Boom shakalaka muthafucka

It gets crazier by 27 factorial. :omg:

Makes me feel like modding my momentary footswitch to be a killswitch that leaves the input open

DO IT. Or drill a new hole for that switch, I quite like the momentary one. :S

I NEVER use the momentary switch man =( I'm trying to figure out the switch wiring, it seems pretty funky. Hey wait I thought you sold your's?

Damn shame. I'm leveling small building with mine. Stuck a compressor after to tame/thicken the drones. It's pretty damn essential in my rig

if you're gonna do mods i'd say go for adding a simple toggle. there should be enough room in there. just split the in and send jacks to a spst switch and yr good to go.

just a friendly reminder. mods void yr lifetime warranty.

maybe i should offer this as a mod?

what's a fair price?

I waited till the first run of the 4 track minds came out and jumped on it immediately because of the momentary footswitch and expression options. But the momentary footswitch wasn't really as useful as I thought, and I don't use the expression control nearly enough to make room for an extra jack on my crammed board.

I understand that it'll void the warranty, but it seems fairly sturdy and I'll be keeping this for a long time so it's just some personalization for my needs.

Mods I've got in order are
1. Dry kill/open jack switch that'll replace the momentary footswitch. Maybe I'll rig a mini toggle to toggle between open jack and normal killswitch with the signal grounded.
2. Dropping a Barber buffer just after the return jack. My pedal in the loop leaks DC and causes everything to pop. Turns out a buffer after solves that. And if I replace the buffer's level trim with a full sized knob, I can get even more insane feedback.

Honestly, first and foremost a passive level/master volume knob would be really useful for most people, and a dry kill/open jack mod would squeeze every bit of goodness outta this baby.

Maybe have a level control standard issue and $10-$15 for the toggle mod? Seems fair :idk:

I agree with a volume control.

by your name here
Me too. I think I'll wait on buying an Utter Stutter until this happens. It's just too good of an idea, not to.
