Gear Modifications

Why modify gear? There are many reasons people choose to modify commercial musical gear. Upgrading internal components like capacitors and op-amps can clean up the overall sound. Likewise, providing a cleaner power supply can reduce hum and increase headroom, and help add fullness to the low end. Adding extra controls and patch points to an analog synthesizer can yield a much more expressive instrument, and allow you to interconnect it with your other gear. Who can do these modifications? If you have any electronics ability, modifying your own gear can be a very satisfying experience. You don't need to be an expert to crack open your equipment and start making changes. You basically need the ability to solder and desolder neatly, and you should be comfortable reading schematics. With very little electronics experience, I've been able to modify several pieces of equipment. WARNING: If you're unsure of what you're doing, it is VERY POSSIBLE to damage your gear. My modifications are listed here for reference only, and I assume NO LIABILITY for any damage or malfunction you cause. Gear I've modified:
