Broooo thanks for posting this 7 years ago, this is Exactly what I’ve been looking for
Please Tutorial volume knob!
Awesome video mate! I'm still confused with wiring of the the extra resistor and capacitor additions. But I'm gonna get onto this.
Thx man , I'm glad you liked it ! The extras (res/cap) are part of the " fat wah" mod . Just follow the pics that are in the description and you shouldn't have a problem . If you still can't make it work let me know and I'll make a more detailed video about it . Btw I'm in a process of building my first Fuzz pedal and soon I'll be uploading the tutorial , so if you're interested just make sure to check back my channel . Cheers!!
I just realized that the links for the pics were deleted by the site I've uploaded them , sorry about that . I'll see if I can fix it .
***** You are my new Wah mod hero! Please make a video about the FAT WAH MOD! I'm confused.
I have finally got my wah working with a red fasel connected and installing a 3DPT true bypass switch. I think I need to do it again though, as to connect an LED the wiring has to be done differently.Can you please tell me what sort of potentiometers you're using? I ordered a 100k Linear-Mono pot. I need to get another. I will do exactly what you did (using 2 100k pots), except I won't attempt the fat wah mod just yet. I'm too inexperienced. I also ordered two BC109C metal transistors to replace the existing transistors (no including the one in the buffer as I broke/scraped the connection).
Man, I love this stuff. I'm a newbie, but have learnt so much because of people like you! Many thanks from London, England :-)
Hey man thx ! Yeah try the 100kA log/audio , I believe 100k linear is B instead of A. Sometimes you find it like A104 writen on pot but it also means 100kA . this coming weekend Ill make another video explaining the Fat Wah mod since you and 2 more people asked for more details . Be careful modding and building pedals, it is extremely addictive :) I started not too long ago and my wah was my first mod , after that I did a mod on the metal zone and now Im in the process of building my first fuzz but troubleshooting is driving me nuts . Ill let you know once the fatwah video is up so you can have a look . Thanks for watching my video . Cheers from Toronto , Canada

will any value over 100k be too much or would it just effect the sweep range
Thanks for the close ups I was able to do the same mods but how do you know what kind of pots to get? I got linear 100k and was asked what wattage I wanted between 0.1 and 1.5w, I had no idea so just took random wattage but worried its gonna fry something.
Tbh I think you can have all the way up to 9 volts ( not so sure since its been a while I dont work with electronics) since thats the battery power that would run through the circuit , I think each value of voltage you'll get different sounds , Im glad you liked the video . Cheers
yea thats a good point, that could explain why I have lost so much treble with my mods, the wattage of all my pots are too low maybe.
I've never really worked with electronics before. Would I be able to add a Q/vocal knob, the volume knob, a true-bypass switch, and an LED indicator without too much trouble, or would mods like those be too difficult without enough experience?
They are very easy to do , my first mod ever is the one on this video and to be honest is not too hard as long as you have some experience with soldering . Another thing is , try one mod at the time , this makes it easier for you when it comes troubleshooting time and also makes easier for you to realize whats what and what it sounded before you modded it . I hope this helps cheers... btw any questions feel free to ask
For the q you removed the resistor completely?
Yes , I removed it and soldered the wire straight from the pcb to the pot
Would a 250 K still work?
Sorry for the late reply , I did this a while ago so I don't really remember but I do remember messing around with 50k and 100k but not sure about 250k , tbh give it a try and see how it sounds . I remember I kept swaping them till I reached the sound I was looking for
@@AlternativeState I only had 50K so I used that and it seems to work. 100 K would probably be better though I'm thinking
Excuse me you have an schematic??
No I dont it's been a while since I did it . Sry
What is the effect of turning the Q knob all the way down? I'm going to do the mod but I wasn't sure if I should put a resistor in series with that pot
Its been a while since I last used my wah so I dont really remember what the Q does all the way down but it controls some equalization , like from bass to treble . As far as the resistor goes just give a try , most of these mods I figured by messing around with mods Ive learned online . Cheers
Thanks for the reply! I enjoyed the video, very helpful. Looking forward to trying the mods!
I thought along the same lines as you. So, I ended up using a 50k linear pot with a 22k resistor in series with the center leg. So my range for the Q adjustment is 22k to 62k. It's a generous, but completely usable sweep.
SalvageSV mess around with the values to get different ranges . Maybe if you remove the resistor it might crank the range up a bit . Let me know if you did anything different or new and maybe Ill try it myself too . Cheers
I might. I want to test the tones here a little more before any more mods. I might swap out the 390 ohm resistor for a higher one if it's still too bright. I just didn't have anything in the 400 ohm range on hand.
Would you be willing to do a step-by-step instructional video for these mods (similar to this one: ruclips.net/video/kqyFsuC9fk4/видео.html)?
Right now Im really busy and I havent had time lately to do videos , plus its been a while I dont do mods so I have to review few things too , Im pretty sure if you follow the example you gave me plus my video you shouldnt have much trouble doing mod on your wah wah . Good luck and rock on !!!!
