RAD! same 50 year durability of the best 60s pedals.- chassis mount power jack, no more junky PCB mount power jack, which was problematic in wah shell due to depth of hole.-100% stronger double bottom plate with special battery door. our BEST drop in kit for the common dunlop wah shell ('89 thru 2021). will also fit older crybaby and vox. boomerangs have an extended mid range that is very vocal, & a sweet top end that never hurts your ears. this kit has it! features: -all new parts, Quality mini tru-bypass switch. - red fasel inductor, revoiced by gagan for proper boomerang type response and throaty tone. -GAGAN HAND WOUND Stack of Dimes TYPE INDUCTOR optional , see below* - real open frame 50 year+ durabilty open frame REAN ( neutrik) jacks, not shown in photos. we currently prefer REAN's quality to similar . - military grade RV4 spec wah pot with correct audio taper for boomer like feel and tone. NO BUFFERS in or out. vintage wahs did not have buffers, we think they wreck the tone. if you are running a fuzz after wah, contact us with a note listing your signal chain, we can advise, we have solutions for this. -4 trimpots: 1. input volume, 2.gain , 3.bias 4. body, aka mids - 3 position dipswitch for frequency selections, up to 7 combos. these trims and switches 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 boomerang sweet watery sweep all the way to swampy, nasty growl is all available in the settings. feel free to contact us anytime for help in setting these if needed.

NOTE: if you have a 90s,2000s dunlop made vox wah with no power jack hole, this kit will still work with no modding. just ignore the power jack, no problems. NOTE: this kit will NOT fit vintage boomerangs, or crybaby wahs made before 1988. 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! in 5 years, 750+ sold, only two have been returned ( for reasons unrelated to the tone or quality!) tuning notes: set trimmers in this order: 1. bias. should be near full CW for 60s boomerang tones. 2. pre vol 3. body ( this sets the mids. stock boomer is 1/3 up from full CCW ) 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. handy tip: there is a unique treble bleed in the faux boomer input section. similar to a treble bleed on the guitar volume special note on spectrum enhancement using the treble bleed function: to activate MORE treble bleed, turn gain DOWN and pre VOL UP. this lets more highs sneak in around the gain trimmer, straight to the circuit. it adds more spectrum to the entire range,it isn't just for more treble. one possible downside is, with high gain going INTO wah, you may hear too much high end in your heel down position.most of all - USE YOUR EARS!
