  • POLICE DISTORTION - BOSS OS-2 MODIFICATION (DIY) - with YouTube Samples

    Hey Girls and Guys,
    I wasn't here a while neither helping you with wiring diagrams nor posting any new Threads (busy, just busy), but now I am back with something (maybe) interesting.
    I would like to present you one of my DIY mods of effect pedals. This time it came to totally broken Boss OS-2 which got a second life and turned into POLICE DISTORTION.

    Why POLICE DISTORTION???

    - because I have painted it darkblue (like old European Police Cars)
    - because it has blue and red light on the top of it (which are glowing whenewer you play)
    - because if it stops you - It really stops you for days.

    Here are some photos:

    I also need to say that it has not only lightning LED DIODES but also a 1cm hill which is glowing as well.
    Why?? Because for this modification it was neccessary to make an additional layer of PCB! (Double layered electronic).
    Which I made "of course" by myself (with a small help from my colleagues)

    The hill looks like that and it glows whenever the Stompbox is ON, so that you can find it in any circumstances in darkness or at the rehersals.
    The hill is done from glass fibre reinforced polymer (the only material I had in this time).

    As you can see it is a bit higher than real BOSS Stompbox (but it has also much bigger Transistor 2n2219 and more diodes).

    Here some other photos of this Stompbox:

    Here I was thinking that this was an Andy Summers tone thread.
