Members Electric Catfish Posted February 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 Maybe tomorrow, depending on how well the built in mic on this thing does that kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Electric Catfish Posted February 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 Bump for daytime, just because I think this thing is pretty damn cool, and would like to learn more about them, besides the obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wilsoneffectsll Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 MMMMMMMMMMM...... Vintage!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wilsoneffectsll Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 Don't know a whole lot about the fuzz wah version but I do know the old sound city wah face with the red fasel inductor like you have is almost identical to the jen crybaby circuit as far as components go. I can't really tell since the pics are blurry but it looks like some good sized polystyrene caps are on your board. Probably a later version of the pedal possibly. Very nice though indeed!!!!

Was the "Wah Face" just a straight up Sound City branded wah? Do you know when they quit making these, to give me a vague idea? Mid to late-70's, I'm guessing? I was surprised at how little information I found on these online. The ones I ran across on ebay and elsewhere were considerably more expensive than this one was, but I don't know how much differences in vintage/components/etc. play into that.

Members wilsoneffectsll Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 Looks like the wah side should have BC170B transistors and there should be another one in the distortion side of the circuit. It looks like a pretty simple fuzz circuit. The wah circuit looks pretty typical except for the 3900pf capacitors in place of where there would originally be .01uf capacitors, other wise it's a pretty basic wah circuit. The schematic I have on this is from 1972 so it may be a safe guess to say it's early 70's. Some of the models were also made by Jen and I would suspect that is why some are more expensive than others. I have an old Jen Super Crybaby that is in the box with original paper work that dates to around 1980. It has a power jack ect... so I do know Jen was making the fasel wahs up until then.

Members RockDaJoJo Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Theres one on ebay right now for almost $900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RockDaJoJo Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Its a buy it now, so it could be outrageously priced and no one will buy it. take a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Electric Catfish Posted February 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Apparently that one does have the tropical fish caps, and the box, paperwork, etc. It still way too much, imo, but then again, I don't really know much about them...hence this thread. That one is a collector's piece, for sure, but $900 for a wah sounds insane, to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
