A pretty cool variation of MXR Blue Box with a few extra bits and features. The only thing that is a bit unclear is the switch that selects between one octave down, 1/2 octave down and 2 octave down. Original has a 3 position slider switch but I would like to convert to a toggle … Read more

There is some odd parts in there which can easily be subbed for other values. (221ohm to 220 ohm and 4,64k to 4,7k). … Read more

If you want a bit more overall output level, 47k resistor connecting to Balance 3 could be can be replaced with a small value or a jumper. Another useful mod is to sub the germanium diodes … Read more
