I'm experienceing the need for more output level on my AC2. Am I correct in assuming that I can achieve this by lowering the value of R21? I would simply try it, but my AC2 isn't with me right now and I wanted to verify with someone with a bit more knowledge before I drag my pedalboard home from the rehearsal studio.

Nevermind. Finally got the AC2 home and opened it up... All the resistors are miniature surface mounted pieces. I'm not touching it.

Those suck.
You need a super fine solder iron tip and a magnifying glass to do any work on them. Most newer pedals uses this design.
Makes it harder to backwards engineer or modify them and they can put more components than a super computer inside a pedal.

I was really amazed at the way the parts were laid out inside the thing. It really does look like some sort of computer-type thing. Amazing what they can fit in those little boxes!
