Modify a CS80... thats like giving the Mona Lisa a beard dude!
DONT DO IT! EVER!!
Having said that, i finally took my CS80 to Kent Spong for restoration a
couple of weeks back and im having a couple of Boss pedals fitted. The
onboard CS80 chorus circuit is being removed and a DC2 installed (Dimension
D) and the tremolo removed and a PH3 (Phaser) fitted...
And Kenton midi fitted of course...
Worthwhile modifications i think... :)
CS80 + DIMENSION D = FAT LUSH BASTARD SYNTH
CS80 + DIMENSION D + LEXICON 224XL = DREAMY SEX SYNTH FROM ANOTHER WORLD!
CANT WAIT to wait to get it back in a couple of months..
HI KENT IF YOUR READING THIS BTW!
