Hey everyone!

I have a Dunlop Crybaby, and my Waaaah sounds more like a gnah (like saying gnocchi), very short and abrupt sweep.

Can anyone tell me what components affect this, I've seen some mods posted on the web talking about changing some resistors, a capcitor, and lastly the inductor.

I'm just wondering which is the biggest contributor to the "length" of the sweep.

thanks

Replacing the 1K5 resistor with a 2K2 will give you more mids and should smooth out the heel to toe sweep. It should have bands of brown-green-red-gold.
Sounds like it's also too much on the heel end of the sweep.
1. Loosen the tension ring on the straight gear and move it away from the round gear.
2. With the pedal still upside down and the heel of the pedal on your end, roll the round gear so the teeth going over the top of the gear. Roll it until it stops.
3. Now put the straight gear right next to the round gear. Move the round gear the opposite way you just move it a tooth or two away from where it stops so you don't damage the pot.
4. Put the straight gear back on and tighten up the tension ring.
