Anyone have any mods for this pedal?

I guess I'll have to figure this one out for myself.

  Never tried...thought about ...
  THe Mix knob.
  If it's a pot, which it seems to be, having a switch that increases the echo-verb amount by 20%? or more would be a nice addition.
  I think I'd find the ability to switch from 'backbeat echoverb' [iow a little bit in the mix] to heavier, thicker echoverb for sustaining solos or other application...more usable/desirable than what the pedal's switch actually does...switch to buffered bypass from whatever echoverb setting. That way I could just leave it on for the reverb, to thicken rythms or other playing without too much mud, then hit the switch for thich echoes...just for a little while...Most of the time I only want thick heavy echo for a 'Cameo', and want to go right back to mild echoverb...
  I'd think it'd be pretty easy to add a resistor or other pot to the mix pot to get what I'm describing, as far as schematic wise, but as far as fit it in the box is another story.

Brian Wampler of Indyguitarist said this one is a pretty tough cookie to crack.  But I'm sure if we put our heads together we could come up with something.  If anyone has any ideas or input it would be welcome.
Thanks.
