Wahs using opamps in place of Transistors, but WITH Inductor

Hey everyone, I've been reading up on a lot of wahs and of course the tech of wahs paper for quite awhile. I've come across designs that are your basic traditional inductor based wah with transistors, or inductorless ones with opamps instead. But what about wahs that use opamps in place of q1 and q2 AND they still have an inductor?

I'm trying to figure out some simple mods for my dunlop 1SR rack wah. I can do stuff like the q, volume, mids, etc but I want to widen the sweep by adjusting the equivalent of Q1. Any ideas on how this translates over?

There's a LOTmore to the design, but here's the basic wah area of the schematic:

The Boss Touch Wah (TW-1) and Dynamic Filter (FT-2) both use an inductor within an op-amp-based wah circuit.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.
