I've got an old broken wah pedal that I'll probably try to convert to an expression pedal. Am I right in thinking I just need a TRS jack and a replacement pot?
What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

Yeah, expression pedals are usually just a 10k linear pot connected to a stereo jack.

If they are passive, they need to be the either 250 or 500k like the volume pot in the guitar.

You are thinking volume pedals. Expression pedals are traditionally 10K linear.

D'oh! You're right; I was mistaken. I thought he asked about a volume pedal and not an expression pedal.

Whoaaa No Way!!!
Upgraded the hardware on my daughter's drum set to DW 5000. Now she can play double bass! Also, I added the Tandem Drops for muffling because moon gels always just turn into a goopy mess.

Bought an SD Alt metal set for my pink jazzmaster I'm putting together.
And now have stuff on order for two relic HSS floyd strats... doing a tribute to Holmes' Fork (including Jackson USA J-80 in the bridge) guitar and a candy apple red relic CS RTM hum and quarter pounder singles.
Now in the waiting game for parts to come in, finishing to be completed, etc etc etc I am guessing the strats won't be done until sometime early next year and should have the 2 sparkles back from finish around the end of September.
That should be it for the year
Might rebuild my Cameron Jose build into an actual Jose circuit but undecided on that one yet.

The Fork seems similar to the Henrik Danhage sig. Is it Fork based?And now have stuff on order for two relic HSS floyd strats... doing a tribute to Holmes' Fork (including Jackson USA J-80 in the bridge) guitar and a candy apple red relic CS RTM hum and quarter pounder singles.

Not that I'm aware of. They're both just guitars the respective guitarists have played for years.

Picking up a Bogner Twinjet later today. I absolutely do not need another amp in my life right now but the price is the lowest I've ever seen for the TJ and I really want to compare it against my Rev Blue Uber.

Im probably gonna be in the partscaster realm too soon lol. Wanna get that hardtail reverse headstock Strat idea done one day. Just wanna see if I can find a 1 11/16''+ wide off the shelf neck before I have to dive into Warmoth or anyone else.And now have stuff on order for two relic HSS floyd strats... doing a tribute to Holmes' Fork (including Jackson USA J-80 in the bridge) guitar and a candy apple red relic CS RTM hum and quarter pounder singles.

Jack and pot are on the way, so I'll let you know how it goes
I'm moving and going to be moving to digital and this just flashed through my mind. I know there are wah replacement boards you can just buy and drop in, so figured there might be the same for expression. Then I took a look and it's a whole lot simpler!

Broken wahs are always worth something for the shell. Those shells are hard to come by.

Yeah, I put a Pedal PCB Tearjerker board in my old Crybaby. Nice tweakable Wah board to work with.Jack and pot are on the way, so I'll let you know how it goes

For expression, you literally just need the 3 lugs on the pot to go to the 3 lugs on the stereo jack, lol. Only way you can really screw it up is to do it backwards.

Got a line on a Peavey Stereo Chorus 400 and a Peavey Heritage VTX, both in what look to be immaculate condition. 600 USD for the pair. I'll be driving down to check them out in a couple weeks.

Dunlop even sells a reasonably replacement boards for the GCB-95. Even that is a great offering just to have available. It was probably you or JazzHands that put the idea in my head.
