Hello,

I am going to drop a new PCB into my crybaby as I am not happy with the factory one.  I did some Mods to it and was not happy with the result so I would rather start from scratch.  In looking at tonepad and GGG, I have had some questions regard its placement in the wah and some wire connectivity questions.  The replacements that I have seen do not have the jacks on the board itself also.  I guess that my questions could be answered by people who have done a similar pcb replacement.  Could anyone post some pictures of your modded Crybaby on here.  I want to see the placement of the board within the pedal.

thanks.
4 successful builds, 2 on the way.  Still trying to learn as much as I can.

In my experience, that board is great. Dunlop and Vox are essentially the same as far as the wah part of the circuit goes. I usually eliminate the input buffer and true bypass it. The inductor can be changed to a Fasel (Red or Yellow) or Halo (my fave), and the transistors can be changed to BC109'S.  The gain, mid , and vocal resistor can be changed. The .22uf caps can be changed for tropical fish caps and the sweep cap can be changed too. You can essentially rebuild the circuit with that board. An led indicator can be added too.
I would not bother to build another board when you have one already.
