I took the guts out of my Maestro Boomerang and stuck it in a crybaby casing. The boomerang case had bad action, wasn't smooth. Got it all in there nicely but when I tried it out it was reversed...as in when the heel is down the wah freq is high. I realized it's because the pot itself is facing a different direction so I though it would be fixed by switch the 2 outside leads of the pot around. Now the pedal works fine when it's in volume pedal mode but when I switch the wah on it's still working like a volume pedal but the tone is different. It sounds like a parked wah but the pedal is still in volume pedal mode. What can I do to fix this?

switch the leads back, and swap lug 2 and 1. At a guess......

I thought I already posted this but I guess it didn't register.

anyhoo, I figured it out.  Part of the circuit was touching the casing, grounding it.  For some reason this was causing it to act this way.  Works great now
