« 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?

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

£6.50 ???

Even Maplin are cheaper than that

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

Cheers everyone.

Spitfire - the Watford Valves website is splendid and will be getting my business.  Many thanks for the recommendation.

Hotrox are cheaper... http://www.hotroxuk.com/amp-switches-11229-0.html

The Carling DPDT is £4.95 and the 3PDT that everyone and his dog uses are the same price.

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.
