Basic MT-2 Mod (First Attempt)

Repaired a friend's battered BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone; and in the process, also tried implementing some easy alterations to the pedal, dramatically changing the "nasal" sound.

Features of the basic modifications done:
- the nasally (a.k.a. "cocked wah") mid tone is gone
- assymmetrical clipping (replaced a couple of 1N4148 diodes)
- much improved equalization, and fuller distorion
- replaced the status LED with a bright blue one

Temporarily borrowed the pedal knobs from my MT-2 (yes this relic'd baby has its knobs missing) to be able to record four settings, via M-Audio JamLab USB interface. Used a Les Paul Copy loaded w/ DiMarzio D-Activator X bridge pickup. Best viewed on HD 1080 setting!

(Again please excuse the lame guitar playing heheh!)

Are the GTX mods you've made the same made to the Metal Zone? Could you share, please? Thanks.

sounds awesome good pickup choice! thx for sharing, I need to try this mod otherwise I'll sit for hours tweaking knobs looking for a tone that doesn't exist on a stock pedal...
