I completed a Weener Wah build and it looks beautiful. Seriously, one of the most attractive-looking PCB's I've ever worked with. 
With a little pin-bending I was able to get the inductor out of my Crybaby (crappy I know but I figured just to start) to fit in the innermost pads.
By marking the inductor with a sharpie, I tried to line up the pads using the only reference point that exists on both boards, the "L1" designator. However, they didn't quite line up in a meaningful way. I know that only 2 of the pads are there for electrical contact and the other two are just for mounting, I guess.
So when I plugged everything in, the pedal acts like a slightly scratchy volume pedal. I thought maybe I wired up the sweep pot wrong, but according to the pinout of the Hot Potz here I'm correct.
Does anyone know how to correctly orient the inductor on the board? FYI mine is a stock Crybaby inductor, but you can see a bottom view here: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/shwanghourt/DSCF1226.jpg
I could have a bad inductor, or I could just have it hooked up wrong. Any ideas? Thanks!
FYI here's a pic of the build just before I put in the transistors (thus the empty sockets)
You can see the red sharpie mark on the top of the inductor, that's pointing directly at "L1" on this pcb
