Hey I this is more of a fix than a build but maybe you guys can help
I just brought a pretty much brandnew in box Boss T-Wah TW-1 and when I've gone to play it there isn't any wah, it just sounds cocked and virtually no sensitivity at all.
I've tried it with a Daisy chained TU-2 and with a 9V battery and also messed with the internal trimpot with no success.
thanks

Wow, that's a VERY old pedal. Super cool!
I'll assume you have tried playing with the sensitivity control with no result?
If so, it Sounds like it might need looking at. NZ Rockshop are the NZ BOSS representatives. Take your pedal in to them and they can get it sent to the Music NZ service centre who have all the old BOSS schematics etc.

Re: Boss TW-1 Touch Wah Issues.
Do you know what the trim pot controls?
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Re: Boss TW-1 Touch Wah Issues.
Not precisely no. It's not intended to be user-adjustable. It's a factory-calibration trimpot.mrmofo wrote:Do you know what the trim pot controls?

Re: Boss TW-1 Touch Wah Issues.
That's what I thought. Trim pots like these should be left well alone in my experience.
