I forgot where i seen it but there was a site that showed using a RS transf for a wah. I saw one today and thought about getting it but didnt. I still might.

Has anyone done this yet?

Yes I have done this. You know, it didn't sound too good to me, but others have said it can work.

That being said, you know, if you wanted inductors, I can get the dunlop ones at a decent price.

Hi.  I've done this.  It worked quite well (95% as good as a CryBaby).

We don't have RS in Oz, but the part seems to be the same - a miniature 3K:3K transformer.  They're only a couple of bucks, and it's HEAPS less works than winding your own inductor.

good luck

I did it too, not good. Best to use that transformer for a low powered amp output transformer.

Not radio shack, but similar...not impressed...
