I just used an old Dunlop Crybaby pedal and hooked it up to my level on my Boss DD3.  It is great but the range of the pot in the Dunlop is a little touchy.  It goes from little or no delay to alot in a small fraction of movement.  Anybody know a good value rotating pot I can use in the old Crybaby to control the expression of my Boss's delay?  Thanks!!!!

Well for starters, the dunlop pot'll be tapered funny to match the wah circuit. You'll want a linear (maybe...for a delay control...I think it's linear) pot, so what you'll want is the pot off a volume pedal. For value:

use the program here to hook up two trimpots, and adjust them till you find the range you like for the control. Then you just put real resistances to make it permanent.

Cheers,
