Haha, anybody run across this, yet? Bought a tube screamer copy a while back, just now I'm trollin' around looking for modding advice, and I find this:

http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=725923

Apparently there's a switch installed on the board that basically makes it more transparent? Somebody just KNEW I was gonna have this case open, haha. If it sounds ok, I'll prolly drill a hole in the case and mount the switch so I can get to it.

note to self: "spdt switch, right-hand is home position"

Dude, check out freestompboxes.org. Tons of mod ideas and shite.

I thought this thread was about cheating in MW2.

Huh - according to at least one account, that switch actually turns this box into the zw-44 zakk wylde pedal. Wee waa, widdly widdly pinch harmonic. (I paid like $27 for this thing, so according to a casual price comparison, that's a $50 switch, haha.)

I thought this thread was about stealing TV's.

I bought a shitty old TS-5. Changed the clipping diodes to 1 germanium on one side and two silicon 1n914s on the other side. Then I increased the gain of the clipping section. It sounds fucking badass.

I clipped the gain with 4 g64yj diodes and an wmc capacitor from an old analogy

Should have used the vintage microbooster quad-USB D7 automaton.

Update: this thing fucking kills, me likey. With the switch thrown, it's a lot more transparent (esp on the bass end) and a lot less fizzy and middy. Sounds savage through the 6505. As an added bonus it doesn't have stupid zakk wylde paint or his dumb name anywhere on it, high five. I just drilled a channel in the case for the switch and jumped it off the board with paperclips. Thanks, MXR! LOL

sounds cool, havent tried one yet. but for uber cheap overdrives id go for either the digitech bad monkey or a use ibanez ts-7.

WHY CAN'T YOU BE HAPPY FOR ME
P_P

Actually, just the dual functionality between metal-y rhythm bass transparent pedal and midboost-y lead dirt pedal is kinda intriguing me, I might replace the slider with a footswitch at some point.
