General Questions / Upcoming DS1 mod-apolooza...
Last post by greysun - December 27, 2025, 10:11:04 PMHi everyone! I'm finally taking the old DS1 that was my very first pedal and that I have always despised and throwing the book at it...
Plan to do the seeing eye mod based on the PDF below (2nd to last page), and will test out some values from evil distortion or tube emulator (first page). (I found the attached PDF online and now can't find where from - please raise your hand if it's yours and I'll give credit!).
I also watched a YouTube vid where c3 was replaced with a higher value cap (somewhere around .5u to 1u) to change it into a fuzz, which I'm VERY interested in.
I'm thinking to incorporate a few switches, if I'm able - a toggle to activate the synth mods (pages 5, 6 and 7), which I'll manage with a separate on/on/on, and another toggle possibly for the fuzz vs. DS1.
I'll rehouse the whole thing into a new 125B (or at least attempt to). What's my goal? Turn it into something interesting I might actually want to use instead of sitting in a drawer... and I mean, this pedal building/modding is supposed to be fun, right? hehe...
My question to y'all - is there anything in this PDF that's off-base? Also - what are your mods that you've done that I should check out? Is there something better than the Keeley Mod? I'm open to suggestions!
Thanks in advance if you've got some ideas!
