Title: Questions: Doug Hammond's wah mods and others
Post by: David on March 08, 2004, 03:50:55 PM
Doug (or anyone else who's done his mod):

Your wah schematic looks pretty good.  I think it'll be going onto the ol' breadboard after I get a few other projects out of the way.  I'd like to know the following:

Did you happen to try the mods in R.G.'s article that convert a Cry Baby-type wah to a Maestro Boomer 2 - type wah/volume?  Do you think those mods would work on your circuit?  Has anyone else implemented this successfully?

Also, there have been many posts about converting a twin-T filter to a wah or an auto-wah.  One thing I haven't seen is a module to override the pedal and put a STANDARD wah into auto-wah land.  Any ideas how this might be done?

The wah mods I did came directly from R.G.'s wah article. It was just my personal tweak that I happened to like.

I tried Doug's mods and they are cool.

I also referenced R.G.'s excellent article and tried a number of other things.

hmmm. I need to try that wah again, I can't remember that it sounds like now.

Doug / Aron:

Thanks for the wah feedback!  

Has anybody tried the volume pedal conversion thing?  I'm looking to build a wah/volume pedal so I can always keep it in the signal chain.  Being space-conscious, I'd also like to see if I could "hot-rod" it by also providing an auto-wah (I keep wanting to call this an envelope filter) capability for that "Come and Get Your Love" vibe.  Don't know how it would go over in church, but if I ever need it, I'll have it.
