Hi guys!

I've just bought stock CH-1 and I am gonna to mod it! I will try to change C10 to a little more 47pF to 56pF and also C26/27 to 1uF - this mode is quite known - thanks to Erik's Corner site - but I have never heard moded CH-1 that way.
My question is - does anyone know any other mods on this chorus?

thanks !

The older Analog BBD version.
Or the newer Digital LSI version?

Hi leslav80 & Guys

You will probably have to learn to live with it.
Most-nearly all pedals, inc. the ones Boss are now built this way.

If you really want to get a fright, look in some of the newer COSM gear.
I guess you are more concerned about the home serviceability of the gear.
I look at it as Throw-Away-Electronics, Unless you have SMD-SMT repair tooling.

SMD-SMT is more reliable.
It's the RoHS (Lead Free Solder) CE compliance, that worries me more, in the long term.

But it won't stop me getting new pedals & other gear.

Now that I finally have one <--Little in joke here
Life (rainy days) would be difficult without my RC-2,
And it's starting to rain a lot down here.

Regards Dr. Bob
