Installing Fromel Pedal Mods Boss CE-2 & CE-2B

Thank you for purchasing the CE-2 Supreme Mod Kit. After these mods you will not believe it’s even the same Pedal. Included are all the components necessary for total tone transformation, it replaces key components in the signal path and LFO to turn your CE-2 into a serious tone machine.

If you have the CE-2B you can mod it to exact specs of the CE-2

There is also a new LED to replace the red one, it will not change the tone of the pedal, just change the color of the light. The longer lead goes to the red wire.

Open up the back and take a look inside. There is the main circuit board and a tiny board that only houses the LED. There is no need to remove the jacks or pots for this Kit.

CAUTION: Read all these instructions before beginning, if you pedal is currently under warranty it will not be after these mods. This kit and the instructions do not include any warranty of any kind and you agree to hold harmless the seller of this kit against any and all claims.

After the board is exposed it’s time to start removing components and replacing them with the new ones. Make sure the battery is removed and no cables or AC- adaptors are plugged in.

NEVER heat the solder and try to pull the component out you WILL damage the PCB. Use solder wick to completely remove the solder and the component will come free easily.

All of the parts except for the LED, IC, and power supply caps in the next step are non-polarized, meaning you can put them in either direction.

If this is your first time modding a pedal you may want to replace the parts one at a time, then test the pedal. You don't need to completely put the pedal back together every time you test it as it will work perfectly fine with all the guts exposed. Some parts will have a more drastic effect than others.

If you are quite confident of your abilities you can remove all the components in one step then go through and replace them all.

The components to be changed are in the photos. Depending on which board your pedal has.

If your pedal uses an ACA 12v unregulated power adaptor remove D5 and R53 then install a jumper as pictured to change it to use a standard 9V center negative supplyThis will also make the LED a bit brighter.
