there is no 33k , or even 100k parallel the inductor in any italia. in our 2013 development, we found we loved it most with no R there at all.

thanks. i don't think i included 33k in the kit, the loudest in the kit for the pre-v2 italia is 47k . 33k is easy to find tho. i have gradually made the italia more tuneable in the 7 years it has been around. if you email me at joegagan@gmail, and send photos of the guts, i can offer solutions...

well said! i DO have a feeling that guys have gotten good at not switching them off by accident when switching medium.

thread title says the step switch wahs aren't in this.

there was a standard in wah pedals as far back as my first memory, 1975 ( playing ' shaft' in front of 3000 people at my highschool, at an event on a borrowed crybaby - never even got to rehearse with it ahead of time). the standard was: the switch would need body weight and a hard action to...

i am gonna try one of the those 1967 clyde things. any good?

@Yendog, please send the pedal back for full refund including all shipping. I will send prepaid printable label via reverb. You and I are not compatible. Happens sometimes. There will be no further product support for your wah. Your posts here contain lies and false analysis of my product...

Yes. It's explained in an article I wrote: https://stinkfoot.se/archives/2514

you'll get better at soldering. keep doing it. the vocal mod R is the resistor parallel the inductor. normally 33k. study stinkfoot and other wah mod sites.

I never tried a wh10 but if I did it would be a Wilson. The amazing thing about wah pots is they all sound different. Even when comparing 100K to 100K, even when the tapers look near identical on paper after measuring carefully. I did a 6 pot shootout years back , exact same wah, same amp...

I haven't tried the Wilson pots, Kevin is a good friend and has great quality. The hotpotz you mention is a fast ramp pot, the opposite of a more spread out taper such as audio or icar . Some people believe the vintage icar was simply audio , I agree in a general sense, all mfgrs have their own...

Could I have made that into a pretty excel spreadsheet or easy to digest ramp graphic? Yes. I like to leave it semi-cryptic, it weeds out the freeloaders.

Thank you @Albion9 . Appreciate it. @Moderato , great points, your findings are similar to mine. In 12 years of selling wah pots, I've heard many stories and seen many instances of resistance going high over time. The current square hotpotz in Dunlop wahs is plastic element , made by CTS...
