start here first with tryin' to get
some help regarding this particular
FX pedal. Who is the MFG..? Any
idea as to when it was mfg'd..?
Possible value maybe..?

Looks like a rebadged MXR pedal to me.

Thank you gents!

"Don't expect anything amazing, Just trying to get
it to sound good..."


ahem... Good luck! The pedal is rediculous and
incredibly unstable. .02

Thanks so much for the help!!
 
I dug out the Memphis autowah again and decided i wanted to
take a better look at what was going on with it. A little unstable
for me to begin with..? I took it apart and went thru it with the
ol' contact cleaner and could see right quick the shift pot was
not functioning right at all. The pots, "intensity" and "shift" are
the mini 500k type and the the shift pot stem is broken internally.
Basically it pulls up and isn't connected anymore to rotate from
minimum to maximum.

I was curious if given it's age, etc Would I be better off to leave
it alone, (In the mix on a pending trade), Or locate as close to the
original pot as I can and go ahead and replace it? According to
a couple folks I've checked with, It holds a decent value and seems
to be kind of sought after given MIJ(?) vintage pedals now.
Wasn't able to get a good clear pic of the pot... Identified with
this info; D, S(within a circle), B-500k, V
Thanks for any thoughts,Suggestions
Here's a couple shots of the pcb
