Default Vox Wah Wah Problem

Can anyone tell me how to reduce or even stop my Vox Wah from picking up radio stations? I've recently added a TrueBypass mod which I hoped may sort the problem out, didn't work. Thought it might just be my practise amp being cheap but I get the same response when I'm in the studio on a Marshall stack.

Any suggestions?

That sounds like a shielding problem. I've heard that you can prevent interference on guitar pickups by lining the area around the pickups with foil tape. This might work with pedals too but I've never tried it.

Do a search for this at diystompboxes.com

I have heard of this happening and I know theres a component change to easily fix the problem at a low price.
