Nope, I don't mod. I need to learn how.

Anyways, my Whammy stopped working on me. I unplugged it's power supply while it was on (dumb move I know) when I was trying to figure out why it didn't work with a pedalboard power supply I bought. Anyways, it worked after that, but the expression pedal (Not sure if that's the right term, but I dunno what else to call it) is fucked. I can rock it all the way forward, but the sound from the pedal won't go up all the way, so it won't go the full 2 octaves or whatever setting it's at. It'll go to some random tone in between. Any idea what's up with it.
Also, rig. I don't run through the Whammy (obviously) or the wah anymore, a Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster's been added, and the pedals aren't on that board anymore.

You just need to calibrate the whammy. There is nothing wrong with it.
Unplug it from the power. Press and hold the footswitch, then plug the power in. Keep holding the footswitch until the status light stops blinking. Then rock the treadle (thats what the expression part is called) back and forth. This sets the range on it.
Do that and you should be ready to go.
Also, I have a VP-1. Great clone, but the bypass was almost as bad as the whammy's bypass. But after I TB'd it it was much better.
RC2 is great too, but having a footswitch thats bigger than the real pedal is is ridiculous.
You should do the footswitch mod to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU8daIYOTeY .

Tried that, and something weird is happening. Everytime I do, rocking the treadle (thanks for giving me the proper name lol i'm a pedal n00b) does what the knob does: lights up the lights for the modes. I'm doing it wrong, aren't I.

It's pretty good, but the bad thing is I turned down an old Boss CE-2 for it. I was 13 and was like "COOL THIS THING MAKES WHOOSHY NOISES HOW MUCH." I've seen a CE-2 at another place though (one that sells Z.Vex too w00t), could replace my CE-5...

I agree with that, mod looks neat.
Looked up a video of the Gristleizer, holy shit (even if I'm not a big TG fan), that's awesome. Also, I decided to put my wah before the Muff today, and I'm keeping it on my board for sure now. I got some neat sounds out of it. Also, sorry for tl;dr post.
boneykingofnowhere:
Can anyone recommend a good analog delay pedal? I've got my eye on a Tech 21 Boost D.L.A. on ebay and a couple of Carbon Copies, but I was wondering if anyone knew of something better in the same price range.
