I used to post mods for Boss ds-1's and write FAQ's in the past about working with music electronics at other forums. But it got to fustrating because it stomped on a lot of guys who were overcharging to do the work for others. I wonder how Keeley feels about this book?
Most pedal mods cost no more than 4 bucks for parts and take less than a half an hour if you know what your doing.

The 'Keeley' mods for DS-1 and SD-1 can be found here:

Also check out http://www.buildyourownclone.com/ for complete kits to build some well-known pedals.

Yeah, being an EE too, I always felt Keeley, and guys in that do those mods seriously overcharge. I've got most schematics for stock pedals and some of their mods, and it's never cost more than a few bucks for the components.

It pisses me off that even FUZZCENTRAL is now charging for this mod sheet!! Everyone seems in it for the almighty buck...sheesh..

Still 50$ is a hefty price for that book though. I would pay a max of 30$ for something like that. Simply because some guy took the time to gather the information and work of others, doesn't warrant 50$ per book.

I've heard that a $40 Digitech Bad Monkey outperforms the modded SD-1's anybody know if this is true?

[keithb]

I'm no EE, but as a lifelong computer/electronics/radio geek I know my way around a soldering iron, and I know what you mean about overcharging.

However, people seem more than willing to pay the prices they ask, so more power to 'em.

Hey keithB, what kind of radio stuff you into?
I was restoring older shortwaves for a while as well as DX'ing stations..

[keithb]

I have a Tech+ ham radio license, figure I'll take the test for Extra class this summer since they removed the higher speed Morse requirements.

I'm not really active, although sometimes I chat on the local 2m repeaters.

I wasn't much of a talker and never got a Ham certification. There was quite an antenna farm on my roof for a while though! I did manage to accumulate a small collecotin of QSL's both MW and SW..

anybody got the schematics for an MT2 mod? this would be awesome if i could do this myself before my big gig on saturday.

I am not an EE, but I have used a soldering Iron, and I modded my own $25 Ibanez TS-5 Soundtank Tube Screamer to make it have basically the same circut as the TS-808. Total cost in parts was about $15. Total time was about 30min. It sounds amazing. I still can't beleive folks pay either $300 for an original 808 or over $100 to have thier TS-8 or TS-9 modded.
