JohnC	noisy wah I just got an Ibanez Standar Wau Wau (made in japan) I would say that it has never been used. With the effect switch on, it makes continuously a horrible noise like the sound of a rough wind. If I shortcircuit the two leads of the (inductor? I mean that tipical component in all wahwahs) the horrible sound stops, but of course, so does the effect itself: only clear sound coming out) Any help? I replaced the electrolytic caps allready. Thanks in advance. jc
