Right now I have on breadboard a modded boomerang wah using the remote wah setup in technology of the wah since I only have a dunlop high gain volume pedal with a 500k pot. Using the led/ldr combo got me thinking... I also built a version of the tremulus lune lfo and I'm planning I'm planning on having a switch on the led between the wah pot and lfo and there will also be a switch for volume pedal such as in the original boomerang! That gives me wah/volume/tremolo/modulated wah all in one pedal. I suppose I could probably hack in an envelope follower as well and put it all on a rotary switch ;D I want to have the wah rocker as the rate control when in lfo mode, I can't quite picture how the switching will work for that in my head quite yet.
I know I'm not the first to do something like this but I haven't seen anything quite like this since I started frequenting the forum.

I still can't wrap my mind around the switching... I was thinking about having 2 LEDs controlling 2 separate ldrs and switching between which led the wah pot is controlling but in manual wah mode I would need to disable the lfo led or disconnect the ldr... I just can't picture it. Am I making this too complicated? How many poles would I need to accomplish this?
