GRRRRR.. Talk about messing with my head... Apparently my Cantrell WAH was affected the other day with the car incident.... I was playing today. New cables to avoid the cut out.. When using the wah.. works great .....for awhile.. kicks on, works like it should for awhile... Then after awhile of working fine it cuts out. Sound and function just fades except a tiny bleed through of sound coming thru the amp. I step on the pedal to turn it off.. regular sound comes thru.. kick pedal back on, works fine for awhile again.. thoughts?? I had a cable cutting out, but replaced that.. its def the pedal now

Re: Well crap... Pedal problem
Power supply is good. I pulled the pedal off the board today, but no time to crack it open. I do notice that the pedal used to "stand up" as it hasnt been used much.. now, it drops to the deck. The switch still clicks with authority, so guessing the issue may be in the pot. yesterday started my 3 x12s for work, and wifey has Mon off, so prolly wont get to dive into it til Tues. So keep ideas comingBelieve me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

Maybe apply contact cleaner to your switch and pot and plugs.sigpic

Re: Well crap... Pedal problem
My guess would be a cap or resistor in the circuit itself. This is similar to a problem I had.
Sorry.
BillWhen you've had budget guitars for a number of years, you may find that your old instrument is holding you back. A quality guitar can inspire you to write great songs, improve your understanding of the Gdim chord while in the Lydian Mode, cure the heartbreak of cystic acne--and help you find true love in the process.

Re: Well crap... Pedal problem
Yeah, Im guessing must be that.. everything else looks to be ok by visual exam.. Except, as prev mentioned, the pedal easily drops, whereas since it has rarely been used, it normally used to sit high unless pressed down.. I think the most puzzling thing for me is that it plays for awhile before it acts up. Again, could be that its toast but takes some heat and friction to finish it. I guess Ill try to replace the pot.. if that doesnt do it, new pedal.. I must say, this does definately sell me on the road worthiness of this pedal..Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.
