I have been doing lots of research into modding this pedal to sound like the zw-45. Like said before, all the resistors have been swapped for 1/4 watt 1% metal film. I really don't see the need, though I don't doubt the sound difference. The only two resistors that are the same are R13 and R17. They also changed out the caps for what looks like some wanna be orange drops. They may, be i don't know. I plan on changing the "sweep" cap to .022uF. And of course the fasel, which I hope will make a noticeable sound difference. I also plan to change the R1 resistor, which is a 1.5K to a 2K for some added midrange. The 95 I have already has the 390 in the R9 spot, which is less work for me. In the end I hope to have a bigger sounding wah with a little of the Zakk Wylde attitude. I will let you guys know how it turns out in a week or so.


by the way i got my wah for free so if I end up having a half ass zw-45 for only $35 its a win win
