Want 100K lin expression pedal (or cheap wah shell)

I need a 100k lin expression pedal for my early edition DryBell V-1 Vibe Machine.
Anyone got or know a source of inexpensive expression pedal or wah shells in the UK?

I've just picked up a non-working Crybaby. Jeez, it's heavy.
I really need something lightweight as I'm going to have at least two of these on my board - one for my wah, and at least one expression pedal.
Can anyone recommend a lightweight pedal/shell?

So, I think I'm going to end up with multiple solutions for this.
I've got a few Chinese Vox Wah shells coming from prehistoric (they're aluminium, apparently, and therefore lighter than the usualk zinc shells) together with a HotPots II 100K pot.
I've also picked up a 100K linear pot that I hope will be a drop-in replacement for the B10K pot in my Roland EV-5 expression pedal. These are plastic and *much* lighter than the Crybaby shells.
I'll shake down all the stuff I need and post the rest on here when I've worked out what I'm keeping.
Cheers all.

Please post up a link to this part if it works out: I really like my EV-5 and have built several "remote wah" pedals using an expression pedal input jack to utilise the EV-5, but that 10k pot limits the number of circuits that can be used. I'd like to build a Colorsound inductorless wah which needs a 100kB.robinbowes wrote:I've also picked up a 100K linear pot that I hope will be a drop-in replacement for the B10K pot in my Roland EV-5 expression pedal.

This is the part: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/100k-andohm-m ... eter-jm74r
It is a perfect fit - exactly the same as the stock part except it has pcb-mount pins instead of solder tags, and the stock part has a slot in the end of the shaft.
It works fine as an expression pedal for the Vibe Machine but the sweep is not great ie. it doesn't go from min speed to max. I think I can live with that though.

This is probably a bit after the fact, but Das Music Ding (in the wah parts section) sell the Bournes 100K wah pots that Stu Castledine recommends for Colorsound wahs. You can probably get them cheaper from Farnell or Mouser, but Music Ding supply them with the gear:Nocentelli wrote:Please post up a link to this part if it works out: I really like my EV-5 and have built several "remote wah" pedals using an expression pedal input jack to utilise the EV-5, but that 10k pot limits the number of circuits that can be used.

I really wish you could get wah enclosures in the UK. I bought a couple from Mammoth in the US - $48 is not that cheap and I wound up paying about the same again in shipping and customs fees.
