Finally managed to find a non-functioning Cry Baby – well, the battery clip was missing and the 9v jack didn’t fit my cables so close enough. Also sourced a Dunlop EVH 562MH Inductor for use with a MoWAH v3 board. Changed the trimmers for pots – a 50kC for Trimmer 1 and a 100kA for Trimmer 2 and replaced C8, C8A, C9, C9A with a Roto Tone populated with a 6.8nf, 10nf, 22nf, and 33nf (going to experiment with moving the 22nf to position 4 and populating 3 with a 15nf when it arrives – the 33nf is too bassy for my needs) – using the Roto Tone in place of Switch 2 requires jumping the first two SW2 holes on the board. Other than the 562MH inductor, pots and Roto Tone every thing is pretty much by the build document. Doing a side by side comparison with my other similarly modified MohWAH v3 based pedal with a Red Fasel inductor this one is a bit louder with a sharper edge to it but not that much different.
Here’s the outsides (the round knob on the aft pot is temporary – Small Bear left out one of the white chicken heads I ordered but it is on the way):
And the guts – I love having the bi-color LED indicator on this Wah:
Thanks for looking.

Another great job of using the MOWAH and ROTOTONE!
I love it Chuck. Keep up the great projects and thanks for sharing!
Wahs have always been a key tone shaping tool for me and not just for Wacka – Wacka.
+1 on the Bi-color LED. It makes perfect sense.
Love it!
If my mini crybaby ever quits on me, it will definitely become a post-mortem zombie pedal
+1 on parked wah tone.
In case anybody is looking, I repopulated the Roto Tone with a 15nf cap in position 3 and a 22nf cap in position 4. The 33nf cap I had in 4 would be great for a bass but not so much for a guitar. I like the current cap set (6.8nf, 10nf, 15nf, and 22nf) a lot. Playing around with the guide for a Crybaby 535Q I found a setting between the Frampton Talk Box and Jerry Cantrell that I really like a lot – now I need to figure out how to mark the good spots.
