The Ibanez Mostortion is a favorite overdrive of mine.
#Xact tone solutions mods#
Also added, was an LED indicator light as there isn't one stock on the pedal and everyone needs to know when our pedals are on or off, right!? The BFD Tremolo is a dark star in the world of tremolo pedals and having these mods from XTS really help the pedal be the best it truly can be. XTS replaced the switch and the pedal can be placed anywhere in a system without any worry. Another issue with the original pedal is the non true-bypass switch which creates all sorts of problems with other pedals and the entire signal as a whole. The pedal now can hit unity or above unity volume and still sounds incredible. There is a little more loss of volume than other tremolo pedals, and having XTS adds a non-intrusive buffer circuit that doesn't completely alter the tone, but allows you to fine tune the "headroom" of the circuit. This is a common occurrence with tremolo pedals due to the perceived loss of volume that happens when the signal wave is raised and lowered, thus creating the tremolo'd effect. Firstly, there is a volume drop when you click the pedal on. There are unfortunately a few caveats with the simple design and it's performance in the "real world". The circuit itself inside the pedal is very simple - which is an attest to it's pure and rich tone. They can however be found from time to time on the used market. The BFD is a slightly rare pedal in that it's no longer manufactured and Vintage Technologies is no longer around. The way it pulses, undulates and moves the air beneath your note is remarkably close to the real deal. The BFD is unique to most tremolo pedals in that it sounds so incredibly close to a real amplifier's tremolo circuit. The BFD Tremolo is a personal favorite and recommendation from my friend David Phillips at LA Sound Design, another incredible rig building company here in Los Angeles. Most often players will seek out the type of mods XTS do for the sake of functionality, improving the way a piece works within a rig and how the it effects the system as a whole. At the moment, I've got three pedals that Barry and crew have done their magic modifications to.
