This is not that section.
Not too many people on the forum these days. It won't be a problem.

Quote from: greysun on January 24, 2026, 02:55:23 PMWorth noting: you could easily take the buffers out if you've already gone this far into modding the pedal, but I liked where it landed and didn't wanna push my luck. If you really don't want them even with the effect on...

www.electrosmash.com/boss-ds1-analysis slope game breaks down where the buffers start and stop. Remove those parts and set your in and out wires accordingly.
That's a pretty ambitious DS 1 project, especially keeping the original Boss board and adding true bypass afterward. I like the idea of making C3 selectable instead of committing to a single value. Having stock, darker distortion, and fuzzier lead tones in one pedal seems like a practical use of the extra switch space.

LOL. That actually might have made them work better. Those plastic pots they used in these are the one minus to this pedal. Cheeeep.
Yeah. I don't know why these were used so much in the 80w and 90s. I had a DOD performer chorus(SAD) shipped with one layer of bubble wrap in a box twice the necessary size recently. Stupid plastic pot sheered right off.

A touch of fader lube brought the Busch pots back around nicely.

If you end up replacing the pots take a few photos of the board while they're out so we can take a look at the circuit  ;)
