  • Page 7: Modifications

    OmniWah v1.0 Modifications Mix and match You could mix a few options of different versions to get your own custom effect. I think it would be a good idea to add R1 (pull down resistor) and P2 (Gain) to all types. This way you can reduce the pop when switching on the effect and add a gain control that influence the tone of the wah.

    OmniWah v1.0 Build sequence Soldering this board can be very complicated for some people since the solder pads are very close together. Use a magnifying glass to make the job easier. The trick to soldering a PCB is to work from small to big components.
