The other day my friend Neil gave me 3 Wah Wah pedals to look at, I thought this might make an interesting video and if you have a similar fault with these type of pedals you might well be able to fix your own.

Bought several non-working wahs on ebay and Craig’s list to use the enclosures for several projects. First few I didn’t question their actual working/non-working status and ripped the guts out and replaced them. Got an early Hendrix wah that I decided to plug in and it worked perfectly. Picked up a newer Cry Baby 535Q - got it cheap because it didn’t work - worked perfectly.
Vox from Reverb : Well , opened the battery plate and was full of acid most wires and bottom & case cleaned out . Re solder new 9v plug . Shoot the pots with contact cleaner . Phono jacks cleaned . Now working ! $68.00
Winner!
I have the exact same pedal as the second one you worked on (Dunlop), but it's labeled as the Jimi Hendrix Special (Model JH-1S). It also has a scratchy pot, but the gets less scratchy after using it for a while. On the bottom panel is silk screened a picture of Jimi, and his "selected discography" starting with Are You Experienced - 1967 through Crash Landing - 1975,
I'd Say it's Time to Get a New Dunlop Replacement Pot Making Sure to Note The Proper Pot Ohm Rating for Your Model/Rev By Simply Using a DVM/Volt/Ohm Meter on Pins 1 and 3 of The Pot Using a DVM/Volt/Ohm Meters 200K Ohm Range Setting to Make Sure You Get The Corect Ohm Value Potentiometer for Your Model/Revision Wah.
Well done sir. I can’t fix anything but you made it look easy. Last part was difficult to see because the camera wasn’t at a good angle.
nice work. I have a Dunlap here mint condition I bought 20 years ago, hardly even used it. it quit. now I know where to start, hopefully it's the connector solder joints on the board like those.
That was truly excellent. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Found it interesting
THANKS SIR MATTHEW,..YOUR A GOOD TECHNICIAN
EXCELLENT VIDEO Great tips and explanations.
Thank you very much
Great vid Matt. 👌
How do you identify a "cold solder" joint?
You can normally see a split or a crack or it just looks very very dull
Thanks man. I need to get into the pot with some contact cleaner. This helped me see how it's done.
Great video mate 🇦🇺👍
RE: the 2nd pedal, have one with similar electronics - my battery cable is routed under the circuit board. Mine was functioning but the sound was a horrible, high pitched distortion. I changed the 2 electrolytic caps before checking anything else. It sounds like it should, now. But, it's still not quite right. Because i didn't watch this video before starting i did a bit too much disassembly and i think i need to get the gear arm back to its correct spot on the gear of the pot. By the way, i have cutters that look just like that. I got them at harbor freight, but I'm in the US.
The red microcutters CHP-170. Good ones.
Great Wah Repair Video, Thanx for The Knowledge and Uploading My Good Man ☺☺😎👊💯
Jewelry and lapidary tool outlets have tools you would be interested in to replace your wire cutters.
What would be the problem if the pedal sticks
I need to fix two dunlop crybaby pedals...can I send you the pedals?
Interesting video .I came across this hoping to find a fix for the issue i have with my Jim Dunlop GCB-95 .
I have no tention at all so the toe position just goes straigh down without any resistance at all.
Could you possibly advice on this or even better do an instructional video?
You certainly know your stuff .
by no tension do you mean physical, or is it just going from effectively bass, to treble with no change in between ? if its the latter id suggest as a guess a wire has fallen off the pot. Or the pot is broken.
Do you mean tension from the P-clip? i.e. the weight of the treadle is easily passing the rack through the hole and spinning the pinion/potentiometer.
Cross-headed Screwdriver?? Is there a way we could make that tool 5 syllables instead?
Phillips.
I have a dunlop wah that has had the wrong polarity applied and is now dead. Any tips on what to check? Thanks.
Nothing is wrong internally the problem is when I push down on the pedal it does not engage is there something that could be missing or came a loose that keeps the pedal from pushing the button down
If There's Nothing Electrical Failing it Sounds Like Either Your SPDT (On/On) Switch May Have Gone Bad or it Needs a Height Adjustment, The Simplest Test for That is While You Have Your Wah Hooked Up With The Foot Cradle Toeup Physically Push The SPDT Switch On/Off With Your Finger, If The Effect Engages Your Switch is Good and Nothing Electrically is Failing, Which Would Mean it is The Nuts on The Switch That Need Height Adjustment, First Remove The Outer Nut on The Switch, Then Pull The Switch Out and Turn The Inner Nut Down About 2 to 3 Turns, Put The Switch Back in and Replace and Tighten The Outside Nut and Test for Proper Switch Height and See if You Can Now Toedown Your Cradle and Engage/Disengage The Effect, If Needed Repeat Those Steps Adjusting The Inner Nut Varying Turns (Clockwise/Counter Clockwise) Until The Switch Position/Height is To Your Taste/Touch.
Please help, the gear in my cry baby wah pedal keeps falling out of place when I press down the pedal
Got to like when your wah peddle doesn't wah anymore but acts like a volume peddle
Have you seen the prices on volume pedals lately? Lol!
Dupont cry baby not working
i didn't even know dupont MADE wah pedals
Should have bought a Dunlop.
My vox one started getting floppy and wouldn't stay in position..what do I do? I got a better one but it seems like a waste.
