tried this before but i'm not sure what's not right, maybe the caps, chips and other parts from jalan pasar are just not suitable. i tried a simple distortion unit and it sounded so thin, more like a raged fuzz.... anyways maybe because i'm not electronically trained, just follow schematic.

swapping pickups, changing jacks, vol, tone etc. on the other hand is not a problem. jsut need a good soldering iron and a steady hand.

that's basically the primary principal in pedal modding but since i'm not electronically schooled, how do i know that the new parts i have are "better"? some of the classic pedals actually get their unique sounds from inferior parts and some parts are just specific to get the sound you're after like the spraque caps (orange drops) in tube amps. and anyone with leads to "better quality" parts, please share with us here.
