im kinda confused about what you mean. the way a pretty ordinary wah pedal works is that the pedal is attached to a toothed thingy, which is attached to the pot. a pot, or potentiometer, is basically a metal shaft inside a shell which applies different resistance depending on how far you turn it. what you could have heard is if you put a different value pot, you could have a wider, or narrower, wah sound. i dont think this depends on the pot value, but i dont have a lot of experience with wah pedal circuitry, so i really dont know. anyways, the pot is the thing the wires are connected to which resides in the middle of the pedal. you probably want to post this in stompboxes. there are definatly more knowledgable people out there than myself.
