I've decided to fix my Wah wah on my pedalboard wood with screws. So I've misured the holes distance, drilled four holes, bought 4 long screws measured with an eye shot and discovered that the screw had different measures of the italians! $%&�?* (add the bad word you desire in place of it) that kind of screws has half, quarter and so on and here are called english or american screws.
After a long search I didn't find it anywhere and I won't spend dunno how many money for postal spedition for few cents of the effective cost of the screws, I've bring the wah wah to the man who redone the screw spiral (in italian is called "tornitore", dunno in english).
I've remounted all the components and finally fixed the wah on p.b., but now I feel it a bit hard to swiwell with my foot, so I had remember that there was a sort of white grease where's the knob. I've asked to the tools saler and he told me that it's lithium (Yeah, after years from the chemical lessons during the school days, now I know what lithium needs), a BIG jar of lithium it doesn't costs so much, but I need a very small portion and the rest it will be wasted.
So I've asked to a mechanic friend of mine and he told me: "Yeah, after years from the chemical lessons during the school days, now I know what lithium needs"  and then he add that maybe chain grease for the motorcycle could it be good anyway. It's true? |

Usually the work that grease used for mechanical should do! |

I don't know about the grease for the pot but i fix all my pedals onto my 'board with velcro and they seem fine..i glued some old carpet tiles onto the board and put the rough part of the velcro strip onto the pedals with a bit of superglue including the dunlop wah.... and i gig every weekend so this 'board gets thrown around quite a bit including rehearsing once a week....

Hi Franzoni (it's your surname? It's italian!),
I swear God that velcro cames in Italy too, the prove it's in the picture of my p.b. in the "Gadget discussion":
Yours is pure and simple moquette with vertical stripes that could fit not quite firmly the pedals.
Another news to say is that in the music shops (not only) you can find the rough velcro already glued, you have just use the scissor to cut the parts needing to fit under the pedals.
Perhaps, I paste just little portions of this adesival stripe 'cause could be damaging for the serial number or other parts of the pedal. It's happened to me that the laminated s.n. of the DD3 ripped out together the adesival stripe. 
Different speech about Cry Baby: it has those 4 little rubbers with screws inside that keep fixed the metallic slab. Without it there's no way to use adesival stripe. It's one of the pedals used very phisically not just on/off, so I've considered to fix it very strong! |
