If you've soldered pickups, you'd be alright. Depending on which version you have (email me a pic of the inside if you want!), it's likely as easy as moving three wires on the main footswitch. Email for details!
And yeah, Scruff could do it if you don't feel comfortable, but it's a pretty easy mod. I can send picture instructions!
Sounds like it might be just within my capabilities then - I'll drop you a photo of the innards. If it narrows it down a bit more easily you built it for me in November/December 2011. Thanks for this!

I still love it! Just changed to a really high gain frying sort of sound, so much fun.

I kinda want an Arc Flash again... I miss the ridiculous spitty sounds on the higher gain mode when the gain is maxed and it has like no attack because it's so compressed. Also all the other sounds.
