Can you link us up with schematics for these mods?
No schematic for the mods per say. LPB was just a bog standard LPB (http://aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/ ... 2.GIF.html) added before the BMP, clean blend is a Buff'n'Blend (http://www.diystompboxes.com/wiki/index ... ff_N_Blend) with the BMP permanently wired in as the effect.

Thanks! I think that's just what I'm after.

Just finished this one, a clone of a Voodoo labs Sparkledrive (basically a tube screamer with a blendable clean boost). I had wanted to use cream knobs for a classier look but the ones I've got are too big. ANyways here it is:

That sounds like my kind of pedal. I might just add it to the long list.
update... whacked the zendrive through the jansen last night and it wasn't as saturated at all as my test amp. could be an amp sensitive pedal? still a reeeally nice OD with a good range of voices, just not as high gain as I first thought on my ruby.

Being high gain surprised me as it is a low gain OD. Its brother the mosferatu (?? Is that how you spell it) Is a high gain version of the Zendrive. There isn't much difference between the Zendrive and Mosferatu so it would be an easy mod to get the Zendrive doing high gain.

Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.
