Hey guys I wanted to know if it would be a good Idea to mod the switching circuit on a Boss TU-2. Like most people on the forum I like Boss pedals but hate some things about boss' switching circuit. One reason I am asking is because I am not sure if the impedance of the buffer effects the tuning circuit.

     I just finished modding my Boss ds-1 using the mods on the fuzz central site and it sounds a lot better. On the fuzz central mod they recommended adding a larger resistor in the switching circuit to improve it. It seemed to help.

    Another question I have is. Does it matter if you mod the switching circuit if you have a chain of boss pedals some with the mod and some without. Will the unmoded pedals " bog down" the moded ones.

 The last question I have is does any one know what resistor needs to be changed in a TU-2 and a CS-2 to improve the switching circuit? If not do you know a place I can find out which one it is or where I can how to find the right resistor?

     I am a newbie and appreciate any help. Thank You!
