0175westwood29 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 ive just got myself a dunlop crybaby zakk wylde wah love the sound but i really hate having to turn it on via the switch unlike the bass crybaby where you can just stand on it! ive thought of two things i can do to sort this, move the switch so i can turn it on like a pedal, or build a tb loop pedal so the wah can be on the whole time. or im considering just making it like the bass wah? is this possible? andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of doing the bass mod and the vocal sweep and maybe the TB too if I can find a suitable footswitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I did the bass mod (.68uf cap i think) and the TB mod by removing the buffer and replacing the switch. I also did the vocal mod, but used a variable resistor instead of a fixed one. This meant drilling a hole in the case, but I only paid £20 for it eBay.

Might get a PCB mounted variable resistor instead of a pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
