Hey folks,
My wah pedal started squeeking (mechanically) some weeks ago. Now it is so loud when rocking the pedal beck and forth that I can barely use it at home.
I figured out that the squeeking comes fomr the point where the footpedal is mounte to the unit. Problem is that there are no screws and I can not match the point where I guess I should put some oil on to.
Do you have some hints for me maybe?

There is a metal band under the top of the pedal and it goes around a pivot shaft. Put a drop of 3 in 1 oil or Triflow on the point where these contact each other and you should be good. The other spots are the two side pivots and you could try a drop on them as well.
The final option is on the inside where the gear strip touches the tensioner. It needs a little bit of grease but it probably wouldn't be causing a squeak anyway. Just as a last resort.
Those are the only mechanical spots on the pedal. Good luck.
