Members andreas Posted May 13, 2008 Members Share Posted May 13, 2008 You can lift the 4.7uF cap, which will make the wah pedal raise/lower the volume instead of moving the wah frequency up/down. But it will not be a very good volume pedal - the volume doesn't go from fully off to fully on, but rather from "some volume" to "quite a bit of volume". Plus it does still change the sound a fair bit - it can't exactly be accused of being transparent... If you want a volume pedal, there are excellent ones around. The wah -> volume "mod" is really more of a trouble-shooting description (as in "my wah started acting like a volume pedal - what's wrong with it?") than a viable/usable mod. /Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mueller Posted May 13, 2008 Members Share Posted May 13, 2008 just as an fyi, when i did this, with the heel all the way down it's not completely silent in volume mode. you could get around it by adjusting the pot, but then in wah mode it will be too bass-y with the toe up. you should try it though, it's pretty easy. edit; andreas sort of beat me, but you get the idea.

Members goodhonk Posted May 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 13, 2008 thanks, it worked. i had an extra wah laying around so i thought it would be fun to try. is there anyway to make the volume cut out completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
