hello eveyone! i wanted you all to know of some mods i came upon on the BOSS ODB-3. i tried it on my own that i bought at a pawnshop and it works great not just a bunch of noise anymore!! it's smoother has less overdrive (if you want that of course) more fullness and warmer also!! let me know if anyone's interested  |

| | | | yea man that's exactly what i meant sorry if i wasn't clear on what i tried to say!! OK here they go!! you change location C10 to 1uf or 2.2uf to add mids,warmth and fatness, C8 to .001uf to remove highs that make your ears bleed,and D2,D3 to 1n4148 this will yield less distortion and allow more clean tone coming through, and a little smoother!! let me know if this makes any sense!! it help get me closer to tim C. sounds from audioslave!! that boost with a little bit of overdrive but still full and articulate |

| | | | I'm giving it a go but can't find 1uf or 2.2uf, .001uf and 1n4148 everything seems to have a letter b4 it or are you soldering them into the blank holes??

| | | | Hate to bring the bearer of bad news, but the persons book, part of which you illegally posted here, is copyrighted, & thats how he makes his living. Its cheap enough where anybody can buy a copy. I suggest the mods remove this post.

| | | | Your right, circuits would be covered by patents. Even those are only good for so many years, to cover the costs of development. You would have to buy the original pedal to reverse engineer it. Even then, I'm sure you know, some companies are famous for that & are in the process of court battles. I'm sure patents & copyrights are considered two different things. Now if you come up with your own mod to change/improve the sound for the same circuit, fine. But you start making quotes nearly word for word from copyrighted material your opening yourself up for a potential lawsuit.
