No worries. It's basically an amalgam of a few mod lists I read. I had a look at the schematic and what effect each change would have and kept the ones I thought would work to get the sounds I like.
Cheers bud. After I've done the modded SD-1 video with the Telecaster same as the first one I'll have to do one of both the pedals after mods with the Jaguar, I was just having all sorts of fun with them. They've both got Mustang knobs and yellow LEDs.
it reminded me more of the OCD after the mods, that's probably the only reason i'm not going out tomorrow to buy a DS1 and ship it down to you for 'the treatment'!
Yeah it definitely has much of that mid-rich Marshallesque sound about it rather than scooped trebly nonsense, although the OCD is more refined than my DS-1 is now, and a simpler circuit. A truly great pedal that, so strange it just didn't work at all with my own Marshall amp - it was so insanely bassy you could barely discern chords. They must have just been incompatible. It sounds great through the Tiny Terror and Fender amps I've played it with.

yeah, must have been like 'marshall squared' or something... i really like it through the fender, in fact, it works a treat for warming up solid state amps a touch just at a very low gain setting. takes that clinical edge off while still being technically a 'clean' sound.
edit: nice sig, sloan!

Nice job. Your mod looks fairly close to the old Keeley mod. It really opens up the DS1 and makes it a nice pedal.
They also sound great with a power starve, there's even room to build it right into the back of the unit. You can use a resistor to set a gate so you don't power off the unit.
