Was wanting to mod this pedal, maybe put it in a different casing and ad some mini toggles instead of the STAGE knob.  Think it can be done?

Certainly it can be re-housed, but Boss pedals are notorious for their somewhat complicated switching, which you will have to deal with if you move it to a new enclosure.

As well, any pot can be turned in to a series of switches and resistors, but why?  The pot offers more flexibility and reduced complexity.

Well, i'm actually not really sure sure as to why.  Kind of a different look to it.  I'm new to the whole, building myself, so i'm trying to alter things i already have, and i really enjoy those mini toggles.  But, i suppose you are right.

Phasers, flangers and delays are kinda complicated compared to distortions and fuzzes (and even wahs).  So, you might want to start off modding a distortion.

My first project is actually just rehousing the Holy Grail.  Putting it in a new enclosure, i switched the slider to a mini toggle, replaced the led and knob.  Nothing really.
