Does anyone knows what caps values are used to switch between wacked/jimi/shaft mods?

Just opened mine up. The three green caps next to the rotary selector read:

502
103
203

Knowing Fulltone it's just a FoxRox wah retrofit (or variation) with external level control... what else it can be bro?

I'm wondering if this is jfet or opamp based. According to Fuller himself "All the ones I've tried added harsh treble so I developed one that doesn't. " this is something else :)

I must be deaf then 8) :mrgreen: it's engaged only when wah is on, and it sounds linear to me... well at least much nicer than without in front of FF

Hello everyone, I ended up redesigning an inverted scheme that I found online because I found it confusing.

The deluxe does not seem to have the buffer as standard. Only an internal 2k trimpot, an input level. And the 3 types of voice.

I hope to help someone who is looking.

If someone finds some error I can fix it.

I think the one you based your redraw on messed up the pot connections. As drawn, you will ground your output at one end of the rotation. This is pretty much a Vox v847 so have a look at it's schematic and you'll see what I mean.
