LM-2 Limiter
- VR-5 Feedback. Might be OK to adjust without a scope. No service notes available, so set-point and effect of adjusting unknown.
- VR-6 Threshold trim. Should be OK to adjust without a scope.
interesting, although I don't think I'll be messing with it, LM-2 is perfect at what it does. I wish the CS-3 had the trimpots,

I received a TW-1 this week and when I opened it to clean it I saw that it has a trimpot like so many other BOSS pedals. I thought that we could list all the BOSS pedals with internal trimpots and sum up what they affect. And we can highlight those that can be tweaked by any user (like the BF-2's feedback trimpot to make the flanger self-oscillate) and also those that require higher technical skills and/or an oscilloscope, etc.

I will put all the information in the first posting. Thanks in advance for all your help! :D
Excellent idea!

I recall a TW-1 sounding weak until a wee twist then it was gold. Well worth the effort :)

Boss DM-2W trimpot

The Boss DM-2W also has tiny tiny trimpost on the pack of the main pcb. The one labelled "VR13" controls max delay time and can easily be adjusted.

Welcome to the forum and thanks a lot for the information! :)

EDIT: I have just updated the list on page 1. I suppose that the sound of the delay has a lo-fi sound with a lot of artifacts if you increase it a lot?
