Possibly, but not straightforward as both ends of the inductor are active, whereas most simulated inductors have one end grounded.</div>

As an alternative, wouldn't it be possible to use switch mode DC supplies into the other pedals ? The rectifier circuits in most will just pass the DC to the smoothing capacitors in the correct polarity so you just need to measure what the voltage is on that
capacitor to choose the switchmode voltage for each pedal.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hi list,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I have a guitar pedal board that uses 8 pedals.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The first pedal (receiving the guitar) is a Jim Dunlop Cry Baby Wah-Wah.<br>
The following pedal is a switchable overdrive with high gain.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Then the pedal chain goes on with 6 other pedals to a final tuner that drives a guitar amplifier. Ok.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">4 of these pedals are powered with there separate AC supplies (9VAC, 9VAC, 7.5VAC & 22VAC).</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The other pedals are powered using 9VDC standard BOSS supplies.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Here is my problem :</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Since the Wah-Wah is connected at the ‘head’ of the pedal chain and uses an internal 500mH inductor in its circuit<br>
it acts like the secondary of a transformer picking up 60Hz</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">from all the nearby transformers of the board.<br>
I had to unsolder the inductor from the inside PCB and,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">using short lenghts of wires connected to it … place it in the Wah-Wah housing<br>
at a ‘specific’ place and angle to get the less 60Hz pickup.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">This is annoying.. </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Now I can play with a little back ground hum when the Wah-Wah is activated..<br>
I was wondering if I could use an active inductor simulator circuit</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">In place of the 500mH passive inductor.. (??)</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Feasable ??</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Here is the Jim Dunlop Wah-Wah schematic : </p>
