Super easy.

See the schematic here. There are 2 input caps in parallel, C1 and C2. When the switch is closed, both caps are used (added together) to allow more bass into the circuit and get a fatter sound. When the switch is open only the upper cap is used (skinnier). This mod can be done to EVERY guitar pedal because they all have an input cap that works the same way. Good luck!
