How I Modified A Guitar Effect Pedal

by Enfant Terrible

I wanted my own sound, and I found it in a Rogue Wah/Volume Pedal. When I turned up the difference all the way and pressed the pedal forward, a crazy and unique sound would come out...

But I wanted that sound to be turned on and off, clean and not, like a regular pedal can.

So what I did was just go to Radioshack and pick up an on/off button and some 1/4" sterio phone jacks. Then I took on old instrement cable and made switcher. The diagram went like this:

00000000000000000 input 00000000000000000000
00000000000000000000|00000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000|00000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000|00000000000000000000000
output ____________/ \___________00000000000
0000000000000|000 on/off 00000000|0000000000
0000000000000|0000000000000000000|0000000000
0000000000000|0000000000000000000|0000000000
0000000000000U0000000000000000000U0000000000
0000000IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII0000000
0000000IIIIIIIIIII pedal box IIIIIIII0000000
0000000IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII0000000

I placed the button on top of the box, and now it is possible to change it from clean to not in just one tap of my foot.

I run it along with a DOD Supra Distortion Pedal, and it is the coolest sound. I hope if you decide to try something similer to this that you have the same results.
