Thank you for purchasing the CS-3 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 most every capacitor in the signal path and turns the CS-3 into a serious tone machine.

There is 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 are three circuit boards. The main board in the picture, a tiny board that only houses the LED, and a board that all the pots are on. We will need to get to all three boards and you will need to remove the knobs but not the input or output jacks

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.

Some of the caps in the kit can be different from the photos, notably the 1uf caps were changed to MLCC and are not polarized like the electrolytics they replaced.

The MLCC cap values are designated with a three number code in teeny tiny characters on the cap, magnifying glass and a bright light are your friend here. First two numbers are value and the third is the decinal point. 430pf = 431, .01 = 103, .1uf = 104, 1uf = 105, etc.
