Hey all,
Recently started trying to buff up my pedal housings... after years of Raco minimalism. I purchased some clear decal transfer sheets from Micro Mark & got to work. I've found it works great for smaller decals (range master) & labeling controls... but for larger transfers (Neo) it's a little tougher. Once you get past a certain size the edges will start to fold over as you slide the decal off it's backing. Since I've only been using it for a short time I was wondering if anyone had any...

I got the first act delay in store at a toys are us for 30 bux, did the clay jones mods
(
and the thing sounds great! so good in fact it piqued interest in the chorus.

I just found and bought the chorus at toys r us.com for $16 total!!!!! thats right 14.98 with free shipping!!

hopefully this one can be modded for better operation also!

act fast offer good until jan 3 2009.

Is this possible in the vain of the Keeley Katana? Just a little dirt if needed.....

Hello, I`m new here.
If I posted this in the wrong topic please excuse me.
My question is, can I mod something to get t-rex mudoney sound? To me it sounds like a rat that would be called Mr. Rat if you know what I mean. I`ve just modded my boss ds-1 to sound pretty close to my turbo rat with the Lm308 in it, can I further mod it to sound like mudhoney? also the mudhoney has a fat boost or something like that. Doable?

Can anyone help me with this pedal?Really nice tremolo,but with classic tremolo problem,a volume drop when engaged.
Thank you!

Is there any mxr phase 100 reissue mods?I've been searching all over the internet and haven't found nothing really solid.I've opened the pedal and found a small trimpot inside,well that's a start.
If somebody knows something,please post it!
Thanx!

It´s really amusing which BS people write together to make money - here you go:

TS10 Tube Screamer Mod Kit

There are several things that sets this kit apart from all the others. First and foremost are the instructions; they are top notch with both a VIDEO as well as a PDF ~ both are complete containing a set of detailed yet concise instructions to complete this Mod is about 30 minutes. The PDF has step by step color photo's so that, even if you've never soldered before, or are not...

I'm fairly happy with the BDI21 clone, but just like the original it's got a severe midscoop (almost notch-like) at 725hz. Is there any way to tweak the amount of dip, or remove it altogether without adding too many components?

My Ibanez chorus just doesnt go fast enough for faux leslie . I do think its a great sounding chorus otherwise.

Anyone ever mod one to have a faster rate?

BTW: I messed with the internal trim pots and it didnt change the rate.

Thanks!

I have an SD-1 that I have been playing around with and it is getting closer to what I want, but I am wondering if there is a way to pull some mids out of it? Here is what I have done to it so far, a bit of a mish-mash of mods.

-D4 and D6 changed to 3mm led - D6 is about 1.5v, D4 is about 1.8v.
-removed D3 and R31, jumpered across them.
-C2 and C3 changed to 0.1uF
-R2 changed to 680k
-C6 lowered to .005uF

If I run an eq pedal after the SD-1 and drop 800 Hz -6 dB and 1.6 kHz -3 dB, it is...

Here is another contribution. The HM100(boss metal zone clone) is turn into a versatile hi gain pedal.If im not wrong boston HM100 has the same circuit with the hm100 of beta aivin, GTX, GLX, Harley Benton, Groovin' HM-300 Heavy Metal, WSL UD-100 Universal Distortion, etc.( I don't know whats next,he,he,he).

For Boston HM100, here are the mods,

Remove C6 and C18 ( .01uf and .0015uf)
Change C16(.047uf) to 1uf (if you use polarized capacitor like electrolytic the negative (-) part is in foil...

Is it possible to mod the std Boss DS-1 into a metal sounding pedal for metallica type music. Also for pinch harmonics. Will be running through an epi valve junior V3 which has been bitmo trio moded.

Thanks. Im a newbee so i need lots of help. :roll:

So I have a MXR distortion+ pedal that I bought as project (it was really cheap) and now that I have modded it and had my fun (and still don't like it) I want to try something different.

I read somewhere that the circuit is very similar and can be changed over so that it works just like the MXR MicroAmp. Anyone know how to do this? Can I still use the same curcuit board? I have wanted a nice boost pedal and if I can make one I would rather do that.

Thanks!!

I just did this for a local dude. Behringer PCBs are a pain in the ass, but it turned out well. With berhinger, i recommend keeping the desoldering to a minimum. The UV300 vibrato goes into the sch-z chorus or is bypassed with the switch, even when there was little to no difference between buffer and bypass. He wanted the latch/unlatch mod left on. I think it's a huge improvement over the plastic enclosures.

I wondered if anyone had a gut shot or schematic of Analogman's external Midrange Mod to the DS-1. I'd like to experiment with it a bit.

Thanks

This compressor surprised me quite a bit because i was even expecting much.
I got 8 danelectro's from craigslist for $70 cash; pretty sweet deal.
I reversed the pedal, and the schematic is here. As you can see, the essence is a dyna ross but has some differences also.

All you have to do is remove the switching circuit and get what is shown on the schematic. Take either R8 or R9 out. The switching is set up in such a way that you can literally hack away the non essential part with a dremel....

I love pimping the french toast. A very underrated foxx tone machine clone.

thought i'd share - i built a V846/clyde clone recently, looked for a wah enclosure everywhere (smallbear were out of stock..) and came across this - pewaves wah .
very well-made enclosure (pimpish chrome even), costs the same as smallbear's empty shell, and comes with a wah innards..
the wah itself is a straight-off crybaby ripoff, but the board seems better made then my old dunlop crybaby...
metal film resistors & (polly?) film caps.
the pot is 100k, not top of the line, but oh well :)

I really like mine, but I'd like to change it just a little bit... First I'd like to make it less compressed, more dynamic. Then I'd like to add a little more of a fuzzy bass, more uhmf if yo like, but not much. I see a lot of mods smoothing it out, but I don't want that. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey guys. I'm new to the forum and have a couple of questions. I've searched the forums quite a bit and come up empty every time.

I am a long time DOD fan and a few of their pedals are key to my sound when I play guitar. The only problem I have with these pedals is the switching. What I'd like to do is rehouse some of my favorites into nice solid enclosures with no plastic parts and use a standard stomp switch instead of the tiny pcb microswitch that's in there currently. I don't really know...

Hi,

Ah, so I got this Danelectro Black Coffee.

Great fun to play but I could use about 20dB less of gain like adjusting my volume control to 6 on my strat and 2 on the Lespaulös and with my amplifiers and the sounds I'd set I could only set the Treble control on zero

Hm, just seeing what I'd like let's have a little journey through the circuit:

OK well first in line comes a filter that humps mids- much fun to play....then an amplifier with heavy gain and a clamping set of silicon...

First off - thanks for the feed from ebay! That is awesome. Thanks to that I won a subj. pedal today.
Wonder if anyone has a schem for it.

Thanks!

Well, I have this unit I hadn't used for a while. It has some cool effects, I like the flanger, reverb, pitch, and some envelope filters that are sweet. The thing is, this sucker's a tone-sucker. Whether it's on bypass position or not. I need to built a TB-loop to make it True-Bypass, but the problem is that I think that it also sucks tone when on. The sound is weaker, duller, and lacks the creaminess of my humbuckers.
Are there any ways to mod this thing?

Hi everyone,
This is my first post, so I would also like to say hello!

I'm new here, but not new to building things. Here are some of the pedals I have built with sound samples.
I need to update that page with all this stuff...
I have also built some rack gear, like the Gyraf G9 tube mic pre

the Gyraf G9 buss compressor

I'm partway through building an Mnates 2-1176

I just finished wiring up a Calrec EQ, and I'm about 2 hours away from finishing my Soundlabs Minisynth

I could keep...

Here is the first attack (from the chinese ?) on Behringer´s low-cost prices:

New-Distortion-Sound-Effect-pedal-for-Electric-Guitars

A distortion unit for about $ 20,-- with belt-clip AND 3m guitar-cable. :!: :shock:

I need to see some guts... hope the case is not glued together.... maybe the case, jacks pots and knobs are usable for something better? A replacement board maybe ?
