Easy depth control mod for the Electro-Harmonix Small Clone EH 4600 Full-Chorus pedal 

Just wanted to thank you for this video. Just did the depth mod on my small clone and it works marvelously.

Thanks for this video, I always wanted to mod my Clone... Sounds really nice but controls are too limited.

hey i was lookinng at the schematic and everything and waas looking at some layouts where the mod is already present in the circuit, and I was thinking of using a 10k pot and removing the resistors on board and keeping the switch.. your mod however is more practical and doesnt require drilling a hole anywhere. but I just wanna know why you chose a 50k pot. is it to ensure that you cut the signal entirely without having to do math and/or does the value effect the sweep? did you use and logarithmic or linear? Does that also effect the sweep... I would think linear would give a fuller sweep right?

I tried it once and swiched back to the original. Why? Because the Small Clone's depth circuit was designed to work specially in an open state to achieve a full chorus effect, considering the closed state (shallow depth) as a bonus. A maxed potentiometer is not the same as an open switch, as it grounds a little the signal and ends up reducing the depth amplitude. The result is a reduced sweep that affects the Small Clone's characteristic woosh and/or shimmer for the worst, due to the reduced depth range.

dude...this made my day!!!!!!!!!

You could have used the switch to cut out the clean signal, making it a chorus/vibrato.

Thanks, Dave! Do you have a recommendation for where/from whom to buy a potentiometer? Would like to try it. Getting into modding pedals, and also repairing/modding old stereo gear, and this would be a good, easy practice project.

What size LED is the stock red LED on a small clone? I want to swap it out for a blue one but idk what size LED I need

Could someone please tell me the ampage of the original switch?

Hi Dave. I’m going to try to do this mod. Will an alpha 16mm 50k linear work? Will it fit through the slot that the depth toggle switch was removed from? Thanks.

I do it everything like you but now the depth is always on. Any idea about what could be wrong?

wait but i wanna hear the sound! you should really test it for us, to see

50k. Linear or log.? Thank you.

Makes fuck all difference at all...

How to make your small clone look messy with no sound difference at all..silly idea...
