pHiL	Re: Wah inductor source I have one of Mike's inductors in my '79 Crybaby after the original died on me. It does sound very good and I'm quite happy with. BTW, I also put one of his wah pots in while I was at it and it sounds excellent as well. I kept the original dead inductor and even tried repairing it with some spare pickup wire that I had laying around. I guess I should clarify that the original inductor was the brownish red "03" marked one that has a four legged square base whith the inductor housing being shaped like a small stack of dimes. Interestingly though the windings were on a small nylon spool and the whole thing was held together with a small brass screw and nut setup that I'm assuming is what you've been referring to as "the core". I always loved the sound of the original inductor and may try to rewind it some day if I can find the right wire. I was able to get a measurement on the impedance and approximate length of the wire. For now though the Fulltone parts sound pretty darn good.
