how possible is this?

[O'malley's Alley]

I have a Budda bud-wah that I love, but I would like to have it a little more versitile.  The budda's pcb is quite small, so would it be possible to build in a whole different wah circuit, like a colorsound or a gcb-95 or something along those lines, and have a switch on the side where you can switch between them.  anyone tried this, and how did they go about doing this?  Thanks!

yeah it can be done quite easily
you kwo waht woudl be easier.  

having a wha that has 12 different psositons..

look at my wah add.

how exactly would I do it?  Where would I place the switch to switch between them?  and how would I go about using the 1 pot for 2 different circuits?  Thanks!

give me a moment annd i will draw up a diagram for it.  drop me an email here so i can send it toyou.

which schematic is that?  I think I pretty much understand it, but I would have a better idea of it if I saw the original schematic which you drew that diagram off of.  One of the problems though is that I dont have a schematic for the budda.  Is there anyway to do this with out a schematic?

[Ansil]

yes its quite simple.. and no you dont' need the scheamtic i took it from as that is the schematic..  

wah sotmp switch input comes from the input jack to the switch this is the input of the circuit. thus we will need to switch this. from going into the input of the budda wah.  therefore we use a dpdt switch or one half of a 4pdt switch here to switch both the inputs and the outputs.  which is labled wah stompswitch out.

so you are using half of a 4pdt switch to move th einputs and outputs of each wah circuit to corespond to your input and outputs on the actual pedal.


now  the pot in the budda will controll the sweep for both right?? or are you going to install another pot and gear.??

if you are using it to controll both then you have to move two wires on the pot as the ground is constant.  to find the ground either use a multimeter and clip one side of the leads to ground and touch the wah pots leads till you find continuity. or trace it back to ground manually.  now the other 2 wires coming off the pot are your control wires for the wah.  you need a dpdt siwthc or half of the 4pdt switch to move those two wires in between the circuit.  ie you need the pot to change from the budda to your other wah.  by the way it is the bad horsie.  wah.



and again. if you have anyquestions.  drop me an email

Thanks dude!  I cant emphasize enough how helpfull that was!  Thats why I love this forum.
