What Shredmaster mods are there out there?  What are the most popular/ your favorite?

I'm looking for something that will make it even more thick, dynamic, and versatile.

I just checked it out, and I'm somewhat interested in just paying the $25 or so dollars to get a copy of all the mods.  I just didnt want to pay the money for just one pedal, when I could seek aid from my fellow diystomboxers.
I did a search and found someone saying something about 'changing the C17 in the last op-amps stage form 1nF  to 100pF for a much heavier sound (like "shark" on the Visual sound jekyll&hyde)'.  Do others recommend this?

yellowecho

is there anyone that has any input on this?  I'd really appreciate it.

The standard mod's for anything with clipping diodes/leds is to try various combinations of those.  It makes a big difference in the character of a distortion.  IIRC it has 2 led's.  Try substituting 1 or 2 SI's for one or both of the LED's.  It will lower the output, but increase amount of the distortion.   :icon_cool: :icon_cool:

Excellent!  I'm not to this stuff, so I havent caught on to the 'standards' yet, but I'll most definately try these out and let you know what I think of the results.  Thanks!

Instead to 100pF, I recommend you to try a 330pF cap for C17.
