 To much low end what can be changed?

You could try looking at the schematic here for how to implement a low-cut switch.

hi; i don't know if you are still looking for suggestions? and i assume that your zvex has a pcb that is easy enuff to work with. But a simple and inexpensive way to reduce low hz is to use smaller value caps. You could try reducing the value of the coupling cap C6. that is a polarized cap so replace with something that has positive and negative leads and try one that is at least 1/2 the value of the 1 uf cap.

OJ is correct but not the only way, just the easiest however an electrolytic is not needed and in fact shouldn't be used anyway. I hate e-lytics in the signal path and they are way too high in value anyway. They are only used in mass produced pedals because they are much less money to use.
