I've had this wah for a long time now & so far thought that the internal 'gain adjust' trimpot was to get the volume of the wah at unity when active. I had it turned to 12o'clock, thinking that it did just that, well it whats I perceived the change in sound as.
Today I wanted to reset the wah to its factory state by having all trimmers inside back to default position. I did that, as well as, tried the trimmers at their extremes. Now here's when I noticed something I hadn't before with the 'gain adjust' trimpot.
It seems to adjust the midrange frequency of the wah and not so much as the volume of the wah effect. Clockwise turn raises it & anticlockwise lowers it, this freq change is applied to both the yellow & red inductors, so some settings seem to work best for one particular fasel. Also it does read 'range gain adjust' on the pcb. The manual thats comes with it is hardly containing info regarding the internal trimpots. So for those that have been wondering about the gain adjust trimpot then that's what I found, thought I'd share it.
I wish these controls were on the outside of the wah, i can see why they aren't for accidentally changing them all the time. Still, its quite a versatile wah feature wise.
