My FIRST Mod ever, started when I was a teenager. Money was never plentiful in my home growing up, and 9V batteries might as well have been made of gold. they seemed so expensive to a kid that earned $4/wk mowing lawns, so I modded the first pedal I ever owned: a MXR Distortion+. It had a hole in it where someone had tried to put in a dc jack ( 1/8" phone ) so I simply added a power jack to it, in parallel with the 9V connector leads. I saved a wall wart from something ( I still save wall warts to this day, but now I sort them ) and used wall current to power it. I got this used somewhere around 1980. I never noticed before, but look at the recessed MXR Script logo on the back cover.
