Hi!
I found this old thread about modifying the Roland AD-50 Double Beat Fuzz-Wah pedal. I have one of these and I wold like to perform the mod on it.

The original poster has not replied, and the video of the mod is gone. Can someone help?

There are two changes I would like to make:
1. Change the order of the wah circuit and the fuzz circuit.
By default the fuzz is placed before the wah. That is quite cool for special ocations, but in general I like it better the other way around.
I have tried to change the input (hot) chain from going "input->wah->fuzz->output" to "input->fuzz->wah->output" but it resulted in strange noise from the wah. I guess there is some more rewiring to be done.
Does anybody have some information they can share on this?
2. Remove the dB-drop from the wah-circuit.
This part I think I have control over. I found this information on another forum:
"-Snip out / desolder the 33k resistor (Orange/Orange/Orange) and discard
-Solder a jumper across the 47k resistor (Yellow/Violet/Orange)
Alternatively, snip out / desolder that resistor too and move the yellow wire (Wah input, from the wah switch) to the pad on the other side of the resistor"

If someone has some information to share I'll be much obliged.
