Getting into Wah's

[jighead81]

Wondering how I should start and what I should get.  I'd like to build one of the vero projects on the tagboard page, or even do the wah from BYOC because I like the idea of all the switching.  So many options for the circuit itself, but does anyone make a good wah kit with just the hardware?

The wah that madbean sells is really nice.   

Contact Joe Gagan, you can find him here or on facebook, and he can sell you just the hardware.

Good grief, didn't even realize madbean had a wah pcb, I thought they were all "autowah-ish" kinda stuff, lol.  So I'll get the weener wah pcb.  Now I just need to contact Joe for the hardware.  Thanks!

NP. I really like the Weener Wah, it sounds really great. Joe has a great inductor, too. The Tone Tank.

If you're looking for hardware (as in wah shell, gears etc.) you might be able to get a broken crybaby somewhere. A while ago, I placed an add for dead crybabies (  ) and got three of them for cheap, plus a Companion FuzzWah (that I revived and sold again). They all had a good inductor that I could re-use as well (though their pots were generally bad).

Looking on ebay, it appears wah enclosures run about 40$ new, and "for parts" broken wahs in a wild range from 10$ to 300$.

Though with all this, I suddenly really want to try casting my own. Hrm... curse you DIY bug!
