The Fasel inductor is an electronic component inside the Wah Wah pedal that gives that real cool low end growl and wide sweeping depth to the Wah as heard in Hendrix's "Rainy Day, Dream Away". The Wah with the non-Fasel inductor sounds fine... until you hear a Wah with the Fasel inductor. Sadly the non-Fasel Wah pedal simply does not have the same growl and intensity as the Fasel Wah Wah pedal. I have both and tested them side by side. I'm trying to determine if my 1970s pedals have the Fasel or not.
There are many uses of a capacitor in a radio...Combined with a resistor or inductor as part of a tuned circuit or filter.Used between stages of amplification or processing where DC bias needs to be removed.Used in the power supply to create stable DC.
Yes. You can hear the movement caused by the agitation of electrons and the effects of fluctuating magnetic fields like a humming noise, especially in inductor coils. When electricity arcs it also cracks as it breaks the sound barrier through air. Thunder & Lightning!
AFC was used to provide an electronic means to stabilize the frequency of a circuit. Older receivers and transmitters used a tank circuit, made of an inductor and capacitor to select frequency. Since both the inductor and capacitor are physical objects, their sizes and properties vary with temperature, humidity, age and other factors. Also to be able to tune the frequency, at least one of them had to be deliberately made to be mechanically alterable to change it's electrical properties. These factors caused the frequency to slowly drift over time. Also, the tuning was usually accomplished in a continuously variable way, so it was difficult to confirm an exact tuning to the station which could lead to loss of sensitivity or distortion of the signal. AFC used electronic feedback to fine tune the tank circuit by a (usually) electrically tuned component. Modern radio equipment tends to use a quartz crystal oscillator of a fixed frequency as a reference. Quartz crystals can easily be made stable in frequency to 50 parts per million. This is sufficiently accurate to not need to compare it with the frequency of the incoming signal, itself derived from a stable crystal source. The radio is usually tuned by a frequency synthesizer controlled by the crystal. Both AFC and the frequency synthesizer method use an electrically tuned variable frequency oscillator to tune the radio. The difference is that AFC used characteristics of the received signal to measure and correct the mistuning, while frequency synthesizers compare the tuning with crystal reference. AFC cannot find the frequency you desire to tune, it only fine tunes it once you select it. The frequency synthesizer accurately tunes the radio to whatever frequency you ask it.
Have it repaired. Most likely the pot. If the signal is going through it is about the only other thing besides the inductor that would cause that. Since the pot is used constantly it is where I would start. Bad battery or power supply and it would not work when stomped. The by-pass (stomp) switch could be at fault, but you would have intermittant problems.-----------------------ok if it is a wah like the one i used then u have to push it down and bring it up when you hit a note----------
-- Construct an antenna. Hang a long piece of wire outside between any two convenient supports, such as the house, the garage, trees, etc. Bring one end of the wire inside. -- Wind a great length of fine, insulated wire around a pencil. Connect one end of the coil to the inside end of the antenna. Connect the other end of the coil to a cold-water pipe. -- Connect one end of a small germanium diode to the point where the coil and the antenna join. -- Connect one end of an earphone or a pair of ear-buds to a cold-water pipe. -- Connect the free end of the earphone to the free end of the diode. If you happen to have wound the right amount of wire onto the pencil, then you'll hear the nearest 2 or 3 local AM radio stations faintly in the earphone. If you hear nothing, then it's likely that you stopped winding the coil too soon. That's an AM radio . . . 1 antenna, 1 inductor (coil), 1 diode, 1 earphone. All the rest is commentary and enhancements. For example: You want to be able to pick out one station at a time ? You want to hear more than just the few strongest stations in town ? You want to play them through a loudspeaker ? You want a built-in antenna ? You want FM too ? You want a picture to go along with the sound ? You want to use it to pick up GPS and make phone calls too ? Those are all easy enough, but you'll have to use more parts.

what is an inductor used for
Since we know that inductance of an inductor depends on the length of inductor by the formula L=muAN*N/l, where l is the length of inductor. So by varying the length of inductor we say that inductance of inductor varies.
In an ideal inductor, no, there is no voltage induced across an inductor unless the current in the inductor is changing. However, since there are no ideal inductors nor power supplies, eventually an inductor will draw a constant current, i.e. the limit of the power supply; and, since no inductor has zero ohms at equilibrium, that current will translate to voltage.
any conductor wound with few turns can be considered as an inductor
An inductor looks like a piece of wire to DC. It will thus look like a resistor, and inductor properties do not apply.
A changing current through an inductor induces a voltage into the inductor, the direction of which always opposes the change in that current.So, in a d.c. circuit, an inductor will oppose (not prevent) any rise or fall in current, although the magnitude of that current will be determined by the resistance of that inductor, not by its inductance.In an a.c. circuit, because the current is continuously changing both in magnitude and in direction, it acts to continuously oppose the current due to its inductive reactance. Inductive reactance is proportional to the inductance of the inductor and the frequency of the supply. The vector sum of the inductive reactance of the inductor and the resistance of the inductor, is termed the impedance of the inductor. Inductive reactance, resistance, and impedance are each measured in ohms.
