Converting Crybaby Wah to expression pedal - change pot?

Yes, exactly What I mean at 2:28 ''I did all this just to proove something almost already obivous''

not a bad test/experience anyway, if I consider the prevoius video I did when the Harley Benton was Original, just unboxed.

In that video it seems to me that the Harley Benton was even more On/Off than the Dunlop.. and of course it sounded different

check it if you want

Hi, Questions.

Why a 1k resistor? 1w or 1/2w?

this potentiometer would be good?

Thanks

The resistor is just a safety precaution - but as they're so cheap, may as well use one!

In the end I didn't use it.

About the pot, it must be at least ok to mount that "plastic crown" in order to be controlled by the "plastic saw bar".

Sorry.. better post a pic, not sure what I wrote

Thanks for your prompt response.

the plastic crown and saw are in the kit (see the 1rst link below)

it's a shame the strymon's page no longer exists. I base this on your work


So, what i have found to do an exp pedal in Europe :

Wah Enclosure : 40€

Potentiometer 10k : 5€

Embase 1/4 Stereo : 4€

resistance 1k : 0,2€

hydrodipping kit : 35€

Total : 85€

Check if the components are the right ones (tell me if ther is an error) and we will have a list to do our shopping

Hehhe.. Exaclty! I've been there before You! That's why I've bought a 2nd hand harley benton for less than 85 (. ..maybe 55/60?) Removed everything but the original pot, And put a stereo output jack.

The greatest difference is the sweep: Linear Vs Log. Depending of the pot (linear in the HB)

Did You see my comparison video with the same wah preset?

It s just a matter of sweep.

SO.. later, I choose to keep the linear one for Morph/pitch/expression and to use the dunolp for wha wah only.

yes, linear is the key

I painted my crybaby I converted to Kemper green...looks great and I've been using it for about 7 years...

I didn;t change any pots, and its a bit on/off but then I find crybaby's are also a bit like that...

thanks !

Ok now it's 100% finish

the only real flaw is that you feel the teeth of the mechanism when you play with it

Really?!? not here ! not the Dunlop nor the Harley Benton.

I assume You Aready tried to put some grease on the saw
