Title: good source for replacement wah circuit board?
Post by: spookstrickland on September 20, 2013, 05:44:11 PM
I'm looking for a good unpopulated board than I can build to my own specs and throw in an old wah casing I have.

Also what is every ones consensus on a good sounding Inductor?

You should just get some perf board and build it out.

No need for a PCB. And re inductors...... no clue

I think you are right, that would be way cool.  I got some germanium trannys I'm going to try out too.

thanks

Drop in boards are cheap. Project board from radio shack is cheap.

As for inductors, do some research, see what sounds like you are looking for, order a few from SmallBearElec.com and try em out.

You can usually find sockets for boards or order them online. Socket a few of the interchangeable parts/values, and viola. A mod able wah that you don't need to fire up the soldering iron to tweak to your liking.
