Any Small Clone love here?

Post by nbabmf »

I just traded for a brand new one, and got right under the hood as soon as the guy left!

Image

I didn't really see the point in only having two depth settings (and neither did the guy in the link below), so I added a pot to control the depth. That left the switch doing nothing, so I used it to kill the dry signal for a pitch vibrato mode. I'm going to drill another hole and put another pot in to control the depth of an optical tremolo piggybacked off the existing LFO. WORD.

You can do it, too.

Awesome,
I just got a small clone used, I will have to try that.

I may just add the depth knob and leave the switch out all together, not to concerned with the other mods/
Should I be?

Nice work, Nick.

I've been tempted to get a non-Nano Small Stone and mod it so that it's closer to a Whetstone.

I have a cloned Small Clone from a builder here in NY with a full ranged depth pot instead of the switch. Definitely nice to have. Sounds great! Those other mods sound awesome I bet.

Me too! Like add switches to remove stages and whatnot. Then I can get that beastly green box off my board.
