BOSS SD-1 Tone Bypass

[Guitarfreak]

I am not sure if this is possible because I have found no documentation of it, but if it is possible I'd love to do it.  I performed a similar yet slightly different operation on my EHX Big Muff, three wires were run from each of the lugs on the tone pot to a DPDT mini switch.  In one position the pedal is stock, and in the other position the tone circuit is bypassed leaving only the gain and volume of the pedal active.  This time though I have to use a sub-mini switch which I believe only have three contacts on the bottom.  I will include a link to the mod for reference.

I guess I was mistaken I just naturally assumed all BMPs had the tone bypass switch on the back apron of the pedal, just like mine.

I don't think it will do anything as dramatic as it did in the Big Muff.

Do you think that it would maybe take some of the high end fizziness out of the circuit?

[El Heisenberg]

oh definetly not. That will add even more of it if it does anything at all. What will happen is that the tone control will just be left open as if it's up all they way.

The big muff tone control scoops alot of the mids out. Bypassing it brings back the mids. This tone control looks like it just cuts the highs. So removing it from the circuit will just leave all the highs in, and maybe add more.
