Well, maybe not very vintage, but whatever. I got a Colorsound wah (sweeeet sound) that had only battery option. I drilled an added jack for external 9v supply. With some power supplies I get an annoying "wweeeeeeeee" in a certain pedal position.
I realized the pedal has no power filtering (as it was only intended for batteries), so I thought I could add a little board with a filter.
Does that make sense?
I think a 100u electrolytic cap and maybe a polarity protection diode. Enough? Or should I add something extra?
Thanks guys!

Try a 100u and 100n across the power supply. You are on the right track. Nice pedal dude.
I will!,
Whats the 100n for?
Thanks!

Polyfilm capacitors are better at filtering high frequencies than electrolytic capacitors. It's best to use a mix of capacitor types for filtering in some cases.
Also put a small resistor in series before the caps, 100r is usual for low current demand circuits.

You rule dudes, thanks!! Now I know what to do.... and also why and how it works.

Should add, take power for your LED from before the 100r resistor as a power hungry LED could cause a drop of a couple volts across the resisitor and you don't want that.

No led for this one, but good to know!
