A very simple mod to compensate for the drop in volume on the BOSS TR2 pedal. After the C4 mod, the TR2 sounded a little harsh and a bit rigid ( I am a bit loss of words in terms of describing the sound here). I kind of like the sound. And the perceived drop in volume is not so much distinguishable.
There's a lot of instruction floating around and I just thought this one might also be useful and helpful for those who are visual learners. Kudos for Little_Buster for providing the instruction.
If you have tried this mod, let us know what you think of the new sound or the drop in volume.

Yo, just did the mod. Totally solves the drop in volume problem. Do you know anything about the PH-3? The drop in volume on it drives me crazy.

I do not know any issues with regards to drop volume on the PH3. I've been wanting to buy pedal but it it has volume loss when engage I guess I will stay away from it. Anyone else have issues on the PH3 volume loss? Yo, Thanks for the FYI.

I love the pedal. The volume drop bugs me but you can work around it. I usually just hit my drive when I hit the phaser. If you get one get an expression pedal to go with it. Very much worth it.

I have the digitech Phaser but love the boss expression pedal feature on the PH3. Searching for one on ebay at the moment. You can try placing a compression pedal on your board just to even out all the volume--see if that one works. Or you can always use an equalizer and slide the volume up a bit.

Oh yeah, The newer TR-2's dont have the same circuit board as yours, which means they have no C4 capacitor. Cheers, Buster

Well thanks for the info. I wonder if the newer ones still have the same problem as with the old one trem.

FYI: If you run a compressor before all your pedals, you wont hear a volume drop when you engage this pedal with the mod.
