The Fuzz Wah pedal seems to be sticking and the sound is stuck on one frequency so not getting the wah sweep. I am taking it to pieces the green and yellow wire at the top of the pedal is only attached at the spade and not the solder end and the mechanism appears to be sticking at the string spindle at the front end.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank Joe

Welcome to the forum Joe. I would suggest you repost this in the Pickups and accessories forum as well. I do know the fuzzwah has a mechanical string, spring, pulley system and if any of those parts are not functioning correctly you will not get the wah sweep. I don't know enough about the electronics but if a wire looks like it should be soldered or is broken off of a solder joint that would be good place to solder it back. Good luck hope you get some better answers. :)

These are mechanical electronics. What was said about the string is true. Your best bet is to get someone who knows exactly how to fix it to do it. I bought two of them in the early 70's and both broke. I switched to a Fender Blender after that.

I had one before I bought the huge cast aluminum version. The string came loose on it but it took a few years. It was a pretty weird setup.
