Farrow	Re: Wah ftswitch change? Or just raise amp volume? BTW, keep in mind that many newer wah pedals incorporate a transistor to buffer the guitar signal in bypass mode already. Open up your wah and count the transistors. If it has more than two, (assuming it's not a fuzz/wah or something fancy) then it's probably buffered and doesn't really "suck tone." Also, RG's JFET mod can be incorporated into lots of '70's and '80's MXR pedals (with and without LED's) to avoid tone sucking! Farrow http://surf.to/pharaohamps
