DISCLAIMER - Absolutely no refunds. All sales are final. We cannot be held responsible if you ruin your pedal. I got ripped off by a buyer of my TR-2 mod. Said he wasn't happy with the mod so I offered to buy the TR-2 from him. I gave him $110 in good faith. When I received the pedal it was non-functioning. He had drilled the hole for the pot in the wrong place piercing the ribbon going to the depth pot and completely pulled 4 traces from the PCB. And he wanted to know why the mod sounded bad. Because of this I will no longer issue refunds of any type on mods. If you do not have the skills required to perform the mod then please let us do the mod for you. Monte Allums

MXR Micro Flanger Volume Fix Mod Kit

This mod fixes the volume issue with the MXR Micro Flanger. This is a great Flanger but the stock version is almost unusable because the effect, when engaged, has a huge volume increase. This mod fixes this issue by letting you match the bypass volume with the Pot I include. Before you order make sure your pcb looks like this.

MXR_Micro_Flanger_Volume_Mod.mp3 — Recorded with a Strat into a MXR Micro Flanger modded with my MXR Micro Flanger Volume Mod into a Moreland Diamondback Tube Amp. A touch of Reverb and delay were added in Studio One. I used a variety of modes and settings throughout the mp3.

MXR Vintage Dyna Comp True Bypass, LED, Boss Style DC Jack & TrebleBox Bright Switch Mod Kit

This mod works with the early Vintage Dynas and the Newer Vintage Reissue. Make sure your Dyna looks like these pcbs.

With this kit I add a DPDT TrebleBox Bright Switch, 5mm Super bright White LED, Boss Style DC Jack and 3PDT True Bypass Switching. Filtering cap and reverse protection diode have also been included for seamless operation. Why pay someone $80 to perform this mod when you can do it yourself for much less?

The Dyna is notorious for bleeding highs off the circuit. I have added a SPDT switch with three modes. One is the stock tone, one is a little brighter and one removes the cap completely adding even more highs. This is a very cool mod that really opens up the pedal. Try it with a 12-string electric and bask in the tones you'll hear.

THIS MOD ONLY WORKS WITH THE VINTAGE DYNA & VINTAGE REISSUE

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. NOTE: IF YOUR PEDALS PCB LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE PICS I OFFER A MOD FOR MY MOD WILL WORK WITH YOUR PEDAL, EVEN IF IT HAS ANOTHER REVISION LETTER WRITTEN ON THE PCB.

VINTAGE_____REVISION "D"______REVISION "E"______REVISION "F"
Each kit will be slightly different. The Vintage and Revision "D" kit are almost exactly the same. The New Revision "E" already comes with the CA3080AE Chip and Metal Film Capacitors so those components are not included with that kit. That is the reason the price is slightly lower. NOTE: It appears my Dyna Comp Rev. E Mod will work with the MXR Super Comp. Just make sure the pcb looks like the pic I have for Revision E above. But be warned, some of the new Super Comps use smd components. Your Super Comp must look like this for my mod to work.

MXR Dyna Comp DIY Pedal Mod Kits

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".

MXR M-104 Distortion Plus Tri-Gain Mod

This mod is for the newer version, not the vintage version of the Distortion Plus. Here's what your pcb should look like.

In my opinion, stock, this pedal is terrible. At low volume it's just okay but as you dial up the gain the effect just falls apart and gets extremely thin and loses bottom. Plus the distortion is fizzy and all over the place. The pedal would be okay for a boost at lower gain but there's hardly any volume with the gain dialed down. So what I did was add bass to the circuit, add volume and remove the spiky and fizzy highs. I added a SPDT switch with 3 modes. With the mod applied this pedal is transformed into a great boost/distortion pedal that is both FAT and Cruchy. Although you can get some very smooth type overdrive from the mod that is not its strength. With the gain dialed up in front of either a clean or already overdriven amp you get harmonically rich tones that will explode off the neck of the guitar.

MXR Classic Distortion & Distortion III Tri-Gain Mod
The MXR Distortion III and the Classic Distortion are exactly the same pedal. So this mod will work with both. Here's what your pcb will look like.

Stock these pedals are really not too bad, but with the mods applied this is one awesome OD. In fact, this has become one of my personal favorites. This is a great pedal after the mod to use to juice up an existing overdriven amp or to place in front of a clean amp. Very nice distortion. The 3-way switch makes this a very versatile pedal. Middle position allows it to be used as a boost.
