Quality workmanship, great customer service, low prices, and
the
sound! Nobody beats Modest Mike’s Mods!
The GE-7 is actually a pretty good pedal right out of the box. For years I have studied the different mods available out there. While some services may use slightly different parts, they all pretty much do the same thing …replace capacitors and op amps to lower the noise and to improve the tone.
So, no smoke and mirrors or snake oil here! We use quality
metal film Panasonic capacitors
and
metal film resistors
when replacing cheaper components. Some components are of a different value.
We use high quality/low noise
NE5532 op amps
as replacements for the three stock op amps (the older ones actually have four), just because that is my preference.
These changes
improve
the tone
, and help to
eliminate noise
.
And of course we put in a nice bright
blue LED
…we use the “water clear” LED is clear when the pedal is off, and a nice bright blue when on. This is
great for a dimly lit stage,
but also
a bright LED is a must if you play outside gigs.
There is simply no better mod out there for the GE-7.
The result is a warmer, fuller pedal with more clarity and less noise.
*As the GE-7
slider knobs get older, a lot of them have a tendency to crack.
On some of these pedals we replace the slider knobs with a
new set of
micro-synth knobs.
Feedback
from customers who bought our modified GE-7, or had our mod service performed:
I am an audio engineer who has worked in the field of building and modifying recording studio gear. I’ve been aware of this mod to a boss eq for quite sometime. Well, the results are in. I am more impressed than I imagined for this particular pedal. It is silent. And even better, when simply used as a boost there is no aesthetic or tonal changes to your sound. I must give credit to this work well done. I will probably be a customer again. Moreover, this first result with this mod to a boss eq is absolutely phenomenal.
Thank you so much!!
I am very happy!

Tim was a little concerned about shipping his pedals:
“I’ve never done anything like this so I hope everything turns out okay.”
He sent his pedals, we had them modified and shipped in record time. We got this email from him today:
“I received the pedals earlier this week but didn’t really get to play until yesterday. And let me start off by saying the noise is gone! This is amazing, I can use the GE-7 in conjunction with my distortion and there’s no noise! And the blue led is so much better than the stock red one, no more confusing moments of “is it on or off?” And the Big Muff 9v is much more convenient for my pedal board. And a big thank you for the shipping job, you took care of my pedals better than I did lol. Thanks again Mike!”
“Just purchased one of your modified GE-7 effects pedals. After testing this bay out, I am surprised that not everyone uses an equalizer. This one
makes me wonder how I got by without it. Great pedal!

“Just wanted to say a few words about the quality of work done on my Boss GE-7.
It arrived today, so when I got home I tested it out and I’m very
pleased with the work you did. Very impressive turnaround!!!
Sonic shipping, plus very well packaged to protect the pedal from any harm.
Thank you,
Bill”
Richard bought one of our modified GE-7 pedals:
“This is the ultimate EQ, with the mod quiet and ultra responsive. Your mods rock!
From Frank:
This modified pedal was exactly what I needed to boost the lows on my Strat, and to cut a little of the high end. Thanks Mike!

Just wanted to thank you for another jewel of a pedal. This is the 2nd pedal that I have purchased from you and I couldn’t be more pleased. You have the touch for cleaning the unwanted buzz from the chain and bringing out the tone and effect that is strived for. Your work and product is wonderful thank you. I’m sure I will be back for another pedal or two.
Mike,
AWESOME!  Many thanks.  The pedal is awesome.  Do not know it’s on!  Move the slides and MAGIC! THANKS  for the customer service and turn around.   Some other guys need to take note.  Keep up the great work.
