I got this modded at JHS mods. It is really easy to use. I mean you have level, tone, and gain. Then i got a fuzz switch added and a bass boost. I normally keep to gain low and the level 12 or higher. This gives me a nice warm sound and some break up.

Gibson LP standard<bd modded<ernie ball volume<boss dd6<ehx holy grail<badcat tonecat. The blues driver sounds great, especially low gain. At high gain it sounds pretty good, but better low gain. I also like it to boost my amp. When I do that it sounds awesome.

Reliability : No Opinion

This is a standard blues driver with the Monte allum h2o plus mod. Replaces several capacitors, some diodes and the op amp with a burr brown. If you have electronics experience the mod is not that hard to do. Just do one mod at a time then test.

I make and play custom guitars, mainly teles. This unit is used to add a rough edge to the sound. The unmodded unit was very sterile sounding and a little noisy. The mod makes this thing sing. Responds very much like a slightly overdriven amp. The pedal is very transparent as well. The sterility went away and it is very smooth, it was hard to put the guitar down. I just kept cranking up my peavey. Even at full gain the pedal was very articulate. didn't get all fuzzed out like a lot of grit pedals do. The mod helps the tone knob function a lot better too. Awesome mod, good job Monte!

Reliability : No Opinion

Since modding this pedal, I've wanted to purchase a keeley modded BD to see how they compare, couldn't imagine it being better. The price of the mod is very reasonable, and all the info that comes with it are great. This is a more difficult mod than some of his others, but the sound is well worth it.
