MKB	Re: What brand of pot for CryBaby wah? I just replaced the pot in my seventies Cry Baby with a Hot Potz 2, purchased from a contributor here (Skreddy). He had the best price I could find. Here's the URL for his site: http://happybob.com/marc/music_gear.htm His service was great, immediate email reply, and I had the pot in two days (Priority Mail). Fantastic service! He also has some good tips on his site on installing a wah pot and altering the taper a bit with a resistor. The pot works very well, but I am still getting used to the sweep. The old one was not a proper replacement, so I have to get used to this one. BTW, the Fulltone pot appears in all the ads to be an open Alpha, which probably won't last very long.
