fasel inductor is going to run you $18 pretty much anywhere you go...
a carling 2pdt is $2-4.
effectsconnection has the best prices on the switch but the fasel is $1 more.
pedalpartsplus has green or yellow fasel for $18 but the switch is a few bucks more.
cheers,

Why not find a used "stack of dimes" Fasel inductor ? The red one a simply an attempted recreation of the original. I still see the old ones around, unfortunately mostly on Ebay. But, I'm pretty sure it would still be an easy find on the internet.

I already have the stack of dimes and it sounds like sh*t.

Odd, I have a Thomas Organ CryBaby from the 70s, sounds great.

True, effects are pretty much a matter of taste. I will admit to being very partial to older pedals. For me, they seem to be the only way to accurately capture those tones I loved so much growing up. I will admit I won't put more than 4 chained together, for obvious reasons.

I have a 70's thomas organ crybaby wah and I love it too... I think it's not just a matter of taste, some things sound great on amp a while they sound horrible on amp b.

Yes, I've noticed the old Univox amp in my profile picture, will often sound great when used with older guitars and pedals. But tends to sound not so good with more modern stuff plugged in it. It also seems to like single coils better than humbuckers. My old Traynor Reverb Master was the opposite, it really loved the humbuckers, got kind of hissy with the single coils. Fortunately my main guitar (also in pic) has phase switches, so I just leave them on the single coil setting for the Univox.
