Title: wah inductor bobin help
Post by: copachino on March 19, 2015, 07:59:50 PM
well i have access to an inductance meter so i would like to bobin my own inductor, i have a cry baby board and maybe(if i find it) a broken black inductor, so the core will be useful, but maybe you can tell me about wire gauge and inductance to achive for a some good wah wah and not the standard CB also maybe i will try to use a Weener Wah II board instead of the CB

Small Bear sells an inductor kit, says to use #38 wire.

amazing now, id like to try something too, what if i use i pick up magnet, maybe an alnico rod, to bobin as core, dou you think it will sound something good, or its a bad idea, im triyng to recreat the self inductance of the vintage crap indcutors that sound so good

<ahhh i had read something of this on the site (geofex) but never the part of the bobin yourself, so a second bobbin will do the job i think this has to be a little one, i will buy 2 kits from small bear to try out
