Since I live in Costa Rica, I was wanting to ask all of you if you know of any pedal tech, that could fix my WH10V2, that lives in the US that you've heard marvels from or that you have had experience with. I've heard of Dirk-Hendrik, but he lives in the Netherlands and it's extremely expensive for me to send my WH10V2 over there so it would be very unpractical. If anyone knows what the equivalent of Dirk-Hendrik is in the US so that he can fix my pedal and add a true-bypass switch to it, please let me know since I'm desperate to get my pedal working again!

Thanks!

if you have ANY knowledge of soldering i'm sure someone could help you do this yourself. You dont have to be a pedal tech to install a true bypass switch. Someone in the wh-10v2 thread knew something about it, ask them!

I would obviously try to TB it myself but the problem goes further than this. My wah is crackling again and I don't want to
buy another one again, I prefer to have the recent one fixed because a new one will surely break after some time.

My WH10v2 never broke :P .. I would buy a new one instead and hope that you don't get a bad one this time.. I think a tech is more expensive than a new pedal :P .... Hmm Maybe Robert Keeley can :P

Thanks! I just emailed the guy to see how much it would cost. I found others over the internet and I emailed them too to see what they offered. I would buy another pedal, but living here in Costa Rica and all I prefer to just fix it and that I'm sure it'll work, because if not I'll have to send it back and pay the shipping and it's all really annoying and expensive.

No luck yet with a techie in the US. My only option still is Dirk_Hendrik and it'll cost me loads to be able to send it there and repair it. By any chance any of you here in the forum is able to fix the pot? If not I'll have to look in my country for a pedal tech guy, who are very rare and I'm sure they wouldn't use original parts of the pedal.
