The inductor does not look like a Cry baby inductor at all. Neither like a Vox or something else. But it's an inductor, not doubt, and indicates this is indeed a wah.
Some transistors, speed and Depth, yep, this is an autowah.
Maybe the sweep is just in the trebles, so it seems like a phaser. That makes sens.
On the video, yep, it is an autowah, and not the worse I ever heard. Just like an AW-2 or something else. What's the matter in fact ? Of course it's special... but well...
For me, it's just that you don't like autowahs. 
As one just sold for 150$... I wouldn't be interested to buy this for this price, but as I said before, I like old crap, so if you ever want to sell this for a reasonnable price, think about me ! |

I wonder if there's a "stop tone sucking" mod on the net somewhere for this? 
Honestly, Basstyra, I don't think I'll be selling it anytime soom. It has some odd sentimental value (the dude I got it from married a Japanese girl and now lives across the ocean). And I never said I didn't like it - I did say it was terrible and silly, but in musical terms those aren't always bad things... 
I'm just straining to find some place to use it... |

You, of course ! 
" is a toroidal inductor, which you'd typically see in something like a Cry Baby pedal."
But I'm playing with words...

People who love silly stuff aren't quite common, the way you speak of that really made me think you were disgusted by this. Sorry for my insistence. |

Oh come on... 
People that love silly stuff are pretty common, I thought...
No worries, Basstyra, I guess I did sound rather irritated at this little device, but honestly, it's soooo bad, it's kinda cool. |

You misunderstood. The sentence states that there is an inductor in the Vibra-Wah circuit and that it is toroidal, and that an similar type of inductance is also used in the Vox and Thomas Organ circuits.
Since it had also crossed my mind, I could have mentioned for comparison the midrange circuit in Magnavox-era Ampeg amplifiers, such as the V-4B, which also use an inductor -- which is toroidal, by the way -- but I thought that the wah pedal would be more germane to the discussion here.
There was a reason I used the word "typically" in the sentence -- it suggests that something is part of a group or class of similar things, that being inductors in this case. "Looks like" is your wording, not mine.
While we're on the subject, though, some Fasel inductors used in wah pedals are toroidal, but not all:

But since you clearly know more about these sorts of things than I do, I'll let you handle the discussion from now on.

What's the problem here ? There's no use to be bitter like this. I may have misunderstand you, why not. But isn't it clear, when I say I play with words, that this is nothing serious ?
I'm not posting on forums to fight, or to have the last word. There really is no point in that. We don't really argue on the inductor, here, we both know about it. It was more a discussion on the words, maybe just because it's interesting, sometimes, to argue about this. Especially since english is not my mothertongue.
For me, "which" refers to "inductor", which is qualified "toroidal". "Which" is, therefore, a "toroidal inductor". This is not your opinion, well that's right !
Peace. |

Uh oh. I'm guessing I shouldn't take a pic of the trace side now...
Don't worry, guys. Misunderstandings aside, I greatly appreciate all of your input on the topic. If anything elses comes to mind, please let me know! |

AHED - what the heck is this?
