wah wah tone control trick

specially modified CTS pot , makes the tele sound
like it is plugged into a wah pedal. recorded with a straight cord plugged into the famous vibrolux used in my other videos.

It's not modified, it's just a different taper.

***

it IS modified, i opened it up and altered the carbon on the contact. thanks for your guess, though.

You get much the same effect if you use a 500k pot, except it's in the last part of the travel. I believe that's how Danny Gatton ran his guitars.

@rud3m3chanical , that is possible, many amazing things can be done with pots. i use mine so much i wear them out!

[joegagan]

no, just a cts pot, modified internally to make the sweep occur in the first quarter turn. has a regular cap to ground (.o22?) but no inductor.

you sound like you're in a cave.

god, i love reverb...

[BountyHunter233]

yes

...I liked it.

It is a great idea.... but, isn't it a little hard to play? it's easier with a pedal switch. isn't it?

Hah! Just mastered it on my strat. Thanks for the idea. Very vibe-y and wah wah cool. I didn't have to buy a pedal or special knob.
