I was having trouble liking the wah pedal feature on the FCB pedal as those that have it will know how loose and sloppy it feels. Problem solved. While at work the other day I saw a strut nut with a spring on it and thought maybe that would work as a good tension for the wah. Tried it and it was great except the pedal didn't go all the way down so I took the base of the strut nut (not sure that's the technical term) and took the base to a grinder and then put it on the and viola! perfect. Just attach with some Velcro and your good to go! Hope this helps anyone that has found theirs to be a problem. Still not interested in paying $600 for the remote and this just made the Behringer even sweeter!
How to upgrade the Behringer FCB Wah pedal

Very cool! The pedals were the one reason I hated the FCB1010, it felt like a kids toy not a pedal. Problem solved!

Nicely done... Thought about doing this very thing but could not find anything like what you have here readily available. Perhaps you could indicate where these come from or might be found for the benefit of others..... I have cut off both pedals completely and wired in trs jacks thanks to a suggestion by forum member lokasenna. I now use actual expression pedals. (dvp3) another option, but requires a lot more modding and of course expense of pedals..

They are used to brace pipes to a strut. Can find them at a hardware store perhaps, but most likely Fastenal stores for United States. Not sure about across the pond.Here is one on eBay.

Commonly called "spring nuts" here in Canada. I've got a few dozen in my toolbox that have, um, "accidentally" come home with me from work.
