Hi buddy,Yep.....Look at the second photo in the earlier posting on here of my buddie's wah....That's a Whipple inductor...The Arteffect "Halo" is pricey but nice also.

Re: Thomas Organ Wah Score!

Thanks guys....hehe I am connected to other sources...I am just a lazy bum that needs to check out our own suppliers...
But thanks a bunch!
200k is not very common anymore.

Re: Thomas Organ Wah Score!

Christian.....I Looked at the Wilson wah site....It's funny cause I have a bunch of those selectable(clickable variable pots) but I've never used them....Here's the thing....Guitar players are pretty simple minded....Once I dial the wah in to my own liking,I pretty much just only use that voicing....So why put 12 different cap values on the wah? LOL...

I'll experiment with different cap values and resistance values...From there,I'll usually just solder the cap(s) and resistor values I came up with...The really tweaky guys like the adjustment and so then I'll either do an external mounted variable pot or I'll mount trimmer pots on the board....

Once I find that "sweet spot" sound,I find I always just come back to that setting on my wah....LOL...The Fulltone Deluxe wah also has the variable cap value pot and it just lowers or increases the cap values...That wah also has the 3 settings that I Liked on Lew's wah when he let me borrow it..

Re: Thomas Organ Wah Score!

Hehe yeah indeed!!
I've tried a few 250k, but it was never as sweet as the old 200k one.

Kevin is really big on the tweakable wahs, so is Geoffrey Teese and they both sell a lot of them but I hate 'em myself...

I have no outside controls on my wah at all.

I actually had Kevin just built me a drop in board for a Vox shell I had. It has 2 trim pots for fine tuning but no outside controls. Also worth mentioning...i've never even adjusted the trimmers from the wah Kevin had it set up when I got it!

Here is a quick shot of it...all except the buffer board which is mounded up above the switch.

It's a REALLY great sounding wah.



Here is a UTOOB comparison between a Wilson Signature and Kevins personal Clyde Signature wah.

Re: Thomas Organ Wah Score!

Very cool John....I must have overpaid for mine...$50.00 cash from CL.

Mine sounds great....I only use it a couple of times a night (I am no Kirk Hammett)..but is very vocal and works well clean or dirty.

I still wonder about different inductors....I should probably leave well enough alone.

Your wah sounds really good Joe! I'm going to pretty much set mine up just like your's....If I come up with anything better,I'll be sure to pass that info on to you buddy.

Nice clean looking wah on the inside Christian...Cool to have adjustments on the pcb for "gain"...."volume".....and "Q" I prefer to keep everything on the insides of my wahs these days...External mounted pots can break and they move on adjustment...Your wah looks to have trimmers for gain and Q....Sometimes I install a midrange trimmer,but I've found I always go back to the midrange set resistance I like..Looks like the stock trannies(MPSA18) that Vox/Modern Dunlops use?
