Hi, i'm just returning to building effects after many years absence.
I built a few boosters and pre-amps in my teens, but the one thing i really wanted was a wah, the only guy i knew who had built one had used an old volume pedal or something as the case. I remeber maplin used to sell a box for wah/volume pedals, but they dont stock it anymore (iirc it was a flimsy plastic thing anyway) and i ended up buying a crybaby (which has since been stolen). Are there any places which sell decent sturdy enclosures for wah pedals nowadays? (pref in the UK) or is the best option still buying a commercial one?
EBAY!
There are plenty of wah pedals that break easily. I've seen lots of 3 broken crybabies go for $10 plus shipping. Just gut them and use the case.
