Which version? I did it with my rev J
Info here: http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/pdf ... tj_lo2.pdf
and here: http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/bom/smallvlp.txt
This is for the v3: http://www.kyletompkins.com/wp/?p=191
Schematic: http://www.kyletompkins.com/wp/wp-conte ... phaser.jpg
Resistor value colour conversion chart: http://www.elexp.com/t_resist.htm

“The mod is comprised of 2 resistor value changes. The first is changing the R6 position resistor from 5K6 to 10K. The second change is the R27 position, that changes from 2K2 to 5K6.“
“Changing R42 from a 4k7 resistor to a 10k resistor / Changing R11 from a 3k3 resistor to a 10k resistor“

R42 and R11 on the rev J board

here's a labelled pic of the rev J v2

Mine definitely doesn't look like that, so I'm gonna guess it's a modern version

Newer big box ones look wayyy different. The components are labeled on the parts side, though.

Honestly, I'd almost recommend just building an LPB-style booster and sticking it at the end of the pedal instead of that mod.

I think I might just leave it as it is, the volume has never been that much of a problem really. Either that or wait until I can pick another one up for cheap and mod that
