Vintage Wah...
So I already built a weener wah, which is based on the clyde mccoyBut I wanted to built a Clyde McCoy Wah as possible to the vintage specs as I could get. And I wanted to keep it simple, not extra switches etc...
I used the schematic from fuzz central:

It's cool for this pedal with features:
ReplyDeleteSought-after vintage effect from the '60s
The original was famous for making the sound of a muted trumpet
Reissue contains a tone-critical part, a custom-tuned inductor, made by the original manufacturer
True bypass switch
Newly designed custom-taper potentiometer
