Any body want to care to suggest any killer wha builds that will fit in a crybaby case?  my Thomas Organ CryBaby is just too damn noisy in front of the BSIABII.  I have a Dunlop Crybaby that is dead to work with.  Thanks . . .

Gah! I still have to finish putting together my WH-10. There's a nice project file for it that someone linked to on the forum--try giving it a search if you're interested (or if you're a Frusciante fan). There's a board layout that is meant to fit in a CB enclosure. There's an extra pot and toggle switch, plus a dry output jack that you'll have to drill for (or omit).

It's for the single gang wah pot version, not the dual. I don't really know the diff between the two sound-wise.

Actually, the GCB-95 is a pretty quiet wah to use with high gain distortion pedals. In fact, it's quieter than any of my other wah pedals (vintage Vox, vintage Maestro Boomerangs). The colorsound inductor wah as I built it is fairly quiet, though - I  used a 2N5089 for Q1 and a 2N3904 for Q2.

hmm, well the dead crybaby is a GCB-95, so maybe I'll just repair it and see what I think.

If you get it working, consider doing some mods to it if it's not quite what you want. I have one set of mods that I came up with that I think sounds pretty good on the GCB-95 - http://www.diyguitarist.com/DIYStompboxes/WahMod.htm
