Title: Weener wah vs modded crybaby?
Post by: zilla on February 08, 2014, 09:25:15 PM
Guys,

I have a gcb95 that I have modded according to most of the mods on the stinkfoot.se web site (a pot, vocal mod, switchable mid freq. gain boost)

What will the Weener wah give me that I don't have with my modded crybaby?

Thanks

Tim

It'll give you a platform to play around with some component values, different inductors etc to get to the sound you really like. If you want to fine-tune your wah sound, get two boards and put sockets on one of them. If you hit the sweet spot, solder those values to the second board. Thinking of it, I might get this going myself, sounds like a nice idea...... Oh, don't forget to mess around with different pot tapers!

If you've done the "stinkfoot mods" (which have been going around longer than Stinkfoot has existed ) then you've for the most part tricked out your wah as much as you can on that PCB. You can rig up a sweep cap rotary, or even an inductor cap rotary and come close, add a trimmer to some of the resistors you've replaced instead - But the Weener is as mentioned a complete modifiable platform. It includes a boost (that can be set at unity)as well that will help you get past fuzzes and take things up a notch. My weener is still in a state of flux. I need to quit messing with it and just put the darn thing into my shell.
