Thank you, but one is in the UK and the other in Israel.Originally posted by AbbeSauniere
There's www.arielfx.com and www.wah-wah.co.uk
Both make a Halo Inductor replica. arielfx is a new company, don't know anyone that's tried any of his stuff. wah-wah.co has been around for quite some time and Stuart Castledine has a good rep.

Hey, Dominick, I've been thinking about converting my plain ol' Crybaby to boutique specs, so I've been inductor shopping as well.
ArielFX looks pretty good - their halo replica is $28 and airmail shipping is only $4.30. Don't know how the halo sounds, but I'm gonna find out! I'm going to put it in a circuit where I can switch between the halo and a red Fasel.![]()

If you haven't tried it yet, the yellow Fasel is pretty nice, too. The big thing is to get the right gains on the transistors; I've been using NTE123A's, and they work VERY well. Also, polystyrene caps for the .01uFs (available at Mouser for next-to-nothing) clear up the sound quite a bit, as do (OK, here's the severe overkill) paper-in-oil caps for the .22uF caps next to the pot.

I don't think the shipping would be that bad. An inductor probably weighs no more than a few ounces. You could try www.area51.com I don't know if they offer their inductor for sale without the board. I've also heard good things about their work.
