I've got a Dunlop GC95B wah pedal that I am cannabalizing to make into a Vox 847. I have made and populated the board by using the layout from GGG.

My question is this: What would be a good inductor to use for this wah? It appears that the layout calls for a wah that has 4 leads, but all the fasels I see only have two. Will they still work? Also looked into the repro Halo inductors, can you buy those here in the U.S.?

Thanks for the help!

  I put a Yellow Fasel in my 847...big improvement...they're all a bit different I suppose.
  On the GGG layout, I see 4 holes / two connections, the schematic shows 2 connections...the other two holes must be for mounting purposes, unless I've missed something.
  GGG's projects are 'Generally' [no pun] well thought out, complete and include feedback info if applicable, read everything on the file [all links like BOM etc.] on your project and...all about it is almost certainly all there if it's relevant.

Most true diehard wah fans will say that the halo is the best. The layout is setup for any kind of inductor to be put in it. All of these V847 type wah inductors have only two active pins. The current manufacture ones have four pins, but only two are active. The other two are just dummies.

Thanks for the replies!

I went ahead and ordered a yellow Fasel from Aaron. I looks like I'll have to wait on the ArielFX inductor b/c of the stuff going on in Israel.

If you can find a Fulltone inductor, just buy it!

The best repro inductor ever, IMHO.

I think Banzai has a few left but they are quite expensive,
although i believe they are worth every penny.

i still like area51s, best.

or orions galactic inductor...

i really hate this subject.

too touchy.

on the other hand, i dont think that Jack In The Box is as good as they used to be. i liked their old fry recipe better.
no longer the battle of midway...(i left that band)...

i hate signatures with gear lists/crap for sale....

i am a wah pervert...ask away...
