    Default Make wah range better?

    I like my vox wah a lot but at the heel it goes too dark.

    So as an easy fix I put a few layers of duct tape under the heel portion so it won't go all the way down. just a few millimetres if that...and now it is the best wah ever, super easy to ride the sweet spot, the throaty growl I like the best in wahs.

    Sometimes a fix is that simple.

    I thought about it, but then I reasoned it's probably gonna get one step brighter too at the very end, which I don't desire. That, and it's screwed down on my board so I got lazy and did it this way.

    Default Wah

    I have one of those chrome Vox wahs.

    I really like your practical and simple mod.

    Seems like there is a lot of wasted space in the throw of all the wahs I've played, but this Vox has the best useful range yet. This sounds like an effective way to eliminate useless throw space.

    Thanks.
