I preserved the fuzz and the switching but i noticed a delay when i turn it on.split second silence before the wah engage.

[joegagan]

[fretzburner]

Fixed it already using ordinary 50k pot,still waiting my long shaft order.This is the pcb  picture.

Used the single pot version into the wah portion of this wf10 and working fine now but will change the pot as my order arrives.

Whipple Wah in an old Frontline Volume pedal. Sort of thrown together at the moment to see if I like it or needed to mod it, so I'll probably do a proper job at a later date. Standard 100k pot 'cos of the non-Crybaby setup. I really like the 'vocal' mod as it allows me to tone it down a bit when I'm not using a distortion after it

The throw on this thing is massive !! I used it as a volume pedal for years so I was used to the feel of it, but as a Wah it's so much different to a Crybaby type set up.

Sounds lurrrrvley.

I am posting this photo to this thread in hope someone that has posted on here will see it and be able to help I am looking to find 2 .22 caps like the smaller .01 caps on here. I wan to get rid of the big grey box caps and make it period correct if anyone knows where I can get them please let me know! Thanks

[Liquitone]

I have looked at a lot of the earlier Italian wah boards ( to try and put a date on a late '60 early '70 Jen CryBaby I had in the workshop, and it looks like they used anything they had at hand in these,
so I think these are in fact period correct. But I can see why you would want to put .22's similar to the .01's in here.

[disabled_shredder]

I guess if I can't get the caps I will put a 9v adapter board on build it true bypass ic buffer out w off switch range control and probably change out the elecs but I will save them so I can undo almost all if I choose to sell it down the road.

[joegagan]

the thomas caps are most likely polyester film and foil. some of the wah guys i respect tell me they really do make a difference in the tone. i haven't done any real testing myself so i can't say. but they sure look cool.

[ch1naski]

There is a company that puts out "aged" poly caps, they're somewhat similar in shape, axial, and yellow.

@disabled_shredder
Here's a link that might help. I didn't see any .22 caps like this but they maybe able to help you if you ask.

I do have some .22 caps but they are just a little to big to fit but the look identical to the one's in the Thomas organ wah's.
