Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Couldn’t really find a good description of this pedal other then it’s a Fuzz-Wah produced in the 70’s by Jen. Here’s my take based on the schematic. Just like many of the other fuzz wahs I’ve seen and working on layouts for this is essentially a classic inductor wah with a fuzzface type fuzz. There’s … Read more
Hadn’t done a wah in a while and thought I’d do project where you can build several old school wah circuits on the same board. Many of the early wahs back in the late 60s were based on the original Thomas Organ CryBaby, and as a result many of them follow the same topology with … Read more
The Colorsound Fuzz-Wah, or to be exact the Colorsound Wow-Fuzz! A new version of a funk-tastic old timer. The original 1970’s two transistor silicon distortion stage delivers the fuzz and the classic inductor based Colorsound wah circuit gives you the wow! Ah, the inductor based circuit you say. Been awhile since Colorsound did that, right? … Read more
Can’t find much info on a description of it, but what I do know is that it a superfuzz running into a wah. There’s literally 1 component value difference in the superfuzz, the rest is straight up identical to the standard superfuzz. Quick note about the wiring.

So instead of doing my usual description for each, I figured I’ll let … Read more
For those that are just never satisfied by whats out there in the land of wahs I took the standard Dunlop GBC-95 Crybaby and added some features based on common mod points. So how’s this supposed to work? Voice Pot: Changes the voice of the the wah by changing the sharpness and making it more … Read more
The original Dimebag wah, not the newer one, which will take a while to get done cause the board is completely different and based on the newer Q535 crybaby.
From the source: One of the most influential guitarists to come out of the Seattle rock scene, Jerry Cantrell’s epic riffs and searing tone have been the driving force behind Alice in Chains since the late 80’s. His melancholy wah-drenched melodies in modern classics like “Man in the Box” and “The Rooster” left an indelible … Read more
Figured while i was at it, since there are a few signature wahs that are the based on the same board with a few changes, why not just make post a few other layouts. First up the ZW-45 Wylde Wah. From the source: Modern Cry Baby Master Zakk Wylde and Dunlop have joined forces to … Read more
