Quality Pictures of the "cheap" wah (Lyon by Washburn) including guts

[tehfunk]

Well, I bought the wah on ebay so I could gut it to build my WH10 YESS!! anyway, thought I'd give some better quality pictures than what is already out there (almost nothing).








The last picture I was trying to show that the pot is manufactured by "DI YA", the same company as fulltone, but the back says A100k, which is not what the fulltone says, and I assume its logarithmic, but it sound pretty good. There is one funny thing about the wah, because there is no grease on the gears it started squeaking only a few minutes after I started using it, nothing wrong with electronics, just the gear thing makes noise. BTW, can someone tell me the name of the "grease" that you apply to wah gears because I am gonna need some for my WH10. Enjoy the pictures!

Also, I had a question do you think it'd be possible to remove the rubber tread, sand down the top and etch a logo on there and then cut the dunlop rubber tread and put it back on there? Also, will the standard paint, it's just like the crybaby and the vox, withstand the etching process? Thanks!

You need white lithium grease for the gear.

and LOL @ the "crybaby.pcb" on the top-left corner.

okay, thanks. Would this work?

Or is there some specific requirement.

This is the same one I've got for my Boomerang wah build. scored it for $9.95, brand new! I gutted mine instantly, neve reven plugged it in with the original circuit.

That might work... my only concern would be that the pressurized spray can might squirt grease everywhere. I got a tube of it at my local Pep Boys (auto parts chain) so I would start looking there if you have an auto parts store near you.

How does it sound with those carvin pickups?
Vaseline would work.

all lithium greese is esentially the same you can get it anywhere.

pretty nice, the carvin has that really rich sound, and i love putting it in single coil for wahs. also I already have the vox essentially same thing, as you can now see from the parts, just different pot and switch, and no buffer, but I am gonna be modding that the traditional way.. essentially, into a clyde been planning it for a while. And, I wanted the same traditional enclosure so I got this one hoping it'd be the same dunlop thing and it was so I was happy!

Yeah, I wasn't going to buy that one, I was just asking to see if it's the same thing becaues I didn't know it was a common product at first.

Yeah, I got it from your thread I believe, thanks again! how much was shipping for you?

still looking for an answer to this.

I also like how there's a jumper where it's says "1 Ohm"

I actually think it says 10MM, but that'd be funny if it was 1 OHM.

I've seen that wah pedal in a Target store - I think it was $69.
