FWIW, if you have a BD-2 and you're not completely satisfied with its tonal characteristcs you can tweak it a bit modifying the 'tone stack simulator' that the pedal circuit has. With the Duncan Amp Tool it's possible to know what ckind of influence the part of the circuit has
The component you can modify are C26, R37, R38, C34, C35, R50 and R51.
If you want for example a stronger mid you can increase R51, for less shrilling highs, lower R37 and so on.
It works, I put a 180K as R37 and a 22K for R51 and part of the harshness has gone.

Thanks thats useful info, I dont have a BD2 but I recall trying one for a few daysand felt that it was somewhat harsh and brittle sounding in some ways so this may go some way to improving it
