Hi Guys,
http://rapidshare.com/files/242296164/D ... s.zip.html
I found these gutshots of the CFH somewhere a while ago, forgot about them, got interested in the CFH again, checked back and saw SMD parts. Now I don't know what to think, apart from being a pain in the ass to mod, are SMD parts in anyway affecting the sound? (on one side, the parts will have the same values, but on the other i imagine some reactions might be different?).
I really like the sound of the wah, and the possibilities. I have an Ibanez WD-7 Weeping Demon now, which I like, but it just lacks some mojo for the funk, although the wails are ace. Also on the usability aspect I love the auto-switching on the WD-7, so i'm really torn.
To stop my rambling .. how do SMD components compare to regular ones in a wah like the CFH??

I bought a broken DB-01 off of ebay once thinking I could fix it, but I never did figure out what the problem was. But I did get a red Fasel inductor and a really cool wah shell out of the deal.
Anyhow, yeah, it's SMD. I personally do not think that SMD components are going to sound any better or worse than standard thru hole stuff. They are just different packaging.

Haha I had that same kind of story with a Snarling Dog (and it's a pretty rad shell at that! Heavy like a ton of bricks as well...).Paul Marossy wrote:I bought a broken DB-01 off of ebay once thinking I could fix it, but I never did figure out what the problem was.

Hmm, somehow hearing all that stuff about different types of capacitors and stuff made me think that these might be slightly different, not persee in a bad sense.. It's just tone-snobbery/paranoia then I guess.

if you are looking for a project out of this, i am in the process of making a schem and layout (i found a schem online for the DB-01 which seems correct close to the one i have)
I'll post them in a different for people to use,
The project has a volume boost, switchable inductors (red and Yellow Fassel), fine Q adjustment, fine tune adjustment, sweep range select.
The project is based on a remote controlled wah, meaning a circuit with an LDR controlling the wah using a midi cable. I have the board done already, just need to put values on the schematic and post it
