What to build into wah shells other than wahs?

[Jopn]

I keep getting entry level vox and dunlop wahs in trades.  I don't really ever use a wah.  Any suggestions of some other effect to build in there?  I've got a decent volume pedal already.  I'm just fresh out of ideas and needing inspiration.

Cheers,

Phaser or vibe would be the obvious one. I've often thought about putting a delay in a wah shell and using the treadle for the time pot as a sort of warp/detune, not sure how that would work.

I think I would wire the feedback pot so you could go from a repeat or two to dub style oscillation with the pedal.

Tremolo with speed mapped to the treadle.

A fuzz with the gain mapped to the treadle.

Reverb with the depth/feedback mapped to the treadle.... Pretty much anything would be cool in there that you would want a control foot controlled.

I've got to say that the tremolo in a wah has always sounded interesting.

I built me a Rabb Fuzz in a wah shell. Which is a modified Kay Fuzztone (also in a wah shell) that one of U2's techs modified for the Edge. Think the intro to Elevation.

One of the things I'm trying to get my head around is the on/off.  Like for a fuzz, I wouldn't want to go full blast gain, then back it off (like you would with a wah).  I could reverse the pot connections, but there's also the issue of volume drop/bump that's going to happen with gain.  You'd almost want to dual gang it with (reversed) volume or something.

The more I type, the more I'm thinking trem.  Ohhhh, I think I picked up the parts for the Moosapotamus Skippy Trem.  I may have even populated a vero layout for it, now that I think of it.  I'd probably still reverse the speed pot since it's pretty ring-mod like at full speed, although I'll have to see how that actually works out since I'll only be working with a portion of the pot's rotation.

Ok, now the wheels are turning, thanks guys!
