BOSS OC-2 synth mod with sound clips

[sillyfabe]

Made a video for clips/destroying speakers

Try it through overdrive and distortion. Gives you lots of different usable tones besides the regular 'ole OC-2 into Mammoth/Oxide/Brown Dog/etc.

Oh trust me I do! Here are the fuzzes/dirt I use:

Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz
Wooly Mammoth Clone
EHX Russian BM
Way Huge Swollen Pickle
Fender Sub-Lime
Tech 21 Red Ripper

I love me some fuzz!

I also run it into a BSY-600 to fatten it up even more!

If you want to fix the reversed-ness of your mod simply swap the two leads you soldered to the board at R47 and R50. That should fix your problem so the controls remain logical.

Will do! Thanks!

Thanks gastric the switcharoo did the trick! Had r47 mixed with r50, took 3 min to fix

You should link your video in the other two synth mod YouTube videos.

What do you mean by this?

 

[gastric]

Go to the guitar synth mod videos and post yours as a "video response" that way whenever someone's viewing those they get to see yours listed. I've never done it personally. But you see them on the site all of the time.

 

[sillyfabe]

It's not letting me comment and the related videos thing is based of "certain factors" per the site but whatever! I'm gonna do another video with cleaner audio and the now correctly modded pedal

 

[gastric]

Hows that new vid coming along?

 

[sillyfabe]

Oh I spaced it I'll do one by end of tonight

 

[gastric]

Finally got some toggles on hand and installed them on my two OC-2. The Japanese box can support toggles installed near the power jack, the Taiwan box can support toggles on top near the OCT1/2 controls. Now you can select factory or squarewave sounds for each OCT1/2 individually for maximum sounds.

How do we do that fr the original?

I simply used two SPDT switches (3 contacts) that way each OCT1 and OCT2 can run off their own switch independently.

If you opt to use a single DPDT switch you're basically getting two SPDT switches but they work off the same toggle, thus both OCT1 and OCT2 are being toggled simultaneously.

You can use a DPDT swith as a SPDT, just wire only one half of it. DPDT isn't that much more expensive than the SPDT so it's not particularly wasteful.

That's the only functional difference.

Wiki has a great illustration and description of these switches: Switch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[sillyfabe]

I'm gonna do it because I love switches!

Thanks and thanks! I can't solder for nothing but if you just sit down it can be done easily!

I can do it for anyone (Taiwan ONLY) either with one DPDT or 2 SPDT switches if you send it to me and pay for shipping both ways and maybe 5.00 for parts?
IF I MESS IT UP THEN SORRY NO RETURNS! But I'm very confident and have done it 3 times now....
