keely mods...

[bigdawg]

are they easy to install - want to mod a bd2 to create a better bypass (H20 mod) just wondering if im going over my head....??

and what do they charge for postage..??

WOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH

You can do them yourself well easy and they charge a fortune for them.

What exactly do you want to change about the pedal? I have the following ready made mods for the BD2 :

"Full Body"
"Tube"
"Hot Rod"
"Brent Mason"
"Tweed"
"Fuzz"


Give me a shout if you want any help.

the BD-H2O Mod Plus Kit:

Yeh I figured that.

The Monte stuff is easy to do if you take your time. It's a bit more expensive than buying the bits yourself and you won't learn much about pedal building but you will end up with a decent pedal.

P&P is a few quid so the kit will be about £20 delivered to your door.

If you want details of the mods I listed above just shout - the total will probably be £5 for the bits.

If you have a soldering iron & screwdriver you can do them no probs.

Forgot to add - I have a Monte SD1 GT mod kti in the house if you fancy it? Could always try that one before ordering from the US.

How do your mod's differ then Kev ? I've modded 2 BD-2s now (each one slightly differently) and can get some very good results with just a few caps changes and a few diode changes.

I'm just curious really, my modded BD-2 is probably my 'go to' dirt pedal of choice fopr my Tele, just curious how your 6 mods differ tonally, and if I can learn something to upgrade / improve my BD-2.

[bigdawg]

do the mods youve listed also stop the bd2 doing what its supposed to...(creamy bluesy tone) - and what does the hot rod do, overdrive..??

[nocaster]

Ah sorry - Thought you meant details of the mods as in component values, etc!

The descriptions are all pretty much self-explanatory really. My personal favourite is the "Tube" mod and makes use of (amongst other things!) a Germanium tranisistor in place of D10.

The "Full Body" mod thickens it up and removes any TS808-like honk and turns it into a proper beefy pedal. Almost like a OCD with the LP filter selected.

The "Hot Rod" mod tightens up the top end and makes the pedal scream. Very "Marshall Stack".

"Brent Mason" is self-explanatory.

The "Tweed" mod is mental and (amongst other mods) replaces 5 diodes with Germanium transistors. Sounds very "tweedy"! Believe it or not!
