Wha Wha Potentiometer/upgrades ?

[Tone Slinger]

I've got a couple wha Wha pedals in need of some help. One is an '87 Dunlop, the other, a '92. The eldest one definately has a bad pot.The other might just need cleaned (pot) a bit. I have very briefly checked online for replacement pots and was wondering which type to get. I see mainly 100k to 200k value. Whats reccomended ?

I think the standard is 100K, but checking my notes to see how changing pot value affects tone/usage. I modified several Wah Wahs with various inductors and changed lots of resitor values, etc. It has been so long, that I forgot everything. Let me see what I can find.

100K, look on ebay there are always several types, just stay away from the Dunlop ones!! I like the full tone and area 51 pots the best

I know that Tone Slinger asked this question before, because I responded similarly with "Fulltone" wah pots if they are still available.

**Tone Slinger, you're getting like the rest of us old timers here, you're now at the half timers mark. lol**
