I did some mods to the old ds-1. Honestly I'm much happier with it now. I've never been really into the pedal, but it honestly sounds much better now.

First thing I did was go true bypass. I managed to jam a 3pdt switch in there. Need to grind down the to a little more so I can have space for the switch to reset but it's very close now, so I don't think it'll be a problem.

I won't go into detail about the mods right now, but I'm sure a couple of you will spot the changes right of the bat.

You are very welcome! :)
... but I must apologize... I didn't do those mods... my old guy memory failed me again... :-[
I have that page bookmarked and "thought" those were the mods I did....
...but I actually did the mods here...

Sounds great now!
And apologies to the OP for the sorta off topic.
Once again your mods are very cool! 8)
I never even considered doing a complete gutting of the pedal (or any commercial pedal) but now you have me thinking.... ;)
I was inspired by drolo's DOD wah pedal. The ds-1 was actually broken. Had been for over a year and I kept telling myself I'd get around to fixing it, then I remembered my homeless little Runt I bought from Denzil.
Honestly the DS-1 isn't a terrible pedal but I'd take a Rat over a DS-1 any day.
That's a nice little sleeper!
haha hilarious. great mod.
