gagan's circuit brilliance on full display here, find out why thousands consider gagan to be the ' wah guru '
inspired by the classic, unique, vocal & musical sweep of the 70s colorsound / musonic wahs.
a couple hundred people have told us that their favorite vintage wah they ever owned was a 70s colorsound. and for good reason. they have a unique throaty sound and bright 'squish' in the top end that is unlike any other wah, due to interesting circuit differences.
-trubypass
-GAGAN handwound colorsound-style 14mm bobbin inductor, wrapped in insulating tubecan for quiet operation (differs from photo)
no risk trial, 30 DAYS! return for a full refund less shipping. no hard feelings, we do not want you to keep it if you don't LOVE it.

colosrounds were NOT JUST a crybaby or vox clone, the engineers used a nylon hoop mechanism and linear taper pot, which accelerates at the treble end of sweep for a funky quack. the circuit itself was heavily altered to accommodate this sweep factor. attempts to clone this classic have always had limitations, TIL NOW!
PROBLEM! a lot of the originals are very worn out. the shell was a tin can, the axle holes get gored beyond any hope of precision, and the original weak pots are usually worn and scratchy.
solution! now, we have duplicated and improved this circuit for present day RELIABLE use in many modern wah shells*

-these make the wah fully adjustable for volume matching and full growl. this allows you to tailor the response to any pickups or guitar, bass ,etc. ~~~anything from stock colorsound sweetness all the way to funkified nasty growl ( and many in between!) , all available in the settings.
-special transistors specially selected for correct '70s low gain- no more harsh highs or crazy hiss.
-expensive metallized poly and other high quality caps in key tone path locations.
- Superior chassis mount 9V power jack for use with power supply (this kit requires you to drill Dunlop's power jack hole to 1/2“ using supplied step bit ).

also can use 9v battery with the provided high quality batt clip.
-FREE! new gagan exclusive:DOUBLE THICK bottom plate with modern inged battery box. (may look slightly used, recycled, straightened and cleaned bottom plates are implemented to make these)

clear lens superbright 3mm orange LED mounted firmly within millimeters of
switch. you will need to drill a 1/8" hole. please send a message at checkout to add this option- we will invoice the $20 add-on.
- note, some of the caps, resistors or other parts in your kit may not match the photo components exactly. HOWEVER, we never substitute a lesser quality part than the ones pictured.
fits all 1990 and newer dunlops with the circuit-board mounted jacks, and later dunlop made voxes with same type board. as long as your board looks like the one in our picture, it WILL fit. please contact us with any questions ,we are always happy to help.

tuning notes:
set controls in this order:
1. bias.-should be near full CW for vintage colorsound tones. adds lows when fully CW.
2. body, ( this sets the mids. stock is 1/3 up from full CCW )
3. Vol 2. this adds a lot of low end near the last 1/4 of CW.
4. vol 1. match your bypass tone , or set a little higher like some players prefer.
dipswitches are progressive,
stock is # 1 only
a little deeper is 1 & 3 on, next deep is 1 & 2 on, deepest is 1,2,3 all on.
thinner than stock is 2 & 3 on, super thin is # 2 only.
the above is good if the growl factor is already where you like it.
if you want more or less growl than my stock tuning, set the BIAS before changing the dipswitches.
set gain AFTER Bias, and VOL last for overall volume setting.
