Vintage Wah Question

2/21/2000 7:47 PM
Deltablues	Vintage Wah Question I have a vintage "fasel" Thomas Organ wah. When I first got it, it was horribly miswired (static popping etc...). I rewired the pedal as per the diagrams on Fulltone's web site. Now it sounds "Great" when used with a battery. Here's are the questions... It came with a 1/8" jack that was wired presumably to provide the option of using a walwart. It looks original, but can anyone tell me if the Thomas Organ 70's Crybabies came with a ac power option? Second, I tried wiring this the way it was when I got it, but I get this god awful 60 cycle hum. And before you say it's a bad walwart, it's one of the same one's I use with other pedals with no problems. What would be the "correct" way to wire the 1/8" jack (Using the Fulltone diagram as a reference)?
