What's The Difference Between Yellow & Red Fasels?

Re: What's The Difference Between Yellow & Red Fasels?

I've modded "alot" of wahs...When I've tryed the yellow and red fasels in the same wah and with the circuit being the same,I Like the red over the yellow...The red is slightly more vocal sounding...The yellow is cleaner sounding...The inductor in fact does make a difference and there are much better inductors and I don't use the dunlop fasels...The newer dunlop fasels(As Christian stated)do not sound like an original one...

I like the Fulltone inductors,the Whipple is nice,and there are a few really good "Clyde" style inductors available to us now....When I started modding wahs,pretty much the Fulltone inductor was king...You can no longer buy these inductors though...

The pot sweep makes a difference,as does what parts of the circuit get tweaked...A wah is a filter basically and when you tweak,you tweak to find the sweep sweet spots through the wah's range...It's a combination of components overall and not just one component..

I still use a 1993 Vox 847 that I Modded several years ago that blew away Teese's Picture Wah that I payed like $150 for...I returned that wah and had an 848 for awhile that I modded,but sold it....My 847 has a stack of dimes inductor in it and a Fulltone pot...I've done several tweaks and added a pcb power supply to it....Just a wonderful sounding wah...I've spent many hours trying out many different inductors also..

Yeah, I think I've found my new hobby. I found a used Vox Mcoy (newer model) and a Dime wah that should get here next week. At least it's cheaper than wanting another Les Paul or Marshall.

The Vox 848 is a nice wah,has the power supply already...With a few tweaks it becomes a much better wah....

I don't mod wahs anymore,so please no questions on how to mod...I just tweak for myself these days! ;o)

that was my thinking too and i was up to 20 wahs at one point :eyecrazy: got a little out of hand since you can score some great deals if you hunt for them. i have two other custom color limited edition wahs i think i'm going to mod and sell since i really do have way too many at this point and i enjoy modding them and trying new stuff just to try it.
