1) After dismantling the wah I desoldered the old black inductor and took it out.
2) I then tried to fit the new Whipple Inductor but the posts didn't line up so first I tried to bend them then added wires from them only to realize after hours of failing attempts that only two of the legs need to actually be in the circuit!
3) Eventually I soldered in the inductor
4) I then soldered in a 100k pot in parallel with the q resistor which I then later removed as it wasn't needed.
5) I then replace the 'midrange resistor' which is the one in the middle of the row of resistors next to the inductor I changed this from 1.5k to 2k which improved midrange and the bass/treble transition
Opinions
It is a fair bit better sounding, I still need to mess around with the pot to get it right as thats all down to taste and this inductor seems to have less high end so I may look into adding some more. No it isn't suddenly a $250 wah but it is better for under $40 and less then an hours work.
Stayed tuned for the comparison video and audio coming soon
