Hey dudes, been reading about DG plugging his wah in backwards to achieve those crazy, beautiful sounds on Echoes. I don't have my wah here (it's in the rehearsal space, and when I would try this during rehearsal, my band mates would probably shoot me...) to experiment, but I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to add a switch for this to an upcoming Weener build. I know it can be done with a 3PDT, any opinions?

I have it built into one of my wahs. I dont use it all that much TBH but it is very cool sounding. I made mine switch the sweep pot of the wah into a volume divider. It ended up being like a 8pDt switch or something crazy like that but it works and sounds cool!

Thanks guys, I'll check it out... But I do have a feeling that switch is gonna be on my Weener anyway, just because I can!
