Anyone do this..have this done for them on their BF-2?

Satisfied with results? At less than $20 sounds like a pretty good deal.......

I haven't done it, but Fromel is a good guy, so it's worth a gamble IMO.

it seems really intresting so if anyone has done this then please get back. its lets then 20 to do it yourself or about 50 to have them do it. if its worth then they can mess with it since i know little to nothing of modding pedals myself.

Bumping to see if any one has had this done. I have a BF-2 that I love, and have played around with the RES internal trimpot to get a really silky sound. BUT, if either the Pedalhackers mod or the Fromel mod makes it sound "better," I have some spendin' to do...

I did the Fromel mod to my BF-2B; dunno if I heard "what I was supposed to" but it sounded cleaner and "thicker" to me.

Took about an hour; worked slow and the directions were easy. Be patient.

As stated earlier, only $20, give it a shot. It definitely did not sound worse.

Could you tell a difference in the mix during a live setting? I know if it ain't broke, don't fix it...but I always think if I can fandangle a better sound, then do it!
