Post by: jjucius on April 29, 2004, 07:15:49 PM

Hi.  If your wah isn't true bypass (I suppose that's 99%),  using the output of the switch will leave your buffer in place regardless of whether the wah is used or not.  That *might* be a good or a bad idea.  If you want to preserve the "feel" of pedals further up the line (when the wah is off) I'd switch the buffer in and out with the wah, which means connecting between the buffer between the pot and the switch.

I've wired mine both ways but now prefer to switch the buffer too.

have fun
