SECTION 16 – Modifications
After you have gotten used to the sound of the standard setup described in the instructions, you might want to
experiment with these modifications to change up the tone.
We have supplied you with the parts to implement 5 different modifications.
1. Tone Stack Mod
This mod allows you to change the tone stock for a vintage Fender style. It should add brightness and clarity
to the overall tone. (Because this mod has the most components, we have supplied an extra terminal strip so
that you can swap out tone stacks easier).
2. Input Voltage Divider Mod
This mod is very simple. It will make the lower volume settings more mid heavy and
really tighten up the overdrive distortion.

Remove the 68K resistor from T2 and replace it with a 1M.
Carefully desolder the wires from T5 and remove the whole terminal strip with its components
intact.
Fasten the new terminal strip and solder the components as in T5
MOD below. (Reconnect the wires from where you removed them.
