Description

THOMAS/VOX or CRYBABY special pot retrofit, joe gagan design.
(note - bracket in photo not included, please read entire description)
dig your classic fuzz-wah out of the closet, you really CAN use it again  >> thanks to this great service upgrade.
we are the wah-pot experts. we have taken the time to develop a special modern upgrade for the classic thomas stereo fuzz wah dual pot arrangement.
we were asked by a good customer ( thanks spook!)
to retrofit a pair of hotpotz2 pots by dunlop for this classic wah. this is possibly the most durable wah pot in history. you will not need to replace these pots in the next 20 years, if the past is any indication of how they hold up.
while we were at it, we made a special set of instructions and two calibration videos to assist you in getting these set up  for perfect sound. the videos are not public, we provide the links with the purchase of this setup. we also are available by phone or email for any other help you need when installing, we are committed to your success!
included:
-2  new or near-new tested hotpotz2 by dunlop, cut to proper length for mounting gear on both pots. these gears were removed from dunlop serivce harnesses and never used in a pedal. see installation note below *
-NEW dunlop wah gear with D hole.
-links to our exclusive calibration videos (2) and special step by step instructions. we did the work to save YOU time.
put our experience to work for you.
*we leave the blue/ yellow/ black pigtails soldered on for 3 reasons :
1.most people find that soldering to the stock HP2 turrets very difficult without heating the pot to a high degree.
2.the brittle vintage wire in the 70s thomas stereo fuzzwahs is delicate, recommend handling carefully,  apply 3 new pieces heat shrink to wires, then quickly soldering to the pigtails. use heat shrink  to reinforce the new connection.
3. less chance of having to shorten your vintage wires in the original pedal.
note: photos show the wah in the background and the bracket that holds the pots. THESE ARE NOT INCLUDED. they are shown to illustrate how we work on the parts.
thanks, and have  wah wah wahnderful day
