Hi all!

A customer of mine wants me to modify his GCB95 crybaby wah to a McCoy wah.

Anyone here has done this before and knows what to replace etc ?

Thanks

The 3 mods I did to mine many years ago were to make it true bypass and to replace the inductor's parallel resistor with a 100k trimpot, and get an "ICAR" taper pot. You will also find suggestions to replace the inductor. Honestly, I didn't thing the pot change was worth it, and between that and the inductor, you can pretty quickly put more money in parts than the wah is worth.
