Hi guys!
New here, and new to pedal modding too..

Anyone familiar with the Zoom Driver 5000 or have a schematic? I was thinking of rehousing one that I'm picking up thats not in that good cosmetic condition.
What I'm thinking of doing to it is:

1) Housing it in a new enclosure
2) Changing the jacks and maybe the pots too
3) True bypassing it
3) (If it's as simple as it seems) Adding a permanent momentary switch to the footswitch output such that it'll be able to store a preset

Any tips or suggestions? Any info about rehousing pedals, or technical info about this project would be awesome.

Would changing the jacks and pots be as simple as following the wiring on the original on new jacks and pots (of the same value)?
True bypassing it would be tricker as I'm not sure what bypass it originally had.
