Over Christmas I installed mods in a few pedals.
Firstly I put a Monte Allums kit into a Boss Metal Zone. It's completely changed the character of the pedal. I really like it now and it works well with my Magnum 44 due to all the EQ options.
Secondly, and more importantly, I put the Stinkfoot mods into my Crybaby. I've never been happy with the Crybaby, it always sounded anaemic. I converted it to true bypass and added a yellow fasel to it previously. Those things helped, but basically I still never touched the thing. The Stinkfoot mods seems to be very similar to other Crybaby mods. I only changed three resistors. Now it has the right sound -
More grit and a aggression to it. The sound is a bit fuller, there is a little more gain and the Q is tighter. It's definitely the characterful wah sound I wanted all these years.
I've been wahing like a crazy man since Christmas!

I have heard that the modded Metal Zone is great. Any chance of a sound clip?

As an experiment, I just tried running it straight into a desk via my Palmer Bonamassa speaker sim. Sounds more than usable. Very good even. I'll have a stab at recording something.

Here you go. Guitar -> Modded Metal Zone -> Palmer PDI03 JB -> DAW
I hate recording clips, but despite me recording the first thing that came into my head mistakes and all, I think you'll find it sounds fine.

Yeah, sounds very good!
