The original TR-2 has some minor issues:
-There is a slight drop in volume when the effect is switched on.
-The rate is a little limited. It would be nice to have more of a variety of ranges of speed.
-The stock TR-2 can get a little noisy, especially when the band cranks up and you crank up with them.
Our mod takes care of those most important issues and more!
Key components are replaced with better quality metal film resistors and Panasonic capacitors, some folks refer to this as the "fidelity mod."
We have greatly reduced any unwanted noise. This TR-2 now has a fuller sound, and there is no volume drop.
Just doing these things would have been good enough. I could have gone on to my next project. But if you know me, you know I just could not bring myself to let it go there. We install two toggle switches that allow you to go beyond this pedal's normal range.
-One switch adds an extra dimension to the TR-2's depth and wave form, it works like a phat switch.
-The other switch gives you an option for faster speeds.
We also do the "flashing rate mod." This mod does not improve the sound. But your LED will now flash in time with the rate of your pedal! We also replace that dull red LED. Your pedal will flash a very noticeable blue color. If you adjust the rate for faster or slower, well then your LED will flash faster or slower. It’s not just about looking cool (it does look cool). It really does help to have a visual monitor of how fast your rate is, as well as hearing how fast it is. Your LED is set to always let you know the speed of the rate even when you are not playing.
The folks at Alchemy Audio did this video of one of our modified TR-2 pedals, use your headphones:

Most folks already know that our modified TR-2 delivers great clean sounds. But here is a little surprise demo. Check out the distortion/tremolo on these tracks I made for "Blue On Black" (Kenny Wayne Shepherd).

"Hands down one of the best TR-2 Mods around!!!"
"I can't put this thing down! I love the overall sound, and I love the variety of sounds I can get from using the two switches. Sounds great on all of my clean sounds, but it sounds great with my gain pedals also!"
