    Rare, vintage 1971 Shin-Ei FW939 "National" fuzz wah pedal in very good, working condition. This legendary, highly sought after pedal is from the estate of a late musician. This pedal was professionally modified some times ago to utilize the full travel of the rack & pinion mechanism. Instead of using noticeable portion of full travel for operating the wah on/off switch below the pedal, the switch was relocated next to the fuzz switch. That trick instantly extended the sweep of the wah pedal by approximately 25%. Please note, the relocated switch (for unknown reason) doesn't match the original fuzz switch. I've made a far from professional 1.5 minute demo video to give some idea about the potentials of this amazing effect pedal.
