Any reviews on this baby? I got it from my last trip to the Phillipine Islands. Can it be modded to obtain the brown sound heard on Early Van Halen's records? It has an additional Middle and Frequency Knob as you can see

You own one, post in the Boutique Stompboxes dissected... subforum but did not dissect your unit...

Time to crack it up!

Otherwise your request would end in the request folder...

I try to open it yesterday and found out that the input and output jacks are soldered to the pc board. Useless, mass prodution indeed and made in China.

a) try harder. I miss the gutshots so far. I don't see where those jacks have fit into the equasion
b) Mass produced and China.. fine. Useless.. why??

So,
I sense a lot of standard unfounded TGP mojo talk here. Please elaborate.

And no! This is not boutique indeed but mods, please leave it here since the build quality level probably exceeds the average 2010 boohteek level.

the original manufacturer is beta aivin, it is rebranded in the philippines as boston (JB music store) and gtx.

and yes it is an MT2 clone, I have the HM-100 version of this pedal.
