Melanhead,

You can rip, good show , good singing voice too !  Your  bass player has a fair amount of mojo himself, you sound great together.
All you gotta do is lose the Leafs shirt  ;D

  Getting in on this also, I changed, actually just paralleled a 103 to the 103 there, so now it's around .02uf. Fairly radical change in tone.
  I'll let you know how that goes, also I changed to a lower Gain Q1, something like 70hfe, that seemed to take the HB induced clipping with loud notes out of it...er... that's my story for now..?
  Sure changes things, I also also moved the pot 2 notches toward toe down.
  I decided to just set it on the bench, run it through an amp and tweek it here and there as opposed to one tweek at a time and try it out a bunch. I kind of get to know what this wah does, and what I do and don't like about it, and can spot mods you'll probably like right there....

yeah, that wah solo sounds great!! Playing and the wah tone!!! nice addition of EVH in the solo, sounds great my friend,... Your singing sounds like that guy that sings that song "Love Shack",  B-52's or something,... ;D

I am still modding my wah, hopefully i could get it to sound good, right now, it sucks,....(it is a Clyde McCoy clone),  But with a little help from my friends(forum) i think i will be fine.... :D

What amp did you use?  Was all the gain from the tubescreamer, or did you have some amp gain too.  ???

thanks ... Most of the gain was from the Tubescreamer/Mini-Boost combination. The amp is a Mesa 22 caliber set with just a bit of dirt, cleans up well with single coils...

i see two electrolytic caps in there, could it be even nicer sounding if i swapped them out too in favor for some metal film caps?

Probably not as they're not in the signal path and both over 1uF ... and also, there are many opinions on weather replacing electros with metal film makes any difference... I usually replace 'em if possible ;)
