I don't recognize this one... Is it junk?



I have a red fasel and a soul inductor... And now this one too.  Not sure which one to put in my weener.

That's just a stock baby inductor isn't it?

GBC-95 stock inductor , like 30 years old.  That was a crappy wah so I'm not using the inductor unless I can identify it as a good one.

I don't know about the inductor, but those acrylic jacks are pretty neat.

Like most inductors it'll probably sound Ok if you spend a little time tuning the wah to suit...

Or if you are gonna throw it out, send it to me instead :)

What about the jacks? I've never seen clear ones before. Not sure what i'd use them for but cool nonetheless.

Yeah its the "Dunlop Toroidal Inductor" stock in some GCB-95s. I would be happy to buy it off you if you don't want it as I've been collecting inductors for a comparison test.

Would you mind taking some pictures of your wah that this is in? I mostly just want to know what the bottom plate looks like (as in what style of Jim Dunlop logo) and what Rev # is on the PCB.

this is around 91-93. clear jacks, small toroid ( later became n30 , etc). very early in the rev e board period.

probably a good sounding inductor. most likely 600 mh plus or minus 15%, 14 to 18 ohm.

this era dunlop wahs are actually quite good sounding, stock. hotpotz1 pot with glued on gear, probably.

update, i looked in my junk box, i found clear jacks as late as rev g , 94. dunlop seems to have dabbled in asian low cost board production at this point, with parts and board quality at a low that was later rectified.

I guess I'll pull it and try it in my weener.  Honestly I was never thrilled by that wah and I've pretty much butchered it now so if its worth using ill try it.

Thanks for the info
