I had no problem breadboarding this in a few minutes and it worked just fine: http://www.beavisaudio.com/projects/colorsoundwah/index.htm

forgot the jumper  8)

got it working now but its a little thin... nowhere near as throaty as the others ive heard. anyone messed with the values to thicken the sound?

thanks for all the help! :)

Look for any other mistakes/omissions/wrong values, I also breadboarded it from the Dano schem and was quite happy with the sound.
Good luck

Okay its cool but the lights would be kind of annoying for me after a while.

Also, a pet peeve of mine...I would like to hear effects samples actually used in playing a phrase, lead, scale...something useful.   I can't really get the usefulness or benefit without hearing it actually utilized and not just noodling around.

I have a Morley Wah 1996, but I had to modify the heck out of it to make it useful.

I wasn't trying to sell you one  :icon_lol:

But seriously, i get what you're saying, i just haven't had the time to do a decent demo. Although i can't believe what you heard isn't useful at all.

gave it a go, still a very big drop in volume. might try a 200k pot to improve the sweep but the volume is killing me! GARHSHARGH!

Sorry, didn't mean to imply it wasn't useful.   Just that I hear/see a lot of demos of sounds but without actually playing around with one, I would have a hard time figuring how I could use it.  Yeah, I have some ideas but without actually getting my hands on one I have a hard time.  Example, I have a Digitech 2101 multieffects unit.   It has an autowah that I hadn't even tried out for 5 years.   One day I played around with it and lo and behold found a really cool use for it over my wah pedal.
