| Boss BD-2 Pedal Mod Kit | |
What's in the BD-2 Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 This has become one of my all-time favorite pedals. It's different than a Tube Screamer in that it is much more transparent and in my opinion more truly represents a driven tube amp. Straight from the factory the Boss Blues Driver tends to have a very harsh and buzz saw type gain. My BD-2 Mod transforms this pedal into a truly great sounding pedal pushing it into Boutique territory. When used at moderate to loud levels with an amp it is reminiscent of a Vintage Plexi Marshall with smooth round yet biting overdrive.This mod simply must be experienced and felt to be believed, it is that good! The Mods that I sell for this pedal push the Blues Driver into Hi-Fi territory!

 With this Kit you will receive one Tantalum Capacitor, three Metal Film Capacitors, two Boxed Metal Film Capacitors, one Carbon Film Resistor, three 1N4002 Rectifier Diodes, one 1N34A Germanium Diode, Solder and Desoldering Braid along with detailed easy-to-follow Mod Instructions. |

| BD-H2O Mod Kit | |
What's in the BD-H20 Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Boss BD-H20 DIY Pedal Mod Kits - When searching for a name to call this mod I chose H2O because it's the symbol for water. Water can be clear or transparent and it can be light or heavy. This mod transforms the BD-2 into an almost completely transparent pedal letting the true character of your guitar, pickups and amp shine through. Not only is it almost completely transparent, it's also extremely Dynamic. As you turn the Gain knob up on the pedal you can control the amount of gain using the volume control on your guitar. The BD-H2O will react exactly like a tube driven amp. The shriek highs and splaty gain of the stock BD-2 are completely removed. Compared to our regular BD-2 mod this mod has a much flatter EQ.
My regular BD-2 Mod has a slight mid boost and a little less gain than the BD-H2O Mod. Both mods remove the shriek highs and splaty gain of the stock BD-2. The splaty gain of the stock BD-2 is a common gripe I hear about others that offer mods for this pedal. We have removed this issue with this pedal. We also include a Super Bright 3mm White Clear LED. We also modify a resistor to increase the brightness of the LED X3. You can use the LED as a flashlight on stage after the mod, it is that bright, almost blinding. I will boldly state that this is undoubtedly the best mod on the planet for a BD-2. And the really cool part is we won't break the bank with the price of our mods. We offer top quality parts and expert craftsmanship at very reasonable prices.

 With this Kit you will receive two Metal Film Capacitors, five Boxed Metal Film Capacitors, four 1N4002 Rectifier Diodes, one 1N34A Germanium Diode, 3mm Super Bright Clear White LED, Solder and Desoldering Braid along with detailed easy-to-follow Mod Instructions. |

| BD-H2O Mod Plus KitWell, say goodbye to the nasty unnatural splaty decay of the BD-2! With my new Dual Stack Adapter and two NE5532 opamps I have finally eliminated this known issue with the BD-2. In my testing I tried a number of opamp combinations and two NE5532s sounds the best and was the only combination that eliminated the unnatural decay of the BD-2. The two NE5532 opamps now give a more natural sounding overdrive. This is exactly like my regular BD-2 H2O mod except with my new Dual Stack Chip Adapter Assembly. Words are not adequate to describe what this Adapter does to the tone of a H2O modded BD-2. When I first did the Chip Adapter mod I could not put the guitar down. A Smoking Clean Boost and the smoothest overdrive I have ever heard from any BD-2. My regular H2O Mod is a great choice for a player wanting to boost an already overdriven amp or it works equally well in the clean channel of an amp. With the Chip Adapter the H2O just got better. Smoother tone and less noise are a result of this awesome mod. This mod will inspire you to play. This mod is for anyone that wants boutique tone but doesn't want to spend boutique prices to achieve it.

| CE-2 & CE-2B Chorus Mods | |
What's in the CE-2 & CE-2B Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 Boss CE-2 & CE-2B DIY Pedal Mod Kits - This mod also works for the Bass Version CE-2B that has a circuit board that looks like this. This is, by far, the best analog chorus pedal I have ever played. Even though it's no longer in production there are tens of thousands of these pedals being used by pros all over the world. What I have done with this mod is improve several areas in the circuit. First, we have modified the voltage giving the pedal more headroom and improving the quality of the effect. The pedal can now be used with a standard Boss PSA power 9V adapter. We also replace the main opamp with a OPA2134PA Burr Brown opamp. This is a very Hi-Fi Low Noise opamp and will add clarity and fullness to the effect.
We have also upgraded several key components in the circuit with higher quality components. This will add clarity, fullness and a much more focused tone to the circuit. We also modify a resistor increasing the brightness of the LED. We also supply you with a 3mm Clear Super Bright Blue LED. We modify a capacitor that doubles the rate of the chorus effect to give you a super fast chorus effect while preserving the slow rate. The richness of the actual chorus effect has also been enhanced. If you are looking for an absolutely beautiful, rich, smooth and lush chorus effect this is the mod for you. A great sounding analog chorus just got 10X better!

| CS-3 Opto Plus Mod | |
What's in the CS-3 Opto Plus Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 This is exactly the same kit as my very popular CS3 Opto Mod but I have incorporated my new Dual Stack Chip Adapter Mod into the Opto kit. By replacing one of the CS3's inline chips with the Dual Stack Chip Adapter containing a RC4558P and Burr Brown OPA2134PA we increase the clarity of the CS3, decrease noise and add volume and headroom. This is one sweet sounding compressor with this mod. A truly great sounding mod just got better.
A really great compressor lets the true character of the signal come through preserving all the frequencies of the original signal. This is exactly what my CS-3 Opto Plus Mod does, and it does it very well. I modeled this kit after the character of the old vintage Opto Compressors. These compressors are highly sought after today for their ability to compress a signal in a very smooth yet transparent way. With this mod I have achieved this and more. In fact, I use a CS-3 modded with this kit as a front end compressor for my personal studio. I use it for vocals, acoustic guitar and keyboards. The results have been nothing short of amazing. If you're looking for a great compressor that won't break the bank and will inspire you, this is the kit for you. My best selling Mod just got better! |
 With this Kit you will receive a Chip Adapter with socketed RC4558P and Burr Brown OPA2134PA Chips, Super Bright White 3mm LED, four Tantalum Capacitors, three Metal Film Capacitors, four Boxed Metal Film Capacitors, one Resistor, three 1N34A Germanium Diodes, Solder and Desoldering Braid along with detailed easy-to-follow Mod Instructions. |

| CS-3 Opto Mod | |
What's in the CS-3 Opto Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Boss CS-3 DIY Pedal Mod Kits My regular CS-3 mod, according to some, is what put me on the map as a legitimate DIY pedal mod supplier. My regular CS-3 Mod is my best selling mod to date and rightly so. Many feel it is better than a certain very popular pedal modders boutique compressor that sells for 3X the cost of a modded used CS-3. Having never played that certain boutique compressor I have no point of reference. But, I will say, without a doubt, that a CS-3 modded with this kit is the most inspiring compressor I have ever heard or played. My CS-3 modded with this kit rivals my favorite compressor, the Waves Renaissance Compressor. In my opinion what makes a great compressor is one that doesn't alter the original tone in a negative way. Most compressors shave off a bit of the top end of the signal and muddy up the mids and bass.

| Boss DD-2, DD-3 & DD-5 Hi-Cut Mod | |
What's in the DD Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 This is the same mod some will charge you $50.00 to $70.00 for. Get the DIY version here for $19.99. This mod adds an analog feel to the delay affect. The original signal is unaffected. Comes with a 6-pole DPDT on-on-on Toggle Switch, two Metal Film Capacitors, heat-shrink tubing and 24 gauge hook-up wire. One side of the switch cuts the highs in the delay and cuts each repeat more and more giving the delay a very warm analog feel. NOTE: On the DD-5 the repeat does not cut the highs in each repeat more and more. Only the initial delay is affected. I am researching to see if there's a way to make each repeat cut the highs more with each repeat as is the case with the DD-2 and DD-3.The other side cuts the highs in the delay even more for an even warmer delay affect. The middle toggle position gives you the unaffected stock delay affect. So with this mod you get 3 delay options, high-cut, more high-cut and stock unaffected delay affect. Makes an already great delay pedal even better and more versatile. Save yourself $26.00 to $46.00 and do this mod yourself! Plus, modding your own pedal is just plain fun and very self-satisfying. DD-6 - I am still working on the DD-6 Hi-Cut Mod. This mod is different from the DD2,3 & 5. I still have not figured the DD-6 feedback circuit out. If there's anyone that has and would be willing to share their knowledge I would love to hear from you. Maybe we can work some sort of trade.

| I designed this mod to be an absolutely "In Yo Face" Distortion. The name alone conjures up images of a pedal that takes no prisoners. This is one awesome pedal after the mod. Tons of volume and some of the richest, smoothest, tastiest distortion you have ever heard. Looking for that Satriani type wall of sound with thick tasty leeds. This is the mod for you. Those of you that liked my SD-808 will love this mod also. Very similar harmonic structure with enhanced pinched harmonics and sustain for days. There's a wide variety of tone in this mod. With the gain turned down you'll get this smooth edgy vibe that's almost like an overdrive. Push the gain up and and this pedal will go into heavenly type distortion with no splatiness or flabby bass. Thick and smooth is the order of the day. Not a raspy tone in this mod. If you're looking for a pedal that sounds equally good at bedroom or concert volume this is the mod for you.

What's in the GE-7 Plus Mod Kit |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
 This is very handy tone shaping tool to have on your pedal board. This is actually a very nice sounding EQ right off the shelf. But it suffers from excessive noise as a result of the cheaper components Boss uses. With this mod we replace the cheaper noisy op-amp chips with low noise higher quality chips.Lower quality capacitors are also replaced reducing noise even more and also adding a more focused Hi-Fi tone to the circuit. Noise is substantially reduced and the signal is passed through preserving the original tone of your guitar. The bypass circuit is also much improved. You will not find a better mod than this anywhere for the GE-7! You'll be shocked at the improvement this mod will make on this pedal.
About the New! GE-7 Plus Mod Kit This is exactly the same mod as my popular GE-7 mod but with my new Dual Stacked Chip Adapter Mod with two Burr Brown OPA2134PA opamps with sockets. I am also supplying sockets for the RC4559P opamps so you can swap them out if you like. Also included is a Super Bright White LED. If you thought my regular GE-7 mod was quiet wait until you hear the GE-7 with a pair of OPA2134PA opamps in the circuit. This pedal now passes pristine clean signal from the input to the output. This is one awesome tone-shaping tool after this mod! Clarity and focus is unbelievably good. As a clean boost it doesn't get any better than this. |
What's in the Regular GE-7 Mod Kit  With this Kit you will receive three RC4559P and one TL072 Op-amp, three Tantalum Capacitors, one Metal Film Capacitor, four Boxed Metal Film Capacitors, Solder and Desoldering Braid along with detailed easy-to-follow Mod Instructions.

| MT-2 Sustainia Mod | |
What's in the MT-2 Sustainia Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is my second Mod for the MT-2. I've gotten a lot of requests asking if there are any mods that will clean up the pedal when the gain is turned down and also reduce noise. My MT-2 Sustainia Mod has accomplished both of these requests. I have also flattened out the EQ and enhanced sustain. Now with the tone controls at 12 O'clock the EQ is almost totally flat with a mild fattening of the signal. The gain will now go from clean boost to crunchy overdrive to a take-no-prisoners distortion with sustain for days. You will not believe the sustain this mod will give you! But, for those that prefer more gain with no clean boost I include instructions and two 1N34A Germanium Diodes that will give you that, along with a much smoother gain structure and enhanced sustain. So, depending on your particular tonal needs, this mod will cover both areas and it does both very well. My MT-2 Sustainiac Mod completely transforms a very harsh nasally pedal into one of the sweetest tastiest overdrive/distortion pedals available at any price. This is, without a doubt, the best mod for a MT-2 that's available anywhere at any price!

| OD-3 Supra Mod Kit | |
What's in the OD-3 Supra Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 Boss OD-3 Supra DIY Pedal Mod Kits - This is by far the best sounding Boss Over Drive right out of the box. Boss almost got this one right. I say almost because even though this is a great sounding pedal it lacks clarity, note definition and there's too much bass in the gain. The gain is also rather splaty. With this mod I have improved all the things I did not like about the stock pedal. I've evened out the gain structure and remove the splatiness. I've also upgraded several lower quality capacitors in strategic areas of the signal path which substantially improves the clarity and note definition of the OD-3.The warmth and smoothness of the stock pedal have been preserved while transparency, clarity and note definition have been improved. With this mod, this is one of the best, most transparent overdrives I have ever played. All the original tone of your guitar and amp is preserved. This pedal will go from transparent clean boost to Rich and Creamy Over Drive and all points in between. Take a listen to the mp3s and I think you'll agree, this is one of the best Over Drives on the market at any price point.

And to top it off the OPA2134PA chip is socketed so you can experiment with other opamps.

What's in the SD-1 GT Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 Boss SD-1 GT DIY Pedal Mod Kits - This is my third mod for a Boss SD-1. This mod is built around a 2N3440 Transistor. A 2N3440 Transistor in this circuit, along with a few other tweaks here and there, transforms this pedal into an absolute tone monster! This mod combines the positive qualities of my first two SD-1 Mods to create an unbelievably great overdrive. The SD-808 is one of my personal favorites. Some say it's the best SD-1 mod available. The SD-1 GT is more transparent than either of my other two SD-1 Mods. It has a very slight mid boost which helps you stand out in a mix. But the real magic happens in the upper frequencies. If you've ever played a vintage Script Dyna Comp or Ross compressor you've experienced the magic that happens in the upper range of those pedal and give them the magic that pro players rave about. That same magic is present in my SD-1 GT Mod. Note clarity is the best of any pedal mod I sell to date. My RAT 2 Fat Rat Mod comes very close but the GT has a tad better note clarity. Think early Led Zepplin Tone here.I've also incorporated two switches into the SD-1 GT Mod. One switch adds presence and gain while the other switch toggles between Asymmetrical (Boss) and Symmetrical (Ibanez) Clipping. There are a ton of tonal options available here. Want clean boost. No problem. Want note articulation and clarity. No problem. Want smooth creamy overdrive. No problem. Want a combination of them all. You got it. Very versatile Mod that offers a wide pallet of tonal colors. To add a little icing on the cake I am including the extremely popular and quiet OPA2134PA Burr Brown op-amp. So, you thought the SD-808 was a great mod? Wait till you hear the GT!

| The SD-1 is a great pedal but suffers from a nasty problem when the effect is bypassed. With the gain Maxxed and the effect bypassed there is a slight ghosting of the effect of the SD-1 that can be heard. Chad Matthews has fixed this problem with a Mod he calls the SD-1 M-Circuit Mod. With the kit all that is required is the soldering of three wires. That's it, simply follow the directions which are send as an e-mail and solder the Red, Green and Black wires per the instructions and the SD-1 Bleed Through Gain problem will be fixed thus making an already great sounding Overdrive that much better. Price includes Parts, Instructions and Shipping to the lower 48 states. Please contact Chad Matthews at no_spam_chadmat@frontiernet.net. Money Orders are also accepted.

| SD-1 Mod | |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
 This is probably the one of the best kept secrets on the planet at $40 USD. This pedal is a sleeper and a steal. New, it is half of what a used TS9 sells for on eBay. What's really amazing is how great this pedal sounds with my $20 Mod. So for $60 and little time you get a pedal that blows away the competition. No hype, this Mod is THAT Good! Even I am shocked at how well this mod turned out. Stock the SD-1 delivers warm fat tones. The stock SD-1 from the factory sounds rather bland and not very transparent. The PCB is almost exactly the same as a Tube Screamer. The stock SD-1 also comes with the famed JRC4558D opamp chip. You can change the character of the pedal buy swapping out different chips which I now sell above. This mod will make you want to throw away your Tube Screamer. Well, maybe not, but this mod transforms this already good sounding pedal into absolutely one of the best Overdrive pedals sold anywhere at any price! With this mod I tried Carbon Composition, Carbon Film, Metal Film, Tantalum, Rectifier Diodes, LEDs, Germanium Diodes, etc. just to see what affect each one would have on the SD-1's tone. The Mods below are a result of that research and experimentation.

What's in the SD-808 Mod Plus Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| With this mod I take the SD-1 and mod it to TS808 specs. The circuit of the SD-1 is very similar to the TS9. This mod includes all the mods in my regular SD-1 mod, plus you get three extra components that will take the SD-1 to TS808 specs. I have also included a JRC4558D chip. The stock SD-1 comes with the JRC4558DD op-amp chip. Some feel the JRC4558D is a better sounding chip than the JRC4558DD in the SD-1 circuit. I also include a 3mm Super Bright Blue LED and a resistor replacement that will increase the brightness of the LED. What's really amazing is how great this pedal sounds with this Mod. I also include the symmetrical clipping mod for those that prefer Ibanez TS808 clipping over Boss asymmetrical clipping. This mod is absolutely the best SD-1 mod sold anywhere by anyone at any price! The complexity of the tone after the mod is startling. We also mod the clipping section to symmetrical clipping like Ibanez uses in the TS9. You can also change the character of the pedal buy swapping out different chips which I now sell above. Compared to my regular SD-1 mod this mod will take the SD-1 and add presence and much more complexity of tone. It’s like taking a blanket off the speaker in your amp. The tone is very open, airy and transparent. Very smooth, yet biting gain. Controlled feedback and sustain is incredible with this mod. This is the ultimate SD-1 mod!

| Daddy-O TNT Mod | |
What's in the Daddy-O TNT Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 Stock, this pedal is a fizz factory. The gain knob does almost nothing up to about 3 O'clock and then radically saturates with tons of gain. About the only usable setting is as a clean boost with the gain almost all the way down. I have evened out the gain knob so it is now an even transition from clean to full gain. I have also completely removed the raspy fizz. Notes and chords now explode off the neck of the guitar. With this mod the Daddy-O becomes a take-no-prisoners Tone Machine that explodes with the most amazing solid wall of overdrive you've ever heard. With this mod the Daddy-O is unlike any distortion or overdrive I've ever heard. It is now truly the King of Punch that explodes into tonal bliss!

What's in the TNT Tri-Gain Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chad Matthews of CMATMODS and I came up with this mod. I knew when I tried it I had to offer it as an option on my Daddy-O Mod. This Tri-Gain Mod will add a ton of tonal options to an already great sounding Daddy-O Mod.
With this switch we will toggle between two 1N4002 Diodes and two 3mm Red LEDs. So you get the smooth, creamy saturation of the 1N4002 Diodes and a Volume Boost that the LEDs will give the circuit. With the switch in the middle position all diodes are bypassed which will give you a huge volume boost and will allow you to get a much cleaner gain. You'll find that the LEDs will add volume, bass, a very smooth gain plus a ton of thick sustain.
Hear For Yourself! (.mp3) This mp3 was recorded on a Strat with a DiMarzio PAF Pro at the bridge and two DiMarzio Virtual Vintage pups at the neck and middle positions. The amp was a stock 2000 Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and the mic was a SM57. |

PLEASE READ - This is my GO-TO pedal when I play with our Church Choir. Do yourself a favor and buy this kit if you own a Daddy-O. You can buy these on eBay for $25 or less. Buy a used Daddy-O on eBay and install this kit. In front of a clean setting on my Fender Cyber Deluxe the LED side of the switch sounds like a Plexi Marshall. No kidding folks. Most write this pedal off and if you've ever played one stock you'll know why. With my TNT Tri-Gain Kit you'll get a Plexi in a box. No Kidding! You can Thank me later! Monte Allums |

| TS9, TS7 & TS5 Tube Screamer DIY Pedal Mod Kits | |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I will be adapting the above mod to the TS7 and TS5 and maybe a couple of the Maxon Overdrives as well. Please do not e-mail me about the availability of them. When I am happy with the adaptation of the Tri-Gain mod with these pedals I will release them. I have no idea how long this will take so please be patient. Just creating the instructions alone is a very time-consuming task. So, please do not e-mail me about the availability of these mods. Also, please do not ask me to upgrade you to the above mod if you have purchased one of our previous Tube Screamer mods. I will not be offering an upgrade for them. The reason is I don't feel the Tri-Gain switch alone would be a good upgrade for them. There are other components that need to be changed to take advantage of the switches. Monte Allums |  |

| Tube Screamer Mods | |
What's in the Tube Screamer Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 NOTE: The TS9 and TS808 have the exact same PC Board. Our TS9 Kit will also work with a TS808. These Mod Kits are the result of months of research. I took several Mods that others are performing on the net and performed them on a Tube Screamer. The ones I liked I kept. But I went further, I painstakingly tweaked each Mod to perfection. I tried different Resistors, Capacitors, Diodes (Carbon Composite, Metal Film, Tantalum, Germanium, etc.) and I used the best analyzers in the World (My Ears) to determine which sounded the best. I discovered that there's an awful lot of hype and Mojo floating around about the Tube Screamer. This DIY Kit Goes Way Beyond a TS-808. Although, it does include the famous Texas Instruments RC4558P chip and the famous "Brown Mod". But this Kit doesn't stop there.

| MXR Dyna Comp DIY Pedal Mod Kits | |
What's in the MXR Mod Kit | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 The MXR Dyna Comp Compressor is a popular favorite among many guitarists such as Pete Townsend and David Gilmour. Stock, this pedal sounds decent but lacks fullness, bass and clarity. It does a good job at the under $100 price point. For a better Compressor you'll have to spend $200 to $250 on either a vintage Ross or one of the other custom built Compressors you see on sold on eBay. The Dyna Comp can be made to sound equally as good as Compressors costing two to three times its cost by changing a few of its components.What sets the more expensive Compressors apart from these mass produced pedals are the quality of the components used in them. By swapping out these cheaper quality parts with more expensive higher quality components and changing a few values here and there you can substantially improve the quality of the effect of the Dyna Comp. I've played compressors costing $300 that don't sound any better than a Dyna Comp that has been modded with this Mod Kit. By changing out a few components here and there this pedal will compete with boutique pedals costing much much more. Do yourself a favor and upgrade your Dyna Comp with this Mod Kit. You'll be floored by the quality of the tone this Mod Kit will give your Dyna Comp.
WARNING! - There are currently 4 versions of the Dyna Comp. A Vintage Version, and three New Versions Dunlop is currently selling. There's a Revision "D" and Revision" E" and Revision "F". Please click on the following links to see which version you need to order. You'll need to open up your Dyna and view the PCB. IMPORTANT - I will not be offering a mod for the new Revision "F" Version. VINTAGE_____REVISION "D"______REVISION "E"______REVISION "F" |
With the Vintage and Rev. D Kits you will receive one CA3080E chip, five 2SC1849 Transistors, one Tantalum Capacitor, five Metal Film Capacitors, three 1N34A Germanium Diodes, 5mm Super Bright Green LED, Solder and Desoldering Braid along with detailed easy-to-follow Mod Instructions.

| YDR & RAT 2 Fat Rat Tri-Gain Mod | |
In the YDR & RAT 2 Fat Rat Tri-Gain Mod | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 This mod works with the YDR (You Dirty RAT) (Which is Made in the USA BTW) and some of the RAT 2 (USA Production) ProCo pedals. The really cool thing about this mod is there is virtually no difference in the PCB Layout of the YDR and the RAT 2 that I offer a mod for. IMPORTANT – Your RAT 2 must have a pcb that looks exactly like this. If your RAT 2 doesn’t look exactly like the one in the pic this mod will not work with your pedal. So please do not e-mail me and ask if it will. I will not be offering any RAT 2 mods except for the one I offer here. But, for those of you wanting to try my RAT 2 mod I suggest you buy a new or used YDR (You Dirty RAT) and perform this mod on it.The only difference between these two pedals (YDR & RAT 2) is the clipping diodes, which I replace in the mod anyway. So, after the mod, the two pedals will be exactly the same. Let me say right off that I am well aware that the new production RAT 2s are now made in China. The problems with these Chinese production pedals are well documented. The quality of the parts is very poor and I do not recommend you try to mod them. There are instances where the pots have simply fallen apart. The YDR and the RAT 2 I offer a mod for here are both made in the USA and the quality of the parts are very good and will stand up to the modding process very well and they are True Bypass! I absolutely love my modded YDR and RAT 2. They are, by far, one of the best OD/Distortion pedals (post mod) on the market at any price point. My modded YDR and RAT 2 will do overdrive and distortion and all points in between. It will even do a Clean Boost! I have added bass, flattened the mids and also added focus to the gain. The mod will give you this very warm and FAT sustain. There’s a slight mid boost that helps you cut through a mix, for both recording and live performing. NOTE – As far as I know there is only one YDR pcb layout in existence. But, ProCo is known for changing the circuit in their pedals at the drop of a hat. So I highly recommend taking the battery cover off and looking inside to make sure your YDR or RAT 2 looks exactly like this. If they do not, this mod will not work with your pedal. BTW, this mod is a little different than my first RAT 2 mod. |
With this Kit you will receive a LM308N Opamp, Toggle Switch, Heat Shrink Tubing, 22 Ga. Wire, Two 3mm Red LEDs, one 5mm Super Bright White LED, three Metal Film Capacitors, one Carbon Composite Resistor, one Metal Film Resistor, One Tantalum Capacitor, one 220uF Capacitor, three 1N4002 Rectifier Diodes, 5mm Super Bright White LED, Solder and Desoldering Braid along with detailed easy-to-follow Mod Instructions in PDF Format. |

| Opamp Adapter Mod Kits |
Opamp Adapter Mod Kits Installed
|
|
How often have you wished you could swap out those crappy stock inline chips for a Burr Brown OPA2134PA, JRC4558D, RC4558P or one of the other popular Dual Opamp Chips? Well, now you can with this adapter and an 8 Pin Chip Socket. Simply remove the stock inline chip, pop in the adapter, socket, and your favorite opamp and experience the variety of tone that swapping opamps will give you. |
|
In the pictures above I have replaced sone of the stock inline chips of pedals with my new Adapters and Socketed Burr Brown OPA2134PA Chips. The results are unbelievably good. The OPA2134PA gives the Sustainia Tri-Gain Mod more clarity and note definition while in other pedals will render lower noise and a more focused tone. I also replaced a LM308N in my OD-308 with stacked LM308Ns. 
A Word About Stacking Opamps — Stacking opamps has been around for many years. Dave Barber reintroduced it to the DIY community a while back. There are some advantages. First thing I noticed was slightly more output volume. Not a lot but noticeable nonetheless. And depending on the circuit you'll get different tones from mixing and matching opamps. Sometimes two of the same type works best, sometimes not. I have chosen the combinations I feel sounded the best in the mods I offer. But, the fun is in experimentation so feel free to mix and match. Other things I noticed in my experimentation was slightly less noise and more headroom. The complexity of tone can be much improved with stacking opamps. Fullness and harmonic content seem to be enhanced also. |

DIP8 to 8-Pin Single Opamp Socket Extenders |
Socket Extenders - Sold in Units of 8 |
|
 Use these Socket Extenders to install the Chip Adapter in pedals with limited space such as the BD-2. See the illustration above. The Socket Extender allows the legs of the Chip Adapter to be bent to allow it to lay closer to the PCB allowing the Chip Adapter to be installed in pedals with limited room.NOTE: These Socket Adapters may also be used to socket diodes, resistors, caps, etc. This makes swapping out components very convenient and easy. By adding a socket where the component is on the PCB you can easily swap out different components without resoldering. Just solder a socket in each of the components holes and make experimenting simple and easy.
|
|
By Units of Eight I mean you'll get what you see in the picture at the left. That is 8 individual sockets not 8 sets of 8. |
| Boss TR-2 Plus Mod Kit | What's In the TR-2 Plus Mod Kit | |
 There are currently two versions of the TR-2. The new TR-2 has a PCB that looks like this. The older version has a PCB that looks like this. Make sure you open your TR-2 up to see which version you have before you order.Well, you asked for it and here it is. The stock TR-2 is noisy and has a volume loss when engaged. With this mod I have fixed each issue. I have also incorporated my new Dual Stacked Chip Adapter Mod using a very high quality Burr Brown OPA2134PA and RC4558P Chips. The effect is like lifting a blanket off the pedals tone. I can boldly say without a doubt this is now one of the best Tremolos available in a stomp box at any price point. With this mod I have incorporated a pot that not only solves the volume loss issue but also now allows the pedal to be used as a clean boost with the depth knob all the way down. I also modify a resistor which increases the brightness of the LED. A Super Bright White LED is also supplied. |

| Boss OS-2 Dual-Gain Plus Mod Kit | What's in the Boss OS-2 DG Plus Mod Kit | |
If you're looking for a clean boost this probably is not the pedal for you. But if you're looking for a take no prisoners Distortion look no further. This pedal stock, is like a swarm of angry bees. No body or focus to the gain at all. It's all  over the place.Not any more. It's now a very smooth, thick, FAT and nasty Distortion. Although it'll do overdrive, that's not the strength of this mod. You want overdrive buy a SD-1 or TS9. If you want a radical Distortion, THEN BUY THIS MOD! The switch adds two gain options. An LED and a 1N914 diode. The LED adds a thick warm FAT Distortion and the 1N914 will give you a very harmonically rich and FAT gain that will do pinched harmonic as good as any mod I've created so far. The real beauty is you can get a used OS-2 on eBay for cheap.. I paid $40 shipped for the OS-2 I used to creat the mod. 3mm Yellow Super Bright LED is included. |
