I did the R2 mod where you remove the resistor and replace with a jumper wire ! Sound great and almost double the speed !

Re: MXR Custom Badass '78 Distortion [schematic]

I just compared my Badass 78 to my Keeley Ultra Boss DS-1 and there almost identical but the Badass 78 has more clarity ! The MXR Badass 78 is a winner !

But only the CMOS parts get the 18VDC from the adapter. The audio in the circuit gets its power from the 15V regulator inside. And A+ is kinda filtered with the RC network, isn't it?
