It works, needs some maintenance and I am wanting to restore it to new.

Anyone know of Wah Wah collector forums?

Cheers!

i've fixed up a handful of jen wahs. might be worth asking over on the DAM forum, some vintage wah collectors on there.

...is the white Fasel more rare or better than other colors? My (dad's) old Mr.CryBaby has the red one and I love it! Been using it over 20 years now!
i love delay SO much ...that i procrastinate all the time.

my amp tech reckons the inductors are all the same... but in my admittedly limited experience green > white > red.

it's well documented that no two jens sound the same and i'm not clever enough to be able to identify exactly why

I haven’t heard of green Fasels, but I have heard that there are yellow ones, and that those should be avoided. The red and white are supposed to be the same thing, only the white are less common.
