I have a wah pedal that I am using as an octave up pedal.  The pot is used as a blend or panning pot to mix the signals.  Heel down it is a clean sound, toe down it is octave up.  The octave circuit is a green ringer with the null mods, preceded by a SHO and followed by a SHO.  The pedal sounds awesome with the SHO's turned up pretty high, a nice singing octave, however the problem is that when the SHO's are turned up real loud the octave signal bleeds through to the clean signal in heel down.  Anyone know how to block the octave signal from the clean signal?  I can't figure out how to post a schematic, but the pot in question comes after the Octave section, so if you can imagine on one outer lug, is the clean through, on the other outer lug is the octave out, and the center lug goes to the out jack.  Thanks

Maybe using a higher value pot? What value is your pot?

The pedal was a dunlop hi-gain volume pedal, the pot is I think a 100k hot potz.  I am not sure if a cap of some sort might work inserted on to out of the octave or out of the bypass maybe?  I just don't have time to experiment right now.

Intriguing, but I think this falls under: "D. Need more information"  Where would the buffer be placed? An output buffer on the clean side leading to the 'clean outer lug' of the pot?  Any tip on where to find a suitable buffer, I know AMZ has some posted, but a specific recommendation maybe?
