how to make a cheap pyle pro wah not suck (tone)

hi folks, for this instructable, i'm gonna tell you how to improve a cheap pyle pro wah and convert it to true bypass.
it's wicked easy, so easy i'm not even going to post pictures of it as i go.
you can get these cheap wahs on ebay, amazon, heck, a lot of places...just google 'em. i got the one here i just worked on off amazon for $23.90, shipped. i needed a cheap wah casing for another project, but until i get to that, i figured i'd mess with it a little bit.
so...ready? here we go....

Step 1 What you need...

ok, what you'll need for this...
the cheap pyle pro wah, model PPDLW1 (btw, you can pretty much do this with any crybaby style wah...tho you may need to install a dpdt heavy duty stompswitch....you can get them all over the net, pretty cheap...i reccomend http://diystompboxes.com, small bear electronics, or ebay if you're as cheap as i am..lol)

about an inch of wire...just enough to connect two poles of the already onboard DPDT footswitch

a soldering iron...20-30 watts, these switches melt fast, so you don't want to get them too hot!!!

a little good rosin core ELECTRONICS solder...don't use plumbing solder, the better quality solder, the better!!

a phillips head screwdriver

a pair of wire cutters

and a wire stripper.

a guitar, amp, and two patch cords..

and finally, about 5 minutes of time!!

;)
