I have an old gutted Vox V847 Wah here.

Stripped. No jacks, inductor, board, etc. I've been trying to think of something interesting to do with it. Anybody have any ideas?

Doorstopper
Paper weight
If you have a lot of them and some cement, you could build a "wahll"

That's all I could think of for now...

Forgive Modman

He pretend that he don't care, but deep inside he still don't care

If it were me, I would make it into a volume pedal... Then again, I need a volume pedal, so that shifts my bias towards that.

Have you got the gear and the rack? If so, you can put a pot back into the thing and then build a Wah / Volume pedal. There are many "inductor-less" designs around, but the best results (IMHO) are with an inductor. Look at the circuit of the Colorsound Wal / Vol pedal, and add an input buffer (for higher impedance in) and an output buffer (so that it'll drive anything you connect it to). You're looking at a small piece of Veroboard and just four transistors!
