okay to mod an original small stone?

[deepestend]

I just got an original EHX Small Stone in a trade (a V1). I'd like to mod it to true bypass and do the univibe mods on it. I'm wondering, though, if it's worth anything and if I should take that into consideration before doing the mods. Does anyone have any input on that?

I have seen some mods...not sure where though. Great pedal!!!

[deepestend]

Yeah, I definitely want to do the mods. I'm just wondering if it's going to kill any value on this pedal if I do them or if I should even be worried about that.

The univibe mods aren't really worth the trouble imo. True bypass is a must though.

[deepestend]

Really... why didn't you find them useful?

What about Mark Hamer's LPFilter mod... did you do that?

I am intrigued by the sound clips on the Mooseapotamus website:

If you do these mods you will bring the value down. How much? Not sure. Who cares its only $$$!!!

[deepestend]

Yeah, I'm not so worried about it. I just wanted to know if I was going to be putting holes into something special. The more I research it, though, it seems like it's not a big deal.

damn they look so much cooler than the new ones! i'd buy a new one and mod that one, do you have much experience of modding pedals?

[deepestend]

I do have experience and I think I can do it. I didn't realize that this was what I was getting till I opened the box.
