| 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!

| 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 rape you with the price of our mods. We offer top quality parts and expert craftsmanship at very reasonable prices.

BD-H2O Mod Plus Kit This is exactly like my regular BD-2 H2O mod except with a Chip Adapter and a Burr Brown OPA2134PA opamp. Words are not adequate to describe what a OPA2134PA opamp does to the tone of a H2O modded BD-2. When I first did the Chip Adapter Burr Brown mod I could not put the guitar down. A Smoking Clean Boost and the smoothest overdrive I have ever heard from a BD-2. The Burr Brown chip completely transforms the H2O into a Boutique Killer! And to top it off the OPA2134PA chip is socketed so you can experiment with other opamps. I also like a RC4558P in this kit.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 and a OPA2134PA opamp the H2O just got better. Smoother tone and less noise are a result of this awesome mod. The OPA2134PA also flattens out the EQ for an even more transparent tone. We also include a socket for the OPA2134PA so you can experiment with other opamps. Believe me, after doing this mod you will not want to put the guitar down. 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 Chip Adapter Mod into the Opto kit. By replacing one of the CS3's inline chips with the Chip Adapter and a Burr Brown OPA2134PA Dual Opamp we increase the clarity of the CS3 and decrease noise. 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! |

| 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.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.

| Boss GE-7 DIY Pedal Mod Kits |
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 Chip Adapter Mod with a Burr Brown OPA2134PA opamp. 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 OPA2134PA opamp 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. |

| 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.

| SD-1 GT Mod | 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!

| Boss SD-1 Bleed Fix Mod | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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.
