Can this be done?  I love the basic sound of this pedal but I hate the EQ. Can it be done? Any other gain or tone stack or whatever mods are very welcomed!

bottle rocket has the same EQ as marshall/fender, the only difference is that it has fixed resistors for middle pot (two 10k resistors as a votlage divider instead of 25K pot, so it sounds like middle is always at 12:00). If you need middle control just add 25k pot and connect wiper to 0.022uF cap, one outer lug to bass pot and one to ground and you have a marshall tone stack :)
