I was looking in my Wampler modding book for the BD-2 circuit analysis, when I saw that he had an interesting mod.
He took a capacitor to bridge the input and output of the pre-distortion filter so that many of the bass frequencies were left untouched thus adding an octave/fuzz effect.
It takes away a lot of the things I don't like about the Bluesdriver, it sounds thicker, less buzzy, and really lends itself to letting a single guitar fill a whole lot of sonic space for a single guitar band.
You can do this on a whole lot of pedals, sometimes with a jumper, some times with different sized caps. But I spent a good bit of time yesterday trying it on a few different pedals, and it can have some interesting results.
