Just wanted to let you know.

Before you start modifying a pedal, take pictures of it if you can...

I took the OD-3 pcb out of its box, and when I began to move the pcb around 2 or 3 times (ok, it could be 5 or 6 times...), a couple of wires broke right at the solder at the jacks. Not easy to know where they are going when you don't see any bit of wire, or so little  :(

It's a luck I had these pictures  :P

Ok, I already found where they were going by looking at a few BOSS schematics I have before I remembered about the pictures. But it was nice to have to double-check what I have done.

Btw, when I did a few tests with the foot-switch disconnected (the pcb was then in another box  :wink:  with no foot-switch),  the effect was always ON, so no modification was needed to keep it ON all thre time.
