Anyone Ever Built OR Owned A Maestro Boomerang?

If so, how do you like it? How would you compare it to a CryBaby/Vox? And, do you have any tips to share?

I've got an new idea for a DIY wah, and I'm thinking this is the circuit that will go in it...  :wink:

OK then, has anyone ever owned one? If so, how did you like it?

Well, kind of sort of.  A local musician had a Boomer2 which had the wrong pot in it, a dunlop 100k instead of  the specified 25k.  It did the theme from Shaft sound really well.  Anyway I traced the circuit, measured components and built one for myself with a 25k audio taper pot.  

Now I have two rebuilt wahs inside old dunlop shells, a McCoy type with a Q control and the Boomer2 clone.  

I find the B2 a bit mild mannered with the 25k pot but most players who try both of them prefer B2 to the McCoy.  

I’m planning to put in an incorrect 100k pot to get it to sweep abruptly like the one I copied.

Interesting! Thanks for the info.
