Title: Replacing Crybaby switch
Post by: fbloke on April 07, 2011, 07:16:48 PM

The switch in my wah wah has gone and I can't find the replacement part in the uk.   Has anyone located one?

Even Maplin are cheaper than that

think about putting a true bypass switch in there - its an easy mod while you've got it open

this is a decent quality switch though.. not your maplin special.. and it will let you truebypass your pedal

i was quite shocked when i went in maplins the other day to find out that 90% of there switches are actually carling and also the jacks are all switchcraft, neutrik and cliff jacks.

i thought it would all be unbranded cr@p.
