Fender Sub Lime Modifications?

[Elvis Valentine]

Howdy folks,

I was wondering if someone with a bit more electronics savvy than myself could tell me how feasable these mod ideas are to the pedal.

1 - moving the OD tone and the crossover freq controls (on the underside of the pedal and need a screwdriver to turn) to the side or the top of the pedal and putting normal pots on them so they can be used more easily?

2 - Somehow making the fuzz level (Big main dial that changes colour from green to red) controllable via a volume pedal (and maybe somehow keeping the light effect if at all possible cause its awesome lol)

There is a huge ammount of space inside this pedal and from what i can tell the first mod would'nt be too difficult. But the 2nd i have no idea about whatso ever.

Gut shot here...

I can't see from the photos but if the big knob is just a potentiometer you could wire it to a stereo jack and plug in an expression pedal with the same ratings as the knob-pot

Right ok, i dont actually know. Would that be a relatively straight forward job?

It all depends on the pot the knob is connected to. I'd open it up, expose the back of the knob and/or pot, and take a photo. Potentially it's easy, you'd just solder 3 wires to the pot and 3 to a stereo jack socket. Then you need to drill a hole for a socket and you're done.

OK man thanks. Thats all a bit beyond me but it sounds like it'd be easy if you know your way around a soldering iron. Now yo find an electronics wiz :-) cheers.

Cheers meddle, There is indeed a tonne of room inside the enclosure.
