Im trying to find a site to help someone look for a way to modify their crybaby, get a hold of of a KLON etc, he tells me there where sites that people shared schematics, parts, sold traded etc, but they all shut down.

Does anyone know of a site that has a community like this to avoid buying brand names or modify them?

most mods on pedals are done not packaged and sold. Josh Scott at JHS has a nice series on youtube called Short Circut where he shows you how to do mods to pedals to make pedals and general theory about different effects circuits and offer a buy list of thing you need to do the job check that out also if you want a Klon just buy JHS notaklon its the same circuit accept you have to put it together its 100 buck and dead easy to do

also tdpri (its an acronym for god only knows what) has a pedal forum( board has been around since before electricity was a thing, so its a good place to search for old posts especially opinions on mods and pedals etc.

and the internet archive has some good stompbox resources

pro modder tip, when soldering your pedal, always hold the colder end of the solder iron. if you've got a nose
for pedals you can often smell the flesh burning before you notice your fingers feel like napalm.

the groupdiy forum has a lot of schematic and build information available

 

Jo$h nerdy $cott also sells mods worth $25 for $250, im trying to find people who are willing to sell me pedals for cost and some work they did, not at the same price as Friedman etc

 

For crybaby :
https://reverb.com/fr/item/63683264-crybaby-vox-wah-instant-mod-drop-in-kit
https://www.wah-wah.co.uk/diy.html

Those websites can be hard to find because of GOOGLE. It pushes paid full products first.

For KLONE, just buy it on Aliexpress :
