Cool! I found a Wah in my closet!

So, we are buying and moving into a new house at the beginning of the month, and I get to do the whole pack everything up job. I get to the bottom of my closet and find a box that has been there unopened since we moved here, 4 years ago. It was full of speaker and guitar cable with no ends on them, old knobs, tubes, a few packs of strings, and all the little things you seem to need, but never have. As I get to digging in the box I hit something hard and metal. What do you know? It's a Dunlop 535Q wah.

Now, I don't remember ever buying, trading, or using a 535Q. I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out where it came from, and it's hurting my brain.

Naturally, being in the bottom of a box like this, I assume that it's no good. I plugged it in anyways just to test it, and I'll be damned if it doesn't work perfectly. What a cool little wah! You can adjust this wah to sound damn near any way you want it. I like it!

Now, if I can only figure out where in the hell it came from.... :scratchch

Anyways, new/old stuff you didn't even know you had rocks!

I ran into almost the same situation last week. I was rearranging my music room and in the closet I found a gig bag with an epi lo junior in it. No recollection of it at all but I was amazed by how well it plays. Definitely one in a million as far as the quality of these guitars go. Now I gotta get a new pickup for it.

I know the feeling. The other day I was delighted to find two much needed British made Celestion Vintage 30's I totally forgot I owned.
Now if I could only find my Boost DLA that disappeared w/o a trace a couple years ago. One can only hope to come out even in the end , I suppose.

For the whole circut to be SMC, I'm very suprised to see a red fasel inductor inside. I love this freakin' wah!

I have a couple of pieces of gear that fall into that "I have no idea where this came from" category. I have lost a few that I'm sure some else has said the same about.

535Q is should just be the standard Wah, IMO.

I wish I would find cool stuff like that in my house. Maybe I need a different house.
