| I have a fender 2000 whose tone pot gives a perfect boo-wah. The problem is, I have a lot of trouble getting my pinky over there fast enough. I have an old, unusable crybaby wah that I've been thinking of gutting and putting a pot and cap like the fender ones.Forit to work in that pedal, it would have to have a long shaft (like the crybaby one). What should I try? OR, has anyone tried rewiring a crybaby with the original pot in it, making it a passive tone pedal? Please don't tell me to get a volume-tone pedal. I've tried that route, and want to try something different...Although, guys on here have talked about a switch rigged on your volume pedal to temporarily turn it into a tone pedal--anyone know how to do that? |

| I purchased a new Fender volume pedal from Musicians Friend for some reason it gives a great boo-wah effect when used. It is the model with just volume control only. Price way under 100 with case and cord in most cases. |

| The old Fender Tone and Volume pedal used a 250K pot. A 500K would be fine. Danny Gatton used a 1 meg and a .05 cap in his Tele for a great wah effect. |

The Fender Dual~Pro and T-8 Custom used 1Meg. Linear w/.05 cap. The hardest part was to slow down the change!!!

| That's what I read about the Gatton setup. Most of the change was in the first 1/3 of the controls travel. Not much if any change after that. |
