I tried some DIY mods, but the sound became a bit too unpredictable for my taste. I still think they have their charm in experimentation, though!
Are there specific mods that you’ve found beneficial or is it just a gamble?
I think the key is to know your limits. DIY sounds fun, but having the backup of a professional could save your pedal from a bad mod.
Totally! That moment of realization when you end up making more problems than solutions is a harsh lesson.
I will say it’s a great way to bond with your pedal. But DIY does require a bit of patience and good tools. Got a favorite soldering iron?
I use a Weller soldering iron for everything! It’s a solid tool for pedal mods.

I’ve thought about trying a professional mod service. What are some reputable ones besides Toneman?
Check out Mod Kits DIY; they have some fantastic reviews. A bit pricier, but quality work.

I wonder if modding would make a huge difference in live settings versus studio recordings? Anyone tested this out?
Good question! I think it really depends on the player’s style and the context of the music. Sometimes subtle changes shine through better in a studio.
