MARSHALL JH-1 JACKHAMMER Mod

This could possibly be one of the best pedals ever made. It comes with True Bypass and a mode switch that allows you to switch between Overdrive and Distortion, this gives you two very different pedals in the same unit.

The only problem is, that many of the parts used to construct this pedal are of poor quality, this renders the Frequency and Contour controls almost useless.

The stock unit ships with three TL072 chips which always sound lifeless and regressive. It also uses 1N4148 diodes in its Distortion mode and Red LEDs in its Overdrive mode. Whilst the Overdrive mode can sound quite good with some tweaking, the Distortion mode is weak and boring. No amount of EQ or contour can help this mode. As a result, most people simply never use it.

At Von Lehmann Engineering, we started by replacing the three TL072 chips with three ‘Red Demon’ chips, this really brought the JH-1 back to life, increasing the volume and minimizing the noise.

Then we replaced the boring 1N4148 diodes and Red LEDs, giving the pedal two very different sounding modes of distortion. This turned the Jackhammer JH-1 pedal into a Distortion Monster with enough gain to make Linda Blair’s head spin.

We also replaced all the inferior parts with the highest quality available and reconfigured the EQ stages. This increases the volume and opens up the pedal to new tonal possibilities that spans from ‘Subtle Blues’ to ‘Extreme Death Metal’.

DS-1 Distortion Mods By Keeley

BOSS DS-1 Distortion Mods By Keeley Effects The SEEING EYE MOD

These are the mods that we have come up with. Mostly they try to give the pedal a more high fidelity sound and make it a little more tube like by use on one LED in the clipping section instead of two (commonly seen as a mod). We use metal film caps available from www.digi-key.com

C1, C5, C12change to 0.1uF metal film (104) C2, C8, C9, C14 change to 1uF metal film (105) C7 220pf silver mica or monolithic

In the DS-Ultra mod we change C11 to a 0.047uF metal film or better and lower R13 to 2.4Kohm. As well as changing C3 and C13 to 0.1Uf metal film or better.

D5 change to 3mm red led (the power LED that we take out!) In the D-Ultra mod we switch in another LED in series with D4.

R39 20K R14 1.5K R35 2.4K if you change the power LED to a 5mm Yellow LED

Add 47pf cap across clipping diodes, see second picture little green dot in the center. 7/64 drill bit needed to drill out 3mm LED for the SEEING EYE PART!

MARSHALL SHREDMASTER OVERDRIVE / DISTORTION

This sadly discontinued stomper is truly one of the greats and deserves a re-issue! Despite being be out of production for a number of years, this unit has always enjoyed a rabid and enthusiastic following. Typical gain and output knobs handle distortion amounts while a treble, bass, and a contour knob take care of tonal duties. The Shredmaster was alway billed as a Marshall in a box, and while this is true at some settings, the scope and range of this pedal goes far beyond than that. Mellow settings recall the glory days of Bluesbreaker-era Clapton while extreme setting pull off Radiohead-like crunch. Split the difference and you'll hear shades of everything from singing sustain of Gary Moore to the valvey bite of My Bloody Valentine. The housing is thick and sturdy and the knobs are nice and tacky. We seen a few sticky switches on a few of these old Marshalls but we always brought them back to life with a little contact cleaner.

PROCO RAT II OVERDRIVE/DISTORTION

One of the all-time classic overdrive/distortion units. Like the Tube Screamer or the MXR Distortion Plus, The Rat lays claim to it's own raunchy sonic territory that no one else can touch. Versatilty is the Rat's strong point. Backed off, the Rat cleans up nicely and breezes through chords with a light crunch while single note solo sing with a hint of grit. Pushed to the max, the Rat goes beyond fuzz with a shred-like sizzle that sustains for days. Tweaking is the key to finding your own take on the Rat sound. The Filter knob is has far reaching possibilities and you can effectively eliminate any hint of low or high-end with a twist in either direction. Our two favorite settings captured the raspy valve-crunch of the early Kinks and the saturated squash of Catherine Wheel with amazing accuracy. Quite a contrasting study in sound, but a nice example of the Rat's amazing range.

BOSS DF-2 SUPER DISTORTION & FEEDBACKER

One of the coolest noisemakers ever made. The unit is basically a Boss DS-1 Distortion with a built-in tracking oscillator circuit that hold the last note you played before activating the feedback function (holding the pedal down). This lo-fi effect allows you to capture everything from droney feedback to synth-like string sounds. This infinite sustain, although basic, is very similar to what you'd get from using an Ebow or Sustainer System. The regular distortion circuit is a fairly smooth affair with a wide range of tonal possibilities that's quite capable of nailing most middle of the road overdrive and distortion flavors. The DF-2 went through a few subtle name changes over it's 10 year production run (Super Distortion & Feedbacker to Super Feedbacker & Distortion) Whatever the name, we think it's super for both distortion and feedback!

Big Muff with Tone Wicker

Big Muff with Tone Wicker

Electro-Harmonix did it again! Introducing another original innovation for the discerning guitarist and musician…

The Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker is a great distortion/sustainer pedal that will remind you of the classic Pi with new capabilities. The distortion out of this box will expand your tonal palette to new areas. Freedom to flick the switches will result in a sonic assault onto your amp and audience.

The classic Big Muff has three buffered filter locations that roll off some of the higher frequency distortion. This is one of the components that give the Big Muff its smooth violin-like sustaining sound. This is preserved in the new Tone Wicker model and a new switch is provided that can defeat all three of these roll-offs. This gives the Big Muff a more slicing, gutsy tone, while still preserving its famous super-long sustain.

The second option is another switch position that completely bypasses the tone control. This flat response opens a much fuller, richer tone that guitarists love.

ELECTRO-HARMONIX BIG MUFF PI DISTORTION RUSSIAN

After a long absence, Electro-Harmonix jumped back into production with this army green Big Muff Russian-made re-issue. While it’s not an exact sound-a-like to the classic Muffs of yesteryear, this one stands up fairly well. You’ll still get that warm singy sustain with an overdose of harmonics, but this one falls a little short in terms of overall musicality and dynamics. If you’ve had the pleasure of playing through an original, or the USA reissues, you’ll get the picture. The plastic input and output jacks don’t exactly instill confidence so be sure to baby this thing onstage or in transit. The stomp switch is huge and easy to find on dark stages but may take some getting used to as it only engages the effect as you are lifting OFF of the switch. With those small gripes, it’s still a fantastic deal at around $50.00, just do a little demoing before actually buying.

ELECTRO-HARMONIX BIG MUFF PI DISTORTION USA

Modern day distortion converts may associate this box with the buzz-saw crunch of bands like The Smashing Pumpkins and Dinosaur Jr but the classic Big Muff sound IS the the sound of the 70s. From that midly distorted Satana-like sustain to the flat wooly fuzz of Thin Lizzy, this box practically defined the guitar sound of a decade. It’s an unmistakable sound with its’ rich harmonic overtones, string-like sustain, and “she’s breaking up” quirkiness. Numerous versions of Silver Box Big Muff PI exist in the form of the older Series 1, Series 2, Series 3 models all the way to the newer NYC Re-issues. The overall sound, components, and quality vary a bit from version to version so shop around for one that suits your style. Also be sure to take the time to fine tune the Big Muff, as it can produce everything from boomy low-end to bee-swarm treble and everything in between.

BOSS CH-1 SUPER CHORUS

Billed as a ?ĺContemporary Chorus?Ĺ, this Boss unit seems to either hated or loved by chorus freaks out there. While it?Ĵs doesn?Ĵt have nearly as much warm personality as the older Boss CE-1 or CE-2 chorus units, it?Ĵs still a pretty decent pedal that provides a very light, transparent, and watery sounding chorus. I?Ĵm sure 80?Ĵs cover bands, R n?Ĵ B types, and sensitive new agers will dig the pristine sounds of the CH-1. It really does seems to perform best when played through bright amps and clean guitars. The addition of an EQ knob racks up a few bonus points for tonal manipulation and should appeal to the all-around gigger. Because of it?Ĵs ultra smooth sound, we?Ĵve seen the CH-1 in many keyboardists rigs over the years. This goes without saying, but running the CH-2 in stereo is a true treat and should impress even the most jaded gear snobs.

BOSS DD-3 DIGITAL DELAY

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay - The DD-3 is by far the most popular digital delay box in all of pedal history. I?Ĵd go so far as to say its?Ĵ pristine delays have been repeated on more stages than any other echo device. This box is everything you?Ĵd expect from a hard-working digital delay unit. You?Ĵll get super clean repeats with no coloration, perfect decays, and enough delay times to create everything from short ?ĺbathroom wall?Ĺ slapbacks to long cascading patterns. The same 3 “easy-as-pie” parameters you?Ĵll find on most Boss delays is here: delay time, feedback, and level. There is also a fourth “mode” knob that adjusts the delay time range and also switches the unit into “hold” (infinite repeat) mode for sampling snippets of solos or riffs. For an all-around delay box you can?Ĵt really go wrong with the DD-3 unless, of course, your expecting it to sound like an analog delay.

BOSS SD-1 SUPER OVERDRIVE

Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive - This classic overdrive has been in the Boss lineup since the early days and continues to impress players everywhere. This SD-1’s realistic crunch and aggressive bite sounds like a meaner Tube Screamer yet still maintains sonic stability while strumming through complex chords or busting out double note work. The best thing about theSuper Overdrive is the wide range of drive adjustment. Cranked to the absolute limit, this will take you to the edge of tube-like disintegration but also rolls off to give you nothing but a clean boost. You can’t get much more versatile than that in our overdriven minds. We’ve sampled the earlier models of the SD-1 and haven’t noticed a bit of difference between them and the newer models. With all the fancy fuss over boutique overdrives these days, it’s nice to know you can pick up a pedal for under $50.00 and get down to business.

BOSS DS-1 DISTORTION

This cute orange pedal has been in steady production since 1978 and I can certainly see why. It?Ĵs definitely one of the more versatile rock and roll gadgets ever made. I?Ĵve seen these on the pedals boards of jazz guys, punk rockers, blues hounds, metal heads, and it never ceases to amaze me how different this pedal can sound through ever single rig. The DS-1 has a incredible range of sound and with a bit of knob turning can coaxed from a clean boost all the way to molten metal. The DS-1?Ĵs ability to transform itself to suit many styles has made it a very appealing box for the likes of Nirvana, Ride, and Joe Satriani. As with a lot of Boss pedals, try seeking out a the earlier Japanese models as they are considerably smoother sounding than the later, transistorized sounding, Tawainese models.
