Red Fasel, Yellow Fasel or Halo Replica?

[rocker-D82]

Anyone can explain me the difference between this 3 type of wah inductor?

  Red is a touch clearer than Yellow IIUC, and Halo isn't available from this site.
  I put in a Yellow Fasel and report it's sound in my modded 847 is great.

search the forum for alot of info about inductors...

I like a Halo... www.arielfx.com has the best IMHO. 

The Banzai Halo is VERY VERY thin and crappy.  It doesn't sound like a halo should IMHO.  It is only 13ohms and is very bright and thin...

I have heard the Yellow fasel Aron sells is fantastic..

I tried one of them and i thought there was something wrong with it, sounding so significantly thinner than my fulltone.
Then i found that it sounded better with a larger value in the "mid" resistor, which added some fatness.

I finally got to keep it and i have it on my wah, switchable through a DPDT.
I can use it because i have a variable mid control in my wah.

The other side of the switch still has the fulltone on, which is the best IMHO.


i wouldn't quite recommend the banzai inductor. It's (along with other things about them) too much promise but less truth...

I've tried all three and IMHO ArielFX Halo is hands down the winner!

More details here and here (in spanish, sorry!  )

So, between Red and Yellow FASEL, who is closer to an HALO?
I have a broken Crybaby and I want to make a McCoy. I see a picture of a McCoy Replica with a Red FASEL...

NEITHER, fasels don't sound like halo inductors. If you really want to approach the sound of a McCoy you'll have to sport the extra dough
to buy a halo inductor and not a fasel, otherwise you won't even come close to that tone.
