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.
