Ibanez WH10V2 Wah repairs and mods

* An Ibanez WH10V2 Wah came in, and unfortunately it had the specific stereo pot that comes with these pedals, broken. You can see the missing piece of track from the 50K side(it is a 50K +500K pot).
Luckily I found this model in the US, and bought 2.
Works great now!
I also did some mods and removed some capacitors, slightly upped some resistors, so that it does not have that much tone suck anymore. It matches the in and outs of the WH10V1 now. Quite a nice decent vocal pedal. The range of the pot however is quite difficult to get right as far as adjustments, but after you achieve that, it sounds perfect for the entire range.

    hey man, do you by any chance have the photo of the original footswitch, especially the wh10v1 (or wf10). I'd like to order another one bc mine's busted.

      Sorry, this was a repair for someone long ago in 2018. I don’t have any additional pics other than what is posted here. However, if I look in this video this seems to be a somewhat findable garden variety spdt pushswitch: look at 3.47 https://youtu.be/V4PL9AdDP9U?si=2QfLSwVA2fcSkFO-

      So, needs to be a short screw shaft, latching , like these. Best of luck!
