Modding and Infanem Second Voice DLX (reposted from General)

[dlenaghan]

Hey all,

I wasn't sure where the best place was, it's a bit of tech, but it's about modding.. I have emailed Infanem, and I'll hear what they've got to say but the basic gist is this:
I've got a Second Voice Deluxe which I bought new, sold, re-purchased because goddamn that suboctave is meaty... But something that keeps it from being the best pedal it can be to my mind is that (if you've never used one) the general/master bypass is linked to the fuzz circuit, and the fuzz circuit has to be engaged to either of the other two footswitches to be engaged. Those are the harmony and suboctave circuit. So for example, I can have the fuzz and suboctave on at the same time, but if I want to turn off the fuzz and keep on the suboctave, I'd have to turn the fuzz knob down manually because if I turn off that master circuit, the suboctave goes off as well.

So potentially you have three parallel circuits, but it's limited because the fuzz has to be engaged because that's the master circuit.

Is there a way to re-wire the pedal to have those three separate switches operate independently? I have no experience myself with circuits, but there is a guy here in Seoul who does great work for reasonable fees, but I don't know enough about the circuit to know if it can be re-done in this way.

Any insight would be really, really welcome.
