help identifying modded SD-1

I bought a BOSS sd-1 second hand a few years back, which i have since replaced with other overdrive pedals. now that i've rediscovered it, i realise it has a blue LED light(the stock ones are red aren't they?) and that i vaguely recall the seller saying something about it being modded when i bought it, but that was like 3-4 years ago and I can't be sure.

is there any way to check? since i know absolutely nothing about the insides of pedals i decided to ask here.

thanks alot!
 
the blue led can be a lead, but definitely not a 100 percent way to know who modded it, locally or overseas that is. Afterall, its just an led, something which you can easily get, in various different colours, some even multiple colours in 1 kinda

(if around 3/4 years back) For overseas, one of the more prominent modder/builder using blue led is keeley. But if his the one who modded the pedal, usually it will come with his decal outside the pedal.

anyway, usually for modders, they will put their imprint in the pedals which they modded, in the form of writing on inside of baseplate or some form of decal. If theres none, then its a bit tough to find out who modded it.

another way to find out, its even harder, check out the circuit, see which is/are the component that have been changed, to what value etc. Compare it with known mods thats available. Of course, this way, its much harder coz for some mods, it aint a open thing among modders that charge for modding.
