to my untrained eyes it definitely looks like a fuzzy-wah (fuzz always active) and not just one or the other... but :idunno:

this one is like the other early colorsound fuzz wahs where you get either wah or fuzz wah and no bypassed sound

practical!

Scored another one of these things! I love it when sellers assume that their vintage pedal is broken, and it ends up being cheap because nobody realises that the pedal is just a victim of terrible design choices :badteeth:

I think this one is a bit earlier than the previous one in this thread, because it appears to have the same Iskra 10nF & Ei Nis 50µF caps that were used in the last of the MKII's. Sola Sound Wow Fuzzes were demonstrated at the BMII trade show in August 1968, so I'd wager that this pedal was probably also built during that year.
