I have a Digitech Metal Master distortion pedal. It has no gain control and the amount of gain it supplies is WAY TOO MUCH! What would I need to do in order to add a gain control? Thanks for any help.
Time/Money wise pedal making/modding isnt efficient. You really gotta pick it up as standalone hobby and invest a lot of time in it to make it work.
Going to go with wrong-o here. Great way to make a lot of money (as I'm considering doing so that I can afford the apartment I'll be moving into and finally get some real fucking monitors at my own place) with very basic work (as basic as matching colors to numbers if you buy a book or two) and KNOW MORE ABOUT SHIT. You're on a forum because you want to KNOW MORE ABOUT SHIT. Pedal modding, or more generally circuit design and application, will be a very good way of understanding how things really work and getting a great understanding of everything you use.
I'm not sure how you work but unless you come out with a 'custom' brand and made circuits yourself I'm gonna go with wrong-o on this as well. I dont know how you've set up your business, but most schematics are copyrighted designs which you can't sell for professional purposes.
Anyway, if you're (anybody but Jbroll) interested in pedal making check out the DIY stompboxes forum http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/
The main point was that learning about circuits is a great way of understanding things better. The fewer 'black boxes' (weird devices whose innards you have no understanding of whatsoever) you have, the more control you'll find yourself with.
