Nobody beats Modest Mike's Mods!
The Boss TR-2 delivers a classic effect and is on many pedal boards around the world. I have heard people say
“The TR-2 is one that Boss did right.”
I still have my original TR-2 from a long time ago. I have always kept it on my board because I prefer that natural, vintage sound.  Some folks don't realize this, but in some states it's a law: If you play live gigs, you have to play at least one Creedence song :)
The original TR-2 has some minor issues:
-There is a slight drop in volume when the effect is switched on.
-The rate is a little limited. It would be nice to have more of a variety of ranges of speed.
-The stock TR-2 can get a little noisy, especially when the band cranks up and you crank up with them.
Our mod takes care of those most important issues.
You can step on it live with confidence!
Key components are replaced with better quality metal film resistors and Panasonic capacitors, some folks refer to this as the
"fidelity mod."
We have greatly
reduced any unwanted noise.
This TR-2 now has a
fuller sound,
and
there is
no volume drop.
Just doing these things would have been good enough. I could have gone on to my next project. But if you know me, you know I just could not bring myself to let it go there.
This TR-2 has
two toggle switches
that allow you to go beyond this pedal's normal range.
-One switch adds an extra dimension to the TR-2's
depth and waveform,
it works like a
phat switch.
-The other switch
gives you an option for faster speeds.
Our modified TR-2 also comes with
the "
flashing rate mod."
This mod does not improve the sound. But
your LED will now flash in time with the rate of your pedal!
Of course now it has a
new LED
and will flash a very noticeable
blue
color. If you adjust the rate for faster or slower, well then your LED will flash faster or slower. It’s not just about looking cool (it does look cool). It really does help to have a visual monitor of how fast your rate is, as well as hearing how fast it is. Your LED is set to always let you know the speed of the rate even when you are not playing.

Most folks already know that our modified TR-2 delivers great clean sounds. But here is a little surprise demo. Listen to the distortion/tremolo
on these tracks I made.
And I just can't emphasize this enough...

Q&A:
EXCELLENT demo - well done. And very professional. That kind of self promotion shows how professional
your services are. Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Blue On Black - I love it! Was that you playing over a KWS backing track?
Thanks, I actually did all of the tracks on this one. My daughter made fun of my drums.
These are customer comments from folks who have recently bought one of our modded TR-2 pedals, or have had our mod done to their pedal:
"Hands down one of the best TR-2 Mods around!"
"Hi my friend Mike..
I just got the TR-2 today... thanks a lot... I´m waiting to ebay to give me the chance to make a review...
great job and great human being.
Keep rockin' bro!"
"I can't put this thing down! I love the overall sound, and I love the variety of sounds I can get from using the two switches.
Sounds great on all of my clean sounds, but it sounds great with my gain pedals also!"
"You're the man mike! The pedal came back safe and it sounds freaking awesome!
"
Jim sent us a TR-2 and a Cry Bay wah for mods. I have not heard him play, but you should see this guy juggle!
"I applaud your work. Nice additions to the TR-2.
The wah is a huge improvement. The volume pedal addition is awesome.
Thank You So Much! I'll spread the word.
