Another part should be modification: on ebay you can buy really cheap pedals. For example this week I bought a Ken-Multi/monarch Distortion for Eur 8,50 plus shipment. This boxes are not so bad. For example the PSK SDS-2, SDS-3 or SDS-5 (seems to be now the roque SDS-5 can be easily be modified to be a Rat. They put in this unit since years a 470 Ohm instead of the 47 Ohm resistor in the...
If so, was it worth modding or did it still sound thin and like a razor blade stabbing your ears ? Im thinking of modding mine and I have never tried modding a pedal so im curious if its worth doing
I sure don't quite understand how to remove the buffers and switching system. It would be cool to build a clone and tweak it. This was always a cool design.
i was made the c22 mod with a ceramic capacitor 220 pf (221) change the clipping with 2 1n4001 and one len red (stock), maybe i'll change these led to another 1n4001 (any sugestion? ) .
afret that i'm thinking to change 3 components in these pedal
I recently bought a Arion Sch-z and love that pedal since then!!
The only problem is that it adds a lot of bass to the mix and I can't get it out with the Tone knob.
'Found the schematic here on the board:
Does somebody have ideas on how to get rid off that bass boost??
Or are there already some mods for that problem?
Well I suppose we had better start by listing all the cheap TSs and everything that is make-able out of them...
A bit later I'll list the Landgraff parts changes. Bit busy now
Long story short, I will try the mod suggested by Brian Wampler on he's youtube channel and turn it into a Tubescreamer with parametric Eq.
The first preEq stage will become a buffer, the hard clipping section will become a soft clipping one and the next fixed Eq stage will be rewired to become a tone control.
Now, I would like to invert the order of the Tubescreamer circuit and the parametric Eq. I want to have it this way:
Picking up a cheap Behringer fcv100 volume pedal next week. I'm familiar with Behringer, and I know what sort of quality (or lack thereof) I can expect... It seemed like it could be a fun pedal to pimp out. Anybody have any experience with these? Any mod ideas?
Hello, this is my first post and I hope I am posting in the correct section. I have a Vox 847 wah that I got fairly cheap, and it had this Castledine board installed. It works, and sounds good, but a couple of things I would like to change.
The first thing is making it true bypass. I have an appropriate switch (Dunlop ECB035 DPDT, not pictured) for doing it, but I don't know how to attach it properly to this board.
Second thing is that I would like to add a dc power port. It looks to me...
Hi everyone,
I've purchased an old GE-7 Boss eq and I'd like to mod it a little bit.
My version is the new pcb one, with 3 opamps.
I've read that the most important thing due to hiss reduction is to swap the 3 opamps with NE5532, I've found NE5532AP which should do the job: I'm not worried about the current usage 'cos I don't use battery.
The Other Mod that I like to do is to swap 3 1uF electrolytics caps with non polarized ones (C21-C2-C32)
Another mod that I've find is about replacing the...
Hello, this will be my first post. So I hope I make a good impression. Anyway, I am new to modding. I started out by modding my Soul Food. I wanted a fatter sound, so I added an on/off/on switch, and piggy-backed additional capacitors to the existing cap on the board with either on position while retaining the stock sound when in the off position.
Here is my question: is it possible to add a clipping diode circuit on one side of the switch in order to add additional distortion in that position?
There's room for improvement on this one ...
I'ts a cheap distortion that i bought in a toy store almost 15 years ago, and it sounds great for 80's metal ... :slap:
It has no clean, no crunch, the tone control is inefficient, it hisses a lot, and reduces volume. Can be used with bass too. :mrgreen:
BUT there is a JRC4558DD inside, the input buffer is quite transparent, and the plastic case is really sturdy.
It looks like that , except mine has a pink battery cover/name plate (early version)...
I dont know if its correct to post this here so: mods please move the thread to anywhere else where its ok.
i want to mod my Ibanez because it sounds like woh-woh. i want it to sound more like Wah-wah
anybody got the schematics? or better: anybody knows which component to change to get the effect that i want?
there are to trim pots and one normal pot to adjust the range and i tried to make it sound better through adjusting them but it doesnt yet sound like i want it.
To anyone out there who is familiar with the circuit, of which I know there is no short supply, how could I add just a little more high end to a ts 9? I read somewhere that decreasing one of the caps on the tone stack could let more highs in, but is this a good idea and which cap should be changed to what value? Thank you in advance
This is my modded Behringer BDI21. It's a clone of the sansamp bassdriver.
Outside
Ugly Inside :oops:
Besides the true bypass I've added a mids control ( the one STM published on diystompboxes) and a new blend control. I didn't like the old blend control because the clean signal was mixed before the EQ and I want my signal unaffected.
I'll add this mods to my DIY sansamp too. So I'm going to have the behringer clone and my own clone. :lol:
Hi people
Got my hands on a elderly Ibanez SML Super Metal pedal
sounds super, but the volume is kinda laking on some eq settings.
anyone know a volume mod for this ?
have tried looking around , didnt really find anything
Hi!
I modded my DS-1 following the instructions available here:
All seems to work fine but the distortion knob causes some issues.
It does what it's supposed to do as long as you don't krank it higher than 2 o'clock.
After that it works like some kind of threshold and attenuates lower signal passing through only stronger signal.
With lower signals it just farts. :)
Anybody encountered this issue? Any ideas how to make it work fine through the whole range?
Guys, this is a mod that I did in my boss HM-2 based in schematic listed in other topic off fsb. It isn't intend to be a exactly copy of the DOD Boneshaker as I intend to keep the same quantity of controls. Pay attention about the mosfet pinout, you have to rearrange the pins.
I set the eq section I changed the bass to 103 hz and treble to 9.5 khz both acts at approximately 2/3 of octave, It works very good in my set.
When I first got the Trelicopter I really liked it. I now realize that it has a volume increase when engaged (I would prefer no increase or decrease). Does any one know how to manipulate the volume by changing any components?
