I had this idea while watching a performance of this local who goes by the name "Gull". I want to build it for him just because, he plays guitar while playing drums and it's awesome. Youtube Gull and Richmond.

Anyway, have you heard of anything like this? I imagine if I gut a wah and somehow position it in the cavity of a hi-hat or kick pedal, install a switch...I dunno really. Any leads?

I'm not sure what you are trying to do? You aren't really explaining what you want.

I youtube'd that guy, it's pretty awesome. You can tell he likes Lightning Bolt.

You'd think so, but not really.

I was a bit messed up when I wrote this.

So imagine you have a hi-hat or kick pedal and you also have a wah-wah. You then combine the two. A kick/hi-hat pedal that also is a wah-wah...or any kind of expression pedal(Uni-vibe, Whammy, etc.)

I suppose you could get two strong pieces of metal and attach them to corresponding places on the exp/wah pedal and to the hi-hat or bass pedal.



I don't know if the sweep of the hi-hat pedal is wide enough to work with the exp.

I think the pedals should be one pedal. Perhaps gut a wah and figure it out from there

Hey how about somethin like this:

1. Rehouse a wah circuit in a small enclosure with an exp. jack
2. Weld a pot to the rotating shaft of said kick pedal (wiper to shaft, Getting the body of the pot to stay still is your own challenge :P)
3. Wire pot to a second exp jack (maybe in a lipstick tube or something similar)

So you'd eventually get something like this.

Guitar ----> "wah" Pedal house -------> Amp/pedal board etc.
