I scored a first issue Small Stone on ebay and want to have some work done. Rebox, true-bypass, vol drop mod, etc. Who can work some mojo on these things? I have no idea where to even start looking.

I second that. I have a Small Stone I bought in the late '70s and a reissue Electric Mistress ,both with volume dropage and in need of true bypass.

By and far my favorite phaser, I'd like to have my Russian one given the full rebox/ TB / volume mod plus replace the colour switch with a pot and the thing would be perfect =>

Analogman will mod it for you.

I bought mine from him pre-modded and it is awesome.

Small Stone is an awesome phaser.
It's got two modes on it that really open up possibilities and the tone is really deep overall.

You could also put it and a little Danelectro graphic EQ pedal into a TBP as a shortcut.

But by all means use it if it works for you.
It's got some nice, resonant mojo.

THE MAN to work on these pedals is Howard Davis, EE. Once the full-time engineer for EH and designer of some of their best pedals, now he does all kinds of mods on EH and other pedals, but especially EH stuff. I just sent him a '77 Electric Mistress for true bypassing, LED, fix the volume drop, align the trimpots, and cosmetic reconditioning (free w/ $50 of repairs). I already have a '78 Deluxe Electric Mistress that he reconditioned and it sounds amazing, is TB, LED etc.
