Quality workmanship, great customer service, low prices, and the sound! Nobody beats Modest Mike\'s Mods!
Several musicians have asked “Hey Mike, why don’t you modify guitar effects pedals for bass players?”
Well the truth is we have a few pedals that we have modified for bass players for a few years now. This is one of the best!
Our mod changes involve replacing cheaper factory capacitors and resistors with high quality Panasonic capacitors and metal film resistors for less noise and better tone quality. Some of the values of these components have been changed to add warmth and fullness, and to remove the shrill highs. The low mids and mids in general are improved.
I have experimented with different diodes for the clipping section, and it seems (to me) LEDs are best here.I don\'t play bass a lot, but too much clipping on the bass does not sound so great. Using LEDs in the clipping sectionyields slightly less distortion, gives a little bit of a push, and allows more of the clean tone to come through.
And of course we replaced the checkLED. This one is clear when the effect is switched off, and it is a very noticeable blue when the effect is switched on.
Absolutely fantastic! I will never be without this pedal in the future. The modifications make this pedal far more dynamic. It’s more quiet, cleaner, with a wider frequency range and more definition. It’s like having 2 to 3 pedals now in one box with different textures that are easy to dial in. This was a great purchase. I’m so happy! Thanks. 😁
