Dunlop wha problems

[fenderiarhs]

.....i am not a big wha fan and i am not using a wha very often.....My wha is a dunlop cgb95 which i have modified for true bypass.....My problem is that when i use it there's a volume drop in my guitar sound and from what i've heard this is quite common with wha pedals.......Is there any solution/mod that could cure the problem??????

There's 2 ways to fix the problem....1 is to replace the 68k input resistor with a lower value (56k) usually does it....Or...Change the gain set resistor that is now probably a 470 ohm (The one by transistor Q1) down to a 330 ohm.If all of this makes you feel clueless,send it to me..There are some websites that'll show you the location of these components and some mods.

That was clear...............

Cool...If you like the overall sound and character of your wah,just change that 68k input resistor...If you lower that gain resistor,you'll increase the overall gain of your wah...You could use a pot in place of that gain set resistor and lower the 68k as 2 seperate mods?...

Yes.....i suppose i could do that, it seems interesting.......even though i'm only using the wah for a couple of songs....................Thanks a lot.

Re: Dunlop wha problems

I just have the basic Cry Baby. Does it also have the 68k input resistor?

Yep..
