Hi friends,
I have got a George Dennis GD30 Wah here that I'd like to be a little bit louder.   What would be the best way to do it? My first thought was to slap a simple booster at the end of the circuit but with the switching scheme I am lost where to place it, so that it would be off when the wah is off. Then I thought about raising the gain of IC1B by making R6 variable but I think that would mess up the wah-ing (due to the connection of the photo cell to the same opamp).
Is reducing R12 likely to help?

Thanks for your input!
Lars

Just to wrap this one up: Raising R6 does the trick!

Just remember to lower C5 value my the same analogy (e.g. doubling R6 needs halving C5) if you want to maintain the  cut-off frequency (at 8.6kHz) the same..  :icon_wink:
