the best.
I'm trying. Another late one today and again tomorrow.
Half of my night's rest last night was in my driver's seat in my driveway.

No worries brother. It'll be there when you get an opportunity to dig through it.
Pay no mind to my impatience. I just like making jokes. And indulging in a good farce. And comparing everything to blue balls.
Hope ya enjoy

Okay. Buckle up cause whole-lee shit.
Stickers!
W taper pots, clarostats!, pcps, err PCBs for the DEFX wurmloch(DBA flaming lips space ring) with transformers and an Aion Brown source. Never actually gotten around to ordering from either vendor so stoked to build them. 2x stickman customs wah treadle plates (or shitty ninja stars?) including easily dusted fingerprints(bonus!) and wah end plates. Fuzz face ready tagboard with caps included.
Jets and bjts I am actually low on. Solder that was a personal request(want to see if mine is rotten or I just suck), sweeeetches, some 3M hair collector 5000, adapter boards including a dip to sip adapter, sweeeeeeet.
Annnnd theeeeeennnnnnn
So much fuckin more. But, as awesome as the rest is, I'm sending the rest down the road. Not a lack of appreciation but I want it to get used and not just add to all the crap that I have and will never get around to using all of.
So. Down the road to @cwsquared it goes. I cheated a little and asked what cwsquared needed and I think the rest of the box of awesome will be better utilized there.
Trying to up my game and get the last bits together tonight and out tomorrow. I need a bigger box.
Also, @Stickman393, expect a reverse pit before Rudolph shits in your yard. A FIP if you will. Gonna get FIP'ed so hard.
Meanwhile, @cwsquared is getting some double PIF action. Gonna stop before I get in trouble... Thank you @Stickman393 ! I'd shake your hand if I could lose a dimension.

NGL. I can barely remember what I put in there.
Those transformers in the baggie are meant for the DEFX board. There's a PCB-mounted rotary in there for the aion.
Those wah bottom plates are meant to be installed over a thin bottom plate: just to give the Velcro (or dual lock) a bit more solid of an interface.
That dual gang pot would probably be good for a Parasite wah.
Letsseeee....
That turret board was the last thing that I added in there. Whipped that thing up right before I took it off to the mail. Sometimes a guy gets an itch at 7AM on a Saturday morning.
Honestly, I just threw things in the box. Like, ohh, this fits.
As to the prints...you're not a cop, are you? You have to tell me if you are.

yeesh maybe it's for the best the post office is on strike here, I won't live up to all these killer PIFs 
I'm gonna have to do a wash now. Forcing my hand. I guess we all have to woohdily weewh eventually. Only ever had the Ibanez tone lock wah, the demon wah? Don't member. Looked awesome. But was muddy poop and shrieks.

I've got two of those things, both broken in the exact same spot. Ibanez used the same powder press pot metal nonsense on their pivot as they did for the rest of the enclosure. All it takes is one good shock to crack that piece.
It's an inductorless wah...which is to say: it's charm is in its muddy poop and shrieks.
Honestly, if one keeps ones eyes open there's plenty of deals that pop up on eBay. Non-functional wahs pop up all the time. Folks just can't stop using center positive supplies on wahs, it seems.
The normal crybaby is still a through hole affair afaik. One can either use the circuit board inside as a basis for mods, or gut it and throw in a sham-wah.
I wouldn't necessarily recommend the tearjerker right off the bat. That thing is *too* adjustable. Also: I find MPSA18s a bit flat in this circuit. I recommend swapping those with BC109s...lower end of the gain range in Q1, upper end on Q2.
I woulda included some of those if my package with like 100 of em showed up sooner. But alas. I still may. I know where you live, after all.

I missed out on a bundle of 7 "broken" wahs and volume pedals for $50 on CL several months back. Just couldn't get across town to meet the guy. I think he dug them out of the GC dumpster. Really just wanted to do the Zeppelin VP Jr mod, but then I got my visual volume pedal and stopped looking.
Have you tried the madbean Weener wah circuit(Clyde clone)? Looks like Brian has a new board coming for it(pdfs for the new stuff are showing up!). Which circuit would you recommend for beefy resonance sound. Ala "man in a box" though I'm pretty sure there's a talkbox in there too...

Yeah, that's mostly talk box there.
I'm going through a bunch of different of wah builds, because I'm legally insane and obsess wildly on certain things that pique my interest.
I took a look at Bean's board: I'm definitely gonna pick up one when he gets his October releases out *looks at bean, judgingly*.
The old version looks pretty similar to the classic circuit with some notable improvements (better power supply section, options to select range caps ala the 535).
I'm excited to see what his next variation brings to the table. The 2016 variant was already a great layout.
I like the classic circuit, but tweaked. I'm undecided on if I like having a buffer in front of the circuit. My favorite as of right now is my RMC wizard wah, which I un-gooped and traced:
I can't say I understand all the mods here, but a few are pretty well known. Disregard the Q1 and Q2 component designators, those were placeholders.
Otherwise: the DEFX Talk-a-lizer is fantastic for getting some yoy-yoys on.
In the pipeline I've got the DEFX Tresonator, the Fubble Wubble, and the Multiwave Mega. Then the PPCB Sham Wah, and Bean's harbinger 2. Some of those aren't actually wahs, but hey, it all fits in the same shell. I've also got a handful of stock boards that I'm going to mod out.
Stock crybaby shells are great, but I gotta admit that I prefer the tension adjustment mechanism on the imported cheap build it your self shells. They're also MUCH lighter, which is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how big your pedalboard is and how strong your back is.
Oh, and I've got a DEFX Larry that I'm just finishing up too. Fucking flanger is a nightmare to calibrate.
