Blue Box C11 Mod
Many players relied upon the Blue Box as an
experimental lark within that brief period when
guitar gets “boring” before you truly learn how
to play. As such, there are thousands of Blue
Boxes sitting in closets all over the world. The
main complaint when trying to revisit this unit
is that its output isn’t too high and the sound is
super compressed. We can fix that with a simple
modification.
What you’ll need: Wire clippers or
fingernail clippers, screwdrivers, pliers
The fix:
It doesn’t get much easier than
this one: remove the board from the enclosure
and locate C11 (different models will have it in
different locations). Snip it out. That’s all! Of
course, you can put this on a switch if you really
want to, but if you’re pulling this out of a closet
anyway, who cares about switching it on and off?
