Monte Allums Guotar Pedal Mods



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

Big Muff Pi NYC Tri-Gain Mod

The stock Big Muff Pi New York City Version has potential but that's about all it has. It just falls apart in a mix or live band setting. There's just no meat with those potatoes. With this mod I have done two things. I first flattened out the EQ, added mids and sweetened the highs and brought the bass and mids back in focus. Second I have evened out the gain and added much needed focus and harmonic saturation. But that loose Hendrix type fuzz vibe has been enhanced and tightened. This is the closest I have ever gotten to those "Foxy Lady" and "Purple Haze" tones. That's the only reason I bought this pedal. I knew it had a great foundation for that tone. In all honesty I've had this pedal for a few years and have attempted to finalize a mod for it during that time.

This was a hard nut to crack! But my persistence did pay off and I've had a blast duplicating those early Hendrix tones with my modded BMP. In my research I found that many of the BMPs use basically the same layout with different values, so if you can read a schematic you can adapt this mod to many of those versions. When time permits I will eventually create mods for a few of them. So please do not phone or e-mail me about them. I will work on them when I get a chance. Right now I am busy expanding my product line with more products and there are only so many hours in a day. So please be patient. The mod also includes a Boss-style power Jack to replace the stock power jack. I also include a very cool 5mm Super Bright Blue LED to replace the red stock LED.

IMPORTANT — Make sure your pcb looks like this.

BMP_NYC.mp3 — Played through a Strat into a modded BMP into a Black Faced Super Reverb. Mic'd with a SM57. Delay added in Cubase. Just a rendition of Purple Haze and Foxy Lady sorta blended together to show the classic tones this mod can achieve. If you're looking for the old classic Rock tones then you'll be extremely happy with this mod!

Dying Battery Voltage Mod

I created this mod for the Big Muff but it will work with every pedal I now offer a mod for. It is a well know fact that in some circuits as the battery weakens it can have a very positive affect on the pedals tone. On the Big Muff the affect is just plain cool. The gain takes on this very fat blooming gain. Very nice!

And it a very simple mod to do. You will need to drill a hole for the pot but then it's just a matter of connecting a couple of wires and that's it. When time permits I will add a video of the mod.

EHX Bass Soul Food "Son of Klon" Mod

This is the Bass version of the EHX Soul Food. A clone of the Famous Klon Centaur. And it has become wildly popular. Many of the complaints about this pedal is that it lacks mids and girth compared to the original Klon. It also uses 1N914 Diodes instead of the 1N34As that were used in the original circuit. I have added them with this mod and I have also added a Pot so you can dial in the amount of Bass/Mids girth desired.

But while doing the mod I discovered by adding a 2N3440 and 1N914 to the circuit the Gain takes on this wonderful blooming smooth Harmonically Rich Gain that turned the pedal into a beast! Honestly with this Mod I feel the Soul Food is better than the original. Do yourself a favor and buy a Soul Food and do this mod. You can thank me later. Take a listen to the mp3 below.

MP3 Bass Soul Food Son of KlonRecorded with a Strat into a Bass Soul Food Pedal modded with my Bass Soul Food 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. The pedal effect is engaged throughout the mp3 and I used the Blend Pot to mix the effect with the clean signal. First part of the mp3 did not have the 2N3440/1N914 installed. At the 9:10 mark of the mp3 I installed the 2N3440/1N914 Combo.
