vishay 1/8 watt metal film resistors...they do look like sausages

cool.

thanks battle!

what about a SEWING FOOT??? CAN I USE THIS FOR A WAH WAH SHELL?

with a little bit of work, it also has been done

As usual, I also have to suggest the Maestro Boomerang - the best sounding wah ever, IMO. You can see my Boomerang projects at my website.

I think Im going to give that one a try and use your layout. I figure since I have an extra shell around I might as well. Sounds really intersting!

[Paul Marossy]

Cool. I love the Boomerang circuit! I like it with a yellow Fasel the best, although the inductors currently used in the GCB-95 CryBaby wahs sound pretty nice in it as well.

I have a red fasel handy so ill give that a try. I see theres a 6us electro in there. I think the closest I have is a 4.7. Do you think that will make much of a difference?

[Paul Marossy]

I just used a 10uF cap in place of the 6uF one. A 6.8uF cap would get you closest to the original one used.

can i put in the board the inductors that are like resistors(two legs)?

Yes. Just make sure they are connected to the right points on the circuitboard.

I couldnt get the MPSA13, i get the KSP13, can i use it?

THanks

PD What is the right way to put cin the board the inductors that are like resistors?? In the layout there are two legs of the four-legs inductor that has no other conections.

[rasco22862]

sory, the original is mpsa18, i get the ksp13
