Modded tr-2s

If I'm going for a simple mod like fixing the volume drop and changing its tone I'll just go for fxdoctor.

What I'd really love is a messed up mod with a bunch of options, anybody have one?

there are some really easy mods you can do yourself (if you can solder or know someone who can do it for you).

if you change just 3 resistors you can fix the volume drop (which the newest ones don't suffer from iirc), change the waveform (make it stronger or weaker) and change the range of the speed control (highest speeds can get ringmod-ish, but you lose the slower speeds).

i've done all of these before and it literally is just 10mins work.

i've got a TR-2 at the moment to which i've done the volume and waveform mods and am planning to do the speed mod - this time using a toggle switch so i can have slow and fast.

instead of the toggle switch you should try and add a switch to ramp from slow to fast! :poke:

Of course there's Keeley, but I've been looking at a few places to get my Phase 90 and TR-2 modded to see if I should keep them around. Check out this guy, nice and cheap and to the point:


 

 

i've heard bad things about that guy, no personal experience...

Is that right? Hrmmm... strange.

 

Really all a TR-2 needs is a volume knob, a pulsating LED, and some higher quality guts. I just read up on the Analogman site, his mod sounds great.

The TR-2 sounds great.

I'd say the biggest thing is--get the volume drop fixed.

Everything beyond that is just a bonus.



:thu: that's all true.
i sold my Semaphore because i prefer the TR-2.
