Tnx

Check an earlier post. It is a dual 500K/50K pot. From the schematic, it appears that the 50K section is for the wah. Does this have a volume function as well? That would explain the 500K section.

I've been trying to fix mine for ages. I think the 500k part is for volume. I have a black pedal and a grey one. In the grey one both the 50k and 500k parts of the pot are connected to the circuit, but in the black one there's the same pot but only the 50k part is connected. The grey one's tend to have a higher output so the 500k part is definately for some kind of boost. I've been chatting with this guy from a company called 'banzai effects' about getting the pot cloned because it has a custom taper which characterises the sound of this wah. He said it's on his 'to do' list but hasn't started the project yet. Darn! Sounds hopeful though.

Hello,

for what it's worth,
The WH10 exists in 2 versions, the single and the dual pot, referring to the pot used to alter the frequency. The one posted above, the single pot, is the one for which the schematic is easiest to be found. However it's the least common type sold. The dual pot is indeed a lot tougher. The pot is a combination of a 50k linear and a 500k "w" or "g" taper. Impossible to find. Believe me... i've spend hours.
the schematic for the dual can be found here:
