Been a while since I've posted. Been sick and haven't been playing the pedal game for a while blah blah blah. Sorry to anyone who's missed me  :P

A year or two ago, I purchased a Lyon (by Washburn) optical Wah. Sounds great, built well etc, but since I already have a decent enough sounding wah and have no real need for this one, I've been considering adding a fuzz circuit to it. Any suggestions as to the best* fuzz circuit to add? Would it be best to add it to the input or to the output of the wah, as in, would I run into any impedence/buffer issues?


*yes, I realise it's completely open to personal taste

i'd put in something that can deliver a load of screaming treble, like a 2 transistor Vox Tone Bender...before the wah

always think outside the box

^^ ditto what LT said.

i put the FY2 circ ahead of a crybaby inductor wah for the same reason, i thought a screamy 60s fuzz would be fun into a wah. i increased the sweep cap to .02 for deep bass and optimized the FY2 to feed the wah.

you can hear the result in a few vids:
(here are some notes and a very rough schem. i based my FY2 on LT's schem as you can see.

Thanks guys! That will be easy enough. If/when I finally get around to doing it (still running low on energy most of the time), I'll let you know the results.
