Inductor-Based Wah Wah

For this project you can replace the circuit board in your exsisting wah pedal with a very flexible, great sounding circuit. These are wah mods based on Gerben Koopman's wah. This wah has trim pots to tune in great sounds and also capacitor placements to vary the tone range of the wah. This will drop-in to any Dunlop or Vox™ wah pedal.

There are various wiring diagrams listed here to show a few ideas for switching the two inductors.
