Nice ones guero! Your builds always look so professional and tidy.
I happen to have an Onerr aswell, I got it in trade of a JH-1 Wah I modified for someone. It's the Fat Boy II and does have an inductor. It is a design using a LM393M, a few (opamps?)marked KF353, 2 3904 transistors, a C1815 and a bunch of K30A's which are OTA's if I recall correctly.
The inductor is the same sort of torrodial shape as the reissue red fasel I have, the casing seems to be filled with epoxy-resin.

The guy who gave it to me said it had optical switching, but the strange thing is I can't find any parts that would be able to do that, neither does it have a footswitch. ???
the only thing attached to the threadle is a wire tthe pcb's ground.
I haven't tried it out jet so no idea if it sounds thin aswell.

I never saw a new Onner inside . They are not so popular here in Brazil. We have a lots of Morley , but the winner still the Dunlop Cry Baby.

Some guts of that fat Boy II will be nice :)

I think that you should keep the JH-1 :)

hehe, well what I meant was that I got the Onner (and a normal crybaby) for free from this guy who wanted his JH-1 modded.
I wouldn't dare to ask him for anything more, cause he also gave me a 1971 Fane branded London City which is a copy of the marshall plexi superlead made in Holland, For free!!, cause he really thought I should have it.

I will make photo's along with the parts-values this evening and post it on the general forum.

I just did this one about a week ago. A Colorsound Wah rebuild!!! I found a vintage shell, jacks, pot, and treadle. Someone pulled the guts out and bottom plate long ago and made it into a volume pedal.

I used the WOW Wah layout. This thing sounds lovely it is the best sounding wah I've played/made!!!


The layout took some debugging/lots of thinking and cross referencing with original wahs.  ::)
60% of the time it works everytime...

Wow, that looks really cool. great work.  :icon_cool:

Beautiful.   Are you using ultraviolet leds for the light plate? On paper it seems like they would be best for fluorescing the light plate, but in practice I have found that ultra bright blue leds work better.

Tks! :)
Sometimes the ultra brite seems to be the best choice. I'm always making a light test..here in Brazil the acrylic quality is the worst you can imagine.
