Re: your fav wah wah
I don't know if this is true but I read that you can take the spring off that moves it back to the heel-back position. I kind of like the spring, since I never use it in one position. And for a different effect I can smack the pedal for a chord and it will go off without me having to turn it off. :headbang:

Re: your fav wah wah
I'm very intriqued with this pedal and I'm wondering if there are any sound samples available to us?

Re: your fav wah wah
The pots wear out from the constant up and down travel from one's foot..The pot gets staticy and wore out from use...The rest of the components in the wah don't wear out normally.

Re: your fav wah wah
I have a 535Q that I love also "stolen" off ebay but for $80. The variable Q control on the bottom adjusts the width of the sweep. The higher the Q control, the wider the sweep on the wah. I have the range control on mine 1 or 2 (can't remeber) notches down from the treble postion, the Q control all the way up, and the boost set to about 10-12db. This is a bit loud for clean wah, but I only use my wah for overdrive. With this setting you get enough of a volume boost to be heard over a second guitar for solos. If you want to set the volume just loud enough to over the typical volume drop, set it to 3-5db.

Re: your fav wah wah
As John said, the pot goes bad. But the inductor also goes bad and when the inductor went bad in my original late 60's Vox wah I could only replace it with a newer inductor which didn't sound as vocal or as good. Fulltone now makes pots and inductors that get the tone of those original 60's Vox Wahs like Hendrix, Beck and Clapton used. Nothing else sounds as good to me, tho my reissueVox Chrome Top Wah sounds much better than my Crybabys. I use a wah for tone shaping and for drawing notes out like a turumpet player might with do with mute. Like Hendrix does. Lew
