Post Pics Of your modded gear!!! Amps pedals And Guitars!
- Thread starter jem2
- Start date
5-way blade replaced with 3-way toggle (Neck, neck+bridge out of phase, bridge)
3-way mini toggle for each humbucker for series/split/parallel operation
Kill Switch for weird tappity tap stuff
Uh. Refretted by Malcolm
Pups are HAS Sound Helix / Viper.
Hardware all chrome now. Tuners are Gotoh Delta 510 tuners. Pre-92 (I think) Ibanez Edge with long trem block.
I don't have a picture of my modded Boss CE-2. Its now in a true bypass enclosure. No more vol boost when on. Has 3-way toggle for normal operation, thick chorus and a chorus/flange thing. Has a switch for increase rate.

Clipped the dist from 3x to 2x that of DS1. Re-set the EQ to 12 oclock, remove the low end fizz
Modded with a 3-way toggle. Left - treble bleed, centre - stock, right - more treble bleed, more suited for acoustic guitars
Modded to 2-way toggle. Left is Germainium, right is LED
Hi-Cut modd to 3-way switch. Left & right switch to have different analog feels, centre is stock.
Modded to a 2 2-way switches. Left switch is Keeley's SEM & Ultra, right switch is Germainium, LED with more mids
All pedals modded by Randolf. The LED lights from stock to disco lights.

Here's some stuff I worked on a while back.
Boss DS-1:
Stock pedal (guts and gore)
Changed some capacitors and resistors, played with the clipping a bit. Screwed up the PCB in one place
After the mod (sounds a heck of a lot better, and nothing like the fart from the stock ds1, well what can you expect from a pedal which proclaims itself "ass"):
DS-1 and schematic:
I put in a nice blue LED:
An old dano daddy-o I was playing with
The whole PCB (note the cheap plastic pots and stuff)
Changed the op-amp, put in a socket instead of soldering the IC straight on to the PCB, changed the clipping circuitry, experimented with ge/si/leds.
Showing its butt
I have a boss cs-3 I modded a while back to give a nicer tone - more transparent, and allow more low end, will see if I have the pics anywhere.

I've modded all my guitars in some way or another.. More time spent fooling around with the inside of the guitars than actually playing them.. Mostly just shielding and changes of pickups.. Here're the more exciting ones..
Custom "Spidey" Les Paul
Completely custom.. Ordered the parts and put it together myself..
- Warmoth Mahogany neck & body with Ebony fretboard and Maple top
- Tusq nut
- Planet Wave Auto Trim tuners
- TonePros locking Tun-o bridge
- Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates (neck) & JB (bridge)
- 1 vol, 1 tone, 2 blend controls for neck & bridge each (blend from humbucking to split single coil)
- Airbrushed finish
Fender Highway 1
Mods:
- Fender Vintage style tuning machines
- Lindy Fralin Vintage Hots with Steel Pole 43 bridge
- 1 vol, 1 tone
- 1 mini toggle switch.. Switches between 2 modes of 5-way switch options:
Mode 1: Standard Strat combinations
Mode 2: Neck, Neck series with Middle, Neck parallel with Bridge, Middle series with Bridge, Bridge..
Mr. Happy
My experiment with building effects pedals... Sound clips here (bridge) and here (neck).. Played on Spidey.. (Excuse the playing.. It was quite some time ago..
)
Aside from these, I've modded my Barber Electronics Direct Drive by adding in a diode to give a more asymetrical clipping characteristic.. My Fender Blues Junior has also had its tone stack modded (the only mod done on my gear that wasn't done myself)..

Sent the body to LGM Guitars.. Unfortunately, the dude (Jeremy) is based in Canada.. Does some great work, though..

Yups.. It's an overdrive.. Complete with a blindingly bright blue LED.. I eventually found it a little bit too noisy for my liking, though.. Plus it didn't react very well with single coils.. And the nice sounding band for the gain knob was, I found, too limited.. Oh well.. It was a first try and it did give out some good sounds, though..
