I've been playing with trying to fit an inductor switch between red and yellow fasel into a Crybaby wah for a while now... I know there's a wah out there that already has it, but I can't find schematics for it anywhere.
This is how I think it could be done on a GCB-95 circuit board, but I'm not quite sure whether to use a DPDT or SPDT switch between the two of them. I think the DPDT would be better, switching between both the in and out of L1, and I think with SPDT it would be odd, and the two inductors tied together at the output would cause issues, as if they were wired in series.
Either would work. Neither is preferred as far as I am aware.
Another option is to take Inductor 1, connect one end to the PCB, and the other to Inductor 2. Then, connect the free end of Inductor 2 to the PCB. So, both inductors are in series. NOW, use an SPDT switch. Outside lugs to where the inductors connect to the PCB, middle lug to where the inductors connect together. In one position, one inductor is shorted out (the equivalent of a piece of wire), while the other is in the circuit. Flip the switch, and the shorted inductor is now in the circuit, and the other inductor becomes a piece of wire. Make sense?
