ej hoi,

vanuit het "zelfbouw metal-distortion stompbox"- topic kwam ik tegen de Boss MetalZone Keeney Twilight mod tegen. Ik heb nu al een tijd gesearched en gegoogled, maar kan niets anders vinden dan wat reclame van keeney zelf en enkele reviews.

Heeft iemand dan ook enige info over deze mod, zodat ik dit zelf kan uitvoeren? Ik zoek bv gemodde schema's, vervanglijsten, onderdeel lijsten, berekeningen, waveforms etc etc. Heeft misschien een gemodde MT2 en kan er zijn/haar mening over geven? De bedoeling is dat ik wat wil proberen om wat van dit pedaaltje te maken. Ik vind het een nare distortion hebben, heel hard (en niet qua volume) in het hoog gebied, lijkt ook een constante oscillatie te zijn in het hoog, net zoals een wah die staat op de treble kant. Maar vanwege de equalizer en de lage prijs heb ik er een gehaald toen ik nog op saaie versterkers speelde en heb hem nog steeds omdat het altijd makkelijk is om een distortion pedaal achter de hand te hebben.

Wat houdt de mod eigenlijk in?
Van een site de lijst met features:
There is nothing apocryphal about wanting to be an all-out-rocker, harmonics swinging from your strings like Tarzan!
Need something way more than distortion? Bass as hard as nails, very flexible EQ, and dark, heavy distortion with this pedal! Dial in Mids and bass response to suit your style of Metal, thrash, grunge or PUNK!

There's no need to perorate, pontificate, or bombast you with details, this pedal is a Bomb Blast of metal tone...enough to lay waste to the first 12 rows of any concert!

This is a complete Hi-fidelity upgrade! There's nothing like a heavy distortion channel that is produced well!

Features

-It's hard to improve a hammer right? Well that is what Keeley was faced with. The MT-2 is like a hammer, so they had to work on details. What separates great metal bands from bland ones? Sometimes it's the fact that the production and sound quality are awesome! That is what Keeley wanted. They wanted a metal pedal that had an Aural exciter built in. They wanted that "metal tone to die for" in a box!
- Increased fidelity leads to better bass response and less harsh upper high-frequency. Translation: Bass that punches below the belt!
Using their Boss schematic they were able to find every harsh sounding cap and replace it with audiophile grade parts that let the midrange sparkle and breathe. The increase in presence is just what people need to take their tone off the edge. Your fans will appreciate you ditching the low-fidelity blanket over your amp sound!
- 3-Way LOCKING Toggle Switch added to unit to give you a sweet volume boost and a fatter tube like circuit designed into it! It Locks, It Rocks, you can even spill beer on it! It's water proof! Schwing!!!
-The Toggle switch gives you three different distortion types. Couldn't talk Soldano out of using tubes right?!?! So what keeley did was create two different tube amp characteristics and make them available through a toggle switch. Each of the two modes (switch to the right and to the center) has tube amp characteristics like huge power, increased harmonics, and better transparency.
-Critical capacitors were replaced with silver mica so that only the smoothest rounding of tones would occur. Previously used by audiophile snobs only, now available for you to hammer with!
-Blue LED, what the heck else?!?!? ;-)
