Re: Cry Baby Wah Switch Replacment?

Y.	Re: Cry Baby Wah Switch Replacment? Bill, you probably already looked this up, but true bypass is as easy as the following(assuming the picture doesn't get screwed up). There are 6 lugs on the switch (two on each side, two on the bottom) Looking at the botton of the switch: Hot input to-----------Hot Input-------- circuit board Bypass Jumper Output from------------Hot Ouput--------/ Wah pot (or output from whatever effect) The "bypass wire" in you Crybaby that runs from the circuit board to the SPDT switch isn't used. I set up sometimes with no effects and sometimes with as many as 7 or 8 and I can't preach the benefits of true bypassing enough. - Y. (wyatt poist)

Bill, you probably already looked this up, but true bypass is as easy as the following(assuming the picture doesn't get screwed up).

There are 6 lugs on the switch (two on each side, two on the bottom) Looking at the botton of the switch:

 
Hot input to-----------Hot Input--------
 
circuit board                            Bypass
 
                                         Jumper
 
                                         
 
Output from------------Hot Ouput--------/
 
Wah pot
 
(or output from 
 
whatever effect)

The "bypass wire" in you Crybaby that runs from the circuit board to the SPDT switch isn't used.

I set up sometimes with no effects and sometimes with as many as 7 or 8 and I can't preach the benefits of true bypassing enough.
